governor Taylor this Afternoon re-
fused TO acknowledge the existence or
permit tie service Of q writ Of habeas
corpus issued by Judge Moore of the
county court. He thus tacitly suspends
the writ OF haheas corpus in the courts
OF Franklin county, something under
the constitution OF Kentucky which
cannot be done legally except in cases
Of rebellion or invasion.
When Sheriff Suter returned his writ
unservcd to Judge Moore, the latter
announced that he would see that the
sheriff vas given power sufficient to
enforce the mandate OF his court. DEM
ocratlc leaders do not entirely endorse
the attitude of Judge Moore, and while
they assert that his stand is right and
just they do not consider II at the
present time advisable.
