CORCAS PUTS IN
 HIS RESIGNATION

The resignation of Patrolman Cliff ford N. Gorgas, of the local Police Department, seems to have brought to an end the case against himself and Patroaman Martin Griffin, both of whom were recently arraigned before the Board of Police Commissio oners, after charges had been made against them by Sara Babcock, a 1s-year- old girl of Norwalk.
 Griffin resigned immediately when confronted with the charges, but Gorgas maintained his innocence claiming that he only made an ap. pointnent with the girl for Griffin His resignation was received few days ago, however, and is now in the hands of the commissioners. It was stated today. that this action practi- cally closes the case.
 A regular meeting of the police commissioners will be held in police Headquarters tonight, but it is not ex. pected that the Griffin and Gorgaa cases will be discussed at length.

 The coroner declares that mas much as Gazzio fired into the mids1 of a crowd of boys after he had beer warned not to do so, he finds tha1 Fredericks came to his death by the criminal act of Gazzio. The fatality occurred April in Norwalk. Gazzic was demonstrating the working of rifle to a. companion. The latter tolt Gazzio not to fire in the directoin O. some trees where Fredericks ant some other children were playing but Gazzio did not obey the warn ing.

A recently attempted escape on the part of Stella Robinson, EstelIe Smith and Lillian Scott, of 19S Knowl- ton street, from the county jail or North avenue, resulted in the three being arraigned in the City Court this morning. An additional sen tence of three months and a fine of $1 and costs was inflicted.
 The women tried to break jail b1 using a knotted quilt as a rope to lower themselves from the roof. They gained access to the roof by smash ing a skyHght, and the Robinson woman was the first to make the de scent. She landed safely on the ground and got away. EsteI1e Smith was next, but when she was about 15 feet above the ground the quilt gave way. She fell, sustaining a sprained ankle. Lillian Scott was left on the roof when the improvsed rope failed. The Scott and Smith women were soon back in their cells, and Stella Robinson was captured in South Norwalk a few days after she made her break for freedom
 At the time of the attempted es- cape, Este1le Smith was serving a sentence of nine months Stella Rob- inson and Lillian Scott were working out $50 fines. All three were sem tenced by the City Court
