Martial law questioned as habeas writ frees Duncan in Hawaii
Federal Judge Delbert E. Metzger overrode Hawaii military leaders by issuing a habeas corpus writ to release Lloyd C. Duncan from the city jail. Duncan, a former civilian Navy yard worker, had been held by a provost court for six months after assaulting two sentries. The judge said martial law could exist with the writ in force, citing Hawaii’s restored habeas corpus. Admirals Nimitz and Richardson argued martial law remained necessary due to invasion risk.
