Co. diamonds started another line of in- vestigation, and it is reported that men were found who will be witnesses to iden- tify the robbers if they are ever found
 Mure recently a line of investigation was taken e0 on ; report that the three robbers, all of. whom were said to have been wearing driving gloves at the time they visited the, Bliss store, had been in this city several days before the robbery and had kept their automobile at a garage. The proprietor of the garage was summoned to police headquarters and questioned one Sunday night. The follow ing night he was there again with men in his employ. Wha. developed from this questioning has not been disclosed.
 According to the authorities. they are working on the theory that the bold rob bery was the work of professionals. that theory proves to be the correct one, it has been argued in some quarters that the "rogues gallery of the Pnkerton men should doubtless contain the pictures of the men who carried out the robbery and the most likely way to get close to the robbers would be to have MT. Wilson and the other men who say they car identify the robbers look over the Pinller tons gallery. They might be able tS pick out from it some crooks who looked | like the pen they say they can remember Then by checking up the whereabouts O. i these crooks whom the Norwich men pick
 cd out. it might be possible to say whethe
 they could have been the trio that got thu Bliss diamonds.

S1.OOO TODAY IS AIM
 IN CHRISTMAS SEALS SALES

With only one day left in the Christmas seal drive, Norwich stands nearly s1,000 short of her accepted quota of $3,000, which means that there must be an excep- tional sale of seals today and the return of large number. of mail orders for seals and health bonds This sounds like large amount of money, but considering that Norwich has a population of 3o,G00 it will mean that each person in town would have to give only about three cents. If every person should duplicate their purchases today Norwich would go over the top with record equalled by no place in the country.
 The result of Mondays sales is as follows: Total to Monday, $1,S65.S4, re- ceived Monday-Breed theatre $1451, Davis theatre s13.55. Porteous & Mitchell $15.17, Boston store $4.S5, Thames bank $23.26, Uncas bank $1S.26, Norwich Saw ings society $7.35, Wauregan house $2S.31, headquarters S3o.99, mail orders $57; total Monday $213z5; grand total $2,O79.09.
 The booth at Porteous & MitchelFs was taken in charge Monday for the rest of the drive by Mrs E. Howard Baker, and Mrs. James J. Casey of Broad
 street was at the Davis theatre on Mon day afternoon,
 Tuesday afternoon the Red Cross booth | at the Davis theatre will be in charge of i Mrs. P. F. Sweeney and Tuesday evening
