Show Says Governior Is a Usurper Denver Attorney Is Bitter Against Colorado Executive in Briof Filed in Court. DENVER, April 30. dov. James II. Peabody Is declared to be a uaurpor in a lengthy brief filed before the Supreme court today by Attorney E. F. Richardson Richard-son in the heabeas corpus caso of Charles H. Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Minora, who is held as a military prisoner at Tellurlde. Gov. Peabody Is compared by Mr. Richardson to a soldier drunk with power and his acts in trying to suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus cor-pus to the acts of tyranny practiced on the people, of England by the olden Kings. .Mr. Richardson in his brief attacks tho decision of the Supreme court of Idaho in a similar case, and says it Is the only court in the country that has said that the military was above the Judiciary. Ho says that the decision does not follow practically common sense and that the Supreme court of Colorado should not consider It when deciding the present case. The Legislature alone, Mr, Richardson Richard-son says, has the authority to determine when the conditions require tho suspension sus-pension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus and then suspend it. |
