The burglars, being warned by tho sound of his approach, rushed out of the store and into the car, which was set in motion. and Was soon on ifs way down the street Phillip Fagan's shot gun parked, as did the re- volvcr Of the prosecutor. Tle car did not stop, however. The Berlin officer gave chase and as he was nearing the Moscl plant on Farm ington avenue, he saw that the other car had turned over along the roadside and that tho burglars had fled. The car was totally wrecked, but there was no sign of anyone.
 In the car and scattered on the ground. were several boxes of socks which had hocn taken. Three hats were found in the car, one of them bearing q namc. it is said.
