 After the bandits had robbed a filling station at Cheshire last eve- ming, then driven to Bristol where they shot Patrolman McNamce when he questioned them as they entered another gas station, they apparently drove to Waterbury ant quit the car here.
 Two Men Disappear

Morrlsscy and later driven to Bris- tol, where the policeman was killed an immediate search for tho ban dits was instituted throughout Wa tcrbury.
 Identified as Local Youth
 One Of the bandits is said to be a 9%s year old boy named John Brophy. who divides his time be- tween Waterbury and New Britain and who has a court record. Bro phy was seen in New Britain yes tcrday afternoon spending freely. One Of his companions was seen in New Britain late last night and ap- ncarcd excited.
 Waterbury police were given q tip from a New Britain source this morning that this Brophy might be ing his habits, gave the Waterbury police the cue that he might be in q riding academy stable in the north end of Waterbury.
 Has BcItload of Ammunition
 Acting on this information, Wa tcrbury and New Britain police went to the stable and, as they were about to close in on the place for n search, Brophy is said to have rounded q coIncr.
 Quick on the trigger, he unloadcd his automatic in the direction of the Bristol policeman. Carrying q belt of cartridges. the bandit kept firing as he retreatcd. He slipped through a yard and into the rugged brush land, where he was soon lost sight Of, He reloaded his automatic as he dashed away.
