Show ATTACK COLORADO JURIST. Attorneys Claim He Should be Barred Fr.n CopI Miner Trials. Denver. Horace X. Hawkins and A M. Belcher, attorneys for the Unites Mine Workers of America, have filed applications for writs of prohibition hi the state supreme court asking that District Judge Granby Hillyer of Lamar La-mar be prevented from sitting in the trials of three former striking coal miners accused of crimes in Huerfano county. It is alleged in the petitions that Judge Hillyer should be disqualified 1 because he was formerly employed by the coal operators in cases against the strikers before he was appointed district dis-trict judge. Recently at Walsenburg Judge Hillyer overruled a motion for change of venue in cases growing out of the Colorado coal strike. |
