a porter Of the hotel,
The hospital officials said that Mans
field could hardly recover. He showed
no signs Of having been drinking, but
they were not sure that he had not

Mr.. Moran claiming that his predeces-
sors in office have been guilty of author
izing payments over which they have
no control.
In HIS announcement the district at
torney declares that he viii not, be-
cause he has not the authority, 10 au-
thoriZe the bills presented by interpre-
ters and medical witnesses In payment
for their appearance before the grand
and petit jurles; he also refuses to au-
thorlze the payment Of witnesses trav-
cling expenses beyond the limits Of the
state; declines TO authorize police off,
cials to draw money from the county
treasurer 10 pay the expenses incident
TO bringing TO this state any offender
captured outside the boundaries of the
commonwealth. In this last contention
Mr.. Moran is supported by the attorney
general, Herbert Parker.
MIR Moran's claim Is that under the
statute, interpreters and medical wit
nesses In the courts are entitled TO only
ordinary witnesses fees,
The medical examiners In Suffolk
county receive $4,000 year for their
services and this, Mr.. Moran claims, is
sufficient compensation for the work
they do. They have been accustomed
to receive SIS for each time they testi-
fy before the grand jury and S25 for
each appearance before petit jury.
