THAT the big Denver jobbins

today by Barton 4 TerrilI that a two

But the Denver houses who had

Carpenter in an interview said that

bound in chairs in the treasury
room. they hoped Watchman A. J..
Gay. who was asleep In the supreme
court room, would awaken.
Carpenter wiggled out OF his
bonds shortly after the cracksmen
left and notified the police. He said
the men were evidently experts. but
quit the work of their own accord,
apparently disgusted with the failure.
