Denver police officers found what they
thought either a floating United States
mint, detached part OF the federal
subtreasury or a walking gold mine at
Twelfth and Walnut streets shortly
after ~ O'Clock one night this week.
But it was only William Mullen, a
union blacksmith. who lives at the West
ern hotel.
Officer Chris Matson made the first
probe into Mullen's pockets. He hit
something that clinked. 1t was a purse.
In the pocketbook was $50 gold piece.
Officer Matson prospected further. Up
came $3.50 in small silver, then $50 in
currency.
Jailer Charles Peck took the prison
er in hand Some papers came from the
coat The first was just a trifle-a
certificate of deposit for 81 500.
Another paper erackled-a certificate
for $1,000. then another for 5000 and
one for $1,000, making sl0,954 in all.
The police officers We're so dazed they
permitted Bill to walk away without
leaving deposit for Judge Bray in the
municipal court.
