There were pistols, double barreled shotguns, single barreled' shotguns rvifles and even ancient muskets. The woods, one of the wildest surrounds a large lake owned by the Forestville Fishing club known as Grannis lake. From the point wher® the car was| abandoned to the Mount Vernon road there stretches a densely cov- ered swamp which made it almost impossible for anyone to make way | to the west. All roads leading out of the woods were covered and soon eight state policemen under two sergeants were on the scene. They started a sys-| tematic search of the woods. As the posse increased in num. bers with each group of citizens | which arrived, the position of the bandits became more precarious. Parties in automobiles searched | each wagon trail leading into the| woods while the cordon of police | and citizens scoured through the un- | derbrush on foot. A car containing Ralph Thomp- son, son of Constable G. R. Thomp- son of Southington, and Arthur} Lindstrom, well known baseball | pitcher, nosed its way down a little used lane. As they approached an old wooden bridge, they sighted a man carrying a light coat and a black hand bag. As soon as he saw | the car, he dodged into the woods to his right and started to run. Thomp- ! son, unarmed, jumped out of the | car and gave chase while Lindstrom, | | who had a revolver, turned the car | labout and headed it around to the dther side of the patch of woods.

A check-up at | the institution following the close of [the day’s business at 3 o'clock we»] terday afternoon showed that $4,400 had been taken.
