ARREST LIKELY
IN HOLD UP OF
117/ BLAKE’S PLACE

Police Get Clue To Year
Old Sensation In Which
Gamesters Were Victims.

Norwalk police expect an early ar-
rest in the famous hold-up of the
card game in quarters alleged to

ave been operated by John Blake
J11 Main street, a year ago. when
four hold-up men entered the room
and lined a large number of men
against the wall.

The robbers took money and few-
siry from the men. The police have
been working quietly on the case
since then. but no arrests were made.
They have a clue now which may
lead to an arrest.

It is believed that one of tho-
men. who was lined up against the
wall was a member of the hold-up

,gang and that he was “planted" in

the poker game. The police admit-
ted that they were working on the
case and expected an early arrest.
.but refused to give the name of the
man they suspect. ii this man is
arrested the identity of the other
members of the stick-up artists is
expected to be known in a short
time.

CRAP PLAYER
CORONER FINDS

Evidence, N o t “Legally
Convincing”, Satisfies
Phelan Constable Killed
Bridgeport Youth.

BRIDGEPORT. May 14.-—-(AP)
“Petty craps gambling is not such
a serious offense in law as Jeopardis-
ing human life in its suppression."
Coroner John J. Phelan comments
in a finding of accidental death
handed down in the death of Henry
Fisher. 20. of Bridgeport.

Coroner Phelan says it is shown
by testimony presented before him
“with moderate though unconvincing
legal assurance“ thatws‘ishcr. was
killed by a bullet which came from
tho ne’glige’ntly handled pistol of
Constable Arthur J. Bennett during
a raid on craps played on April 24
in Fairfield.

Declaring “popular odds and my
personal belief are in favor of the
presumed guilt of Constable Ben-
nett." Coroner Phelan points out that
“it is difficult to determine with
probable certainty whose shot killed
Fisher."

He finds as a result that Fisher
“came to his death accidentally as a
result of being shot inadvertently by
a member of the raiding party."

According to Carlton B. Struyer.
superintendent of the hospital. he
can give no reason for the girl's
act other than she was suffering
from temporary insanity.

Victim of Suggmtion

He suggested that perhaps she
was a victim of the power of sug-
gestion. A short time ago. a nurse
at the Danbury Hospital took her
life. and this death, according to
Mr. Strayer. had been referred to
several times recently by Miss lilac-

in a comparatively few minutes and
then "went out."

Her work at the hospital had
never been criticized by her su-
