Biography
Bill Haywood’s memoir installment XLV on page 6 describes young Cripple Creek miner Victor Poole repeatedly confined in the bull-pen and jail during the Colorado labor war. Haywood says Governor Peabody claimed suspension of habeas corpus in his case; when a federal application was pending, military authorities procured a minor criminal accusation and transferred him to the county sheriff. The source gives neither the alleged offense’s particulars nor individual booking, transfer or release dates, a conviction or measured duration. This retrospective account does not create separate cases for unspecified repeated arrests.
