In regard to the charges in said bill re-
latng to expenses to Chicago and ser

| ior evidence in a case as witnesses out OF
| the staue are beyond the jurisdiction of
| the Court Section 1853 Revised Statutes
provides if the district attorney of one
county shall be required to go to another
tran nt hI1c nc ri Istr of
attorney he shall be paid by his county
the amount of his necessary expenses In
transacting such business.
| know of no law by which an attorney
appointed by an order of the court to act
as district attorney can charge retainer
fee for making brief and consultations;
an attorney appointed by an order of the
court to defend prisoner by law, (Sec-
ton Alb r. 5. his compensation is not
to exceed fifteen dollars per day. There
is no law stating what the compensation
of an attorney appointed by an order OF
| the court to prosecute a case as district
attorney shall be. In my judgment he
is entitled to such compensation as the
Board of Supervisors i'll view OF all the
facts surrounding the case shall deem
just and proper
