DENVER.-With a wooden leg Or vile Harrington did the impossible He robbed the United States mint here. Harrington. s4a-day employe carried away in the hollow of an ar tficial limb s100,000 in gold bullion in six weeks.
 While the Death Angel stands watch now between two cribs in his home, Harrington is in jail for the acknowledged execution of a plot that rivals the fancy of novelists.
 He stole. he says, for his children. and to give luxury to his college bred wife. It was the avarice of the man. born of his success. that made him steal "just little more" until he was caught.
 None More Trusted
 Harrington who is a graduate of and past president of it's alumni, had been a mint employe for years. There was none more trusted than he.
 Astounded by the disappearance each day of single bar of gold bull lion, mint officials summoned Row land K. Goddard of the U- $. secret service. Employees were searched at every hour. Each night another bull lion bar was gone.
 Harrington found it easy to slip the precious rod of metal in a narrow slot cut through the cork of his artificial leg. He stood his search al the exit each night.
 Buried In Cellar
 At first he hoarded his treasure in a heap ol loose earth in his cellar. One night the bar he added brought the total close to S100,000-331 pounds.
 Ut is enough" Harrington told him. self T can work two years to allay suspicion. Then I can retire with poor health for an excuse and take her and the kiddies some place and they can spend it.

 Still they had no inlxling of the method by which Harrington ;smuggled his loot from the building. So one night Goddard waited for Harrington at the street car stop on the corner. He touched him on the shoulder. and said, Hello"
 T don't know you, but good even ing" Harrington replied.
 T am Goddard" said the chief. Come back to the mint. l want to talk to you"
 Harrington almost fainted. On the way back he asked if Goddard would shoot him if he ran.
 You couldn't get far with that leg" said Goddard, T wouldn't shoot"
 Not even if I tried to take your gun away from you?' the man insist that warned Goddard. Ha handcuffed his prisoner against attempt at sui eide.

 Harrington told his whole story freely and pulled up his trousers leg to show the cork and metal limb be- meath and the channel where that days stealings lay
 Harrington was injured by gun shot in his youth. Ifs leg was para lyzed and two years ago Harrington had it amputated at the knee.
