HOW LAW PROVIDES
 FOR A DEFECTIVE
Major Hadiai A. Hull Speaks Highly
 of William E. Jackson.

Maj. Hadlai A. Hull in speaking of the appointing of a detective to work in conjunction with his office. states | that this statute providing for such detective is not a new law passed by the last general assembly, although chapter 211. adopted by the assembly, amends the old statute. A portion of this amendment statute reads:
 3Any states attorney, upon the au- thorization of the judges of the super for court. or any judge thereof * < may employ suitable persons to make investigations regarding criminal of fences which he may have reason to believe have been committed CT are about to be perpetrated, and to assist fn procuring evidence for the state, and to prevent any unlawful interfer- ence with the course of justice in civil or criminal cases.
 '"The persons so employed shall be allowed a reasonable compensation to be fixed by the judge or court author izing such employment and paid quar- terly by the treasurer of the state in such manner as costs in criminal ca ses."
 Major Hull spoke highly of the work of William E. Jackson who has served for several years as a member of the state police force. and he said Mir. affairs in New London county, as most of his work had been done in this To- cality. In view of his employment by the state he has worked in con junction with the states attorneys of flee in each county where criminal cases were investigated. Major Hull says Mir. Jackson is not only a ccura- geouS official but he is also a man of keen judgment, knowing how far he can go and still be within his legal rights.
 That MT. Jackson has we'll earned his appointment to this position is certain.
