HALLETT WITHOUT
JURISDICTION
The United States District Court at
Denver Thus Decides in the
Parker Case.

Denver, Jan. 20-Judge Moses Hal
lett in the United States District
Court today, after consideration of the
Sherman Parker habeas corpus suit
against the military authorities of
Colorado, announced that his court is
without Jurisdiction in the matter
Parker is the union miner of Cripple
Creek who was held in the military
bull pen without warrant.
In his opinion Hallet said that in
times Of turbulence and when there
was a probability of violence, discre-
tion may be exercised by the authori-
ties in holding prisoners without bail.
There was nothing to show, he said,
that Justice would be interrupted in
Teller County.
1t rests with the district authorities
to determine who shall have the right
to refuse to grant bail to prisoners.
Continuing he said, "The Governor as
the executive of the state is authorized
and required to enforce law and If in
so doing he finds it necessary to call
out the militia and to use the power
of the state, he should do SO. The mat
ter of how a state should enforce the
law is not for the federal government
to state. The people of the state are
to be congratulated in having Gov
ernor who will enforce the law The
court will not interfere with him in
the execution of his duties"
