 It is alleged that Fislc broke into the West End club some time Saturday night and took $59 in cash from the register, five boxes of Christmas candy. and ciSht car tons of cigarettes.

 Another member of the organiza- tion who had been with I7iske at a dance on the night before remem bered a remark that he had made 10 the effect that he was going to do something that they would not like him for" and with the aid Of a note that had been left at the clubroom by the thief. the police traced the car which he was driv- ing to New Britain. The number of the machine was known and was teletyped to the various depart ments of the state by the local off cials. The note which Fiske left at the club read, "The whole West End club has got lots to learn and so has the police department and was matched with writing on post cards which he had mailed to sev- eral club members and identified as his.
 Remembers Girl
 The man who had been riding with l'iske on the night before re- mcmbcrod that two girls whom they were with were from New Britain and escorted the local police to an : alleged hang out of I'iskc's in that city where q number of men said that he had been there and had been exceedingly generous with his money, spending a large sum. buying drinks for the group, which numbered about 20.
 With the aid Of tip" the oni- COTS drove to the corner of Miller street and Pennington avenue and found FiSkc fast asleep behind the wheel of the car which he had been driving. He was placed under ar rest and brought to Bristol.
 All that could be recovered of the loot was $24 in cash, which was on his person, three cartons of cigar cites and several open packages Of the cigarettes, but no candy. It was thought that the candy was given to the girls, with whom he had been in the earlier part of the day. The. car was the property of Fiskc's $ aunt.
 Arrested Before
 Tiskc was arrested in this city in December, 1928. for the Hartford police for the theft of an automo- bile, it was said today.
 He is said to have entered the local club house Saturday night by severing catch on the door.
 It is thought possible ny the po- lice that Fiske had something to do with recent breaks in this city. The last break was reported at a candy store at the south end of the city about three weeks ago. If any of the breaks can be traced to him, it is believed that all recent local robberies will have been solved. The Janicks, recently sentenced, caused considerable trouble on the outskirts of the city and were ap- prchcnded, and the police believe that it is now time to round up a few Of those breaking in at the central places of business.
