Judge Hallett Declares No Jurisdiction In Parker Habeas Case
Denver Jan 20 Judge Moses Hallett in the United States District Court ruled the court lacks jurisdiction in the Sherman Parker habeas corpus suit against Colorado military authorities. Parker, a Cripple Creek union miner, is held without warrant. Hallett said discretion may justify detaining prisoners during turbulence, and that the Governor must enforce the law, with the state authorities handling enforcement rather than the federal courts. The Supreme Court has limited federal review when state authorities execute state laws. The people of Colorado are praised for having a governor who will enforce the law, and the court will not interfere.
