The delay in pushing forward the cases brorrgh against negligent admin- lstrators of estates by I). Preston At- wood. of Bridgeport is believed byi‘md is very Willing to step several lawyers in this city, says the Waterbury American to be only a pre- text for keeping the sued administra- tors ln suspense, with tile view to scaring them so that they will even- tually settle. Though the cases were returnable to the Court of Common Pleas in Bridgeport, Tuesday, thus far neither I). l’rcstorr nor his attorneys .have made any visible effort to get the cases going. Some lawyers believe that before long the adrriinlstrators will receive letters urging them to settle for 8100 a case. ‘Atwood‘s lawyers some time ago sent out invitations to the unfor- tunate administrators telling them that Mr. Atwood didn't care to prosc- cute them and was willing in his abundant good nature. to collect. $100 from each one. rather than go through the dlsconrforts of a trial to get the 8240 he claimed the law allowed him. This offer has not, so far as is known. been accepted oy anybody. Another devolopment in the matter was the receipt some weeks ago. of a state paper with a column editorial. by all the lawyers who had been re- tained to defend the suits brought a- gainst administrators. "l‘lris editorial was written evidently with the inten- tion of showing that Atwood wasn't so black as ire was painted. It showed how the law which he wished enforc- ed had been neglected of late and how much the state would have benefitted if the law had been put into practical operation. A few days after another Issue of the same journal to the lawyer and in it was another cdltoral rubbing Atwood in u L-orriior‘tlng man- nor. Just how nrrrct the cases will be at- fcctcd by the endless chain scheme of one administrator suing another, as was accomplished In this city, is not known. Some lawyers here say that the scheme is all right, while other are of the opirrlon that the decision will be overruled by the higher courts. MORE ECHOES OF MANASSAS, Members of Company D State That They Went Hungry on Battlefield. More echoes of the treatment ac- corded'the Norwalk companies at Man assas are heard and vigorous "kicks" are being registered on every side, partlcrrlariy because of lack of food. A. C. Golding. of East avenue, who was commissary sergeant for three years in the Civil War, is authority for the statement that during all his avrrerlcrrccs in that conflict the rations were not as poor and as scanty as the boys received at Manassas. Mr. Gold- ing trampcd all through the Virginia fields with the boys the past two weeks and knows whereof he speaks, One member of Company D, gave a Sentinel reporter this morning’ an idea of the way the members of the com- pany fared. “From Monday noon until Tuesday night," he said, ”we had noth- ing to eat except, a piece of bacon about two inches long and a piece of hard tack, Tuesday we had no dinner and no water, which was the nrost ox- aspcrating part.of the whole affair. Every time we wanted to fill our can- teen we would find the water in the camp pipes turned off. Thursday we had no dinner. Thursday night we did get a supper of bread and jam. That night we were out in a cornfield on the banks of the Bull Run River. The only drinking water we had was from the river. Several of the boys tried it. but were soon taken with cramps and decided that they had rather go thirsty than drink the stuff. Friday we had no breakfast and no dinner and to top the whole business we had to wait from Saturday at 5 o'clock un- til Sunday morning at 5 o'clock along- side the rallroad tracks for a train to bring us home." The gentleman who gave the above information is a reliable oiliL er of Com- pany D. He added in conclusion that he never wanted to go into camp again under such conditions as prevailed this year.
