Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biennial Report of the Attorney-General of the State of Colorado The vote was in favor of licensing saloons. Pursuant to the result of this election, the authorities of the City and County of Denver proposed to grant licenses expiring at a date later than the first day of January, 1916, the effective date of the state-wide prohibition amendment. It was agreed between myself and the Honorable James A. Marsh, City Attorney of the City and County of Denver, that an early determination of this question was advisable from every viewpoint. Accordingly, Mr. Marsh joined me in an application to the Supreme Court of the State of Colorado to take original jurisdiction of a case in certiorari to determine the right of the authorities of the City and County of Denver in this regard, and a decision was rendered by the Supreme Court in the case of People ex rel, George A. Carlson as Governor and Fred Farrar as Attorney General, plaintiffs, vs. Clair J. Pitcher, Commissioner of Finance and ex-officio Excise Commissioner of the City and County of Denver, and August Koch, defendants, in which the Supreme Court held that the City and County of Denver was amenable to the provisions of the Constitution concerning prohibition. The decision put at rest those claims which were advanced to the effect that the City and County of Denver, being a charter city, was entitled to determine the question for itself regardless of the action of the State as a whole. Other decisions of interest to the state might be referred to, but inasmuch as they are rather generally known it would seem unnecessary to revert to them here. Prosecution of Cases Arising Out of the Coal Mine Strike of 1913-1914 Pursuant to the direction given by your predecessor, the Honorable Elias M. Ammons, and maintained by yourself, this department continued the prosecution of indictments returned in Las Animas and Huerfano Counties in which various persons were charged with crime arising out of the coal strike in those two counties, and also continued in co-operation with the district attorneys having jurisdiction in the counties of Fremont and Boulder. Prosecution of these cases was continued to the extent that circumstances and results seemed to justify. The difficulty of obtaining convictions became so great by reason of the dilatory tactics set up by the defense in petitions for change of judge, change of venue and similar things, and so much influence was brought to bear against the continuation of the further prosecution of any of these cases, that it was deemed advisable to dismiss most of them. This was accordingly done. A few of the more serious cases yet remain undismissed, and several, where convictions were obtained, are now pending on writ of error in the Supreme Court of this state.
