The petition OF Alfred Packer, the
man.eater, Tor u writ Of habras corpus
was on Tuesday denied by the su.
pfcmo court at Denver, Colo. TIE
court decides that The authority NJ the
district court 20 iuf Jet successive psu-
Rlties for several convictions ~ upheld
by law and therefore the cumulative
sentence w established In Colorado.
The opinion D. by Chief Justict Huyt
and Is n ltgtl document OF unusual
interest 10 the legal fraternity. The
opsc dates back ne far NJ lSs3 and the
main facts arB we'll known TO the PEG.
pie Of the state. Parker was CON
victtd upon 1--WE separate indicl.
mems for murder. Af,er escaping
the gallowa by technically, the
prisoner wns sent 10 Canon Ciiy to
serveR term OF forty years, or eight
year, for each odeuse. Having ferved
time for the first o1ense, hls attorneys
applied for n writ OF habeRs corpus on
the point that the district court had no
power 10 order consolidation OF the
tivo casce.
The chief Justice critically examines
the verdict ~ banded In by the jury
and arrives vi the conclusion that the
Jury convicted the Defendant for the
nve separate oflrnses aa charged aud
that the judgment is equally specific.
The point that one term OF imprisOn.
mcnt cannot begin when another ter.
inmates IL handled ut length, and u
long array OF authorities are cited TO
prove that the opposite view IN hold by
the best legal minds. Now that the
attorneys Of Packer have exhausted
every resource us Tar ns application to
the supreme court IN concerned, II Ia
reported that nav course viii be
blocked out. The point Will next be
raised that the act was committed In a
territory, subject TO the Jurisdiction Of
this United Statea courts, and NOT 9TH
In the Jurisdiction OF tho ,v..,s Of
Colorado. Should the point be sus.
tanned, Packer will probably be tried
over agail In the United Statos court.
