Judge Poffenberger of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals announced the court’s decision denying a habeas corpus writ to transfer Mother Jones and other labor leaders from military custody to civil authorities. The ruling refers to a state of insurrection due to the Kanawha coal field miners strike, and does not address the governor’s military commission’s authority to try the accused, a question allegedly settled by a prior U S Supreme Court decision upholding the swan military court.
