! plOyee of the mint, is being held at
the county Jail charged with the theftS.
! Harrington was arrested as he was
preparing to board a car for his home.
He admitted the thcftS when placed
under arrest. The amount stolen was
variously estimated at from $4,000
to $4,000. hut the sum Of SSl 400
was named in the information FLED
against Harrington.
Divuiges Hiding Places.
Harrington was Immediately taken
to his home where he divulged the
places where he had hidden the bull
lion. Most of 1t had been secreted in
a hole in the cement wall in the base
ment ofa his home, while some was
found hidden under the cement walk
in the back yard.
Harrington, whose right leg was
amputated some time ago, following
an injury. has an artificial leg. This
leg was hollow and was used as

the cellar wall had been filed with
the bullion Harrington was forced to
find another place to conceal his loot

service men, Harrington then care
fully cemented up the hole in the eel
lar wall and began to hide the gold
under the walk in the rear of his
home.

And even when the services of the dressmaker by the day were en- listed to supplement home talent the summer frock was still inexpensive.
