gaining admission by that route. They admitted that their gang con- sisted of about eight other men and four girls and more arrests are ex- peCted.
 On the previous haul, the robbers took S125 worth of goods from the drug store, which will probably never be recovered as the men averred that the loot was divided immediately after the haul
 It is still a. puzzling question to the police how the men were able to break a plate glass window in the store at approximately 4 o'clock in the morning without detection from people living in a house that is across the street from the store.
 A third man who was questioned by the police in connection with the robbery denied his guilt and the two men who confessed refused to iden- tlfy him as one of the gang. saying that although they were willing to tell the real members of the criminal band they had never seen the third man. Police doubt their story and the third man is under surveillance by the Hartford police.
 The Hartford police believe that the gang is responsible for thefts in Hartford, Glastonbury, Rockville, Bristol, Rocky Hill. New Hartford, Wethersfeld, East Hampton, Farm- ington, Old Lyme. Unionville and other towns besides the Berlin bur glaries.
