Last Friday the petition Of District
Attorney Henninger asking the reap
pOintment Of County Detective Jas. a
McMarlin "for three months or until
his successor was appointed or the Of
fee dispensed with" was dismissed and
refused, the Courts order stating that
the great decrease in the criminal bust
ness made a County Detective unneces-
sary. The decrease Of crime, from 2Oj
cases in 1899, MeMarlin's first year, to
AS cases in 1901. must be due, at least
partly. TO his effective work as detec-
tive, and If anything was an argument
for retaining him. The reduction is
sixty cases and the costs saved to the
county in sixty cases would amount TO
four times McMarlins salary Of $500 a
year
