first limn that detectives had bee
employe J by tho county court In UM
so-calkd "courthouso case."
Until the bill wa presented by tho
detective agency the matter appears)
to have been a close secret. Thst at.
L. Elliott of counsel for the couatp
knew of. the retention of tho deta
tlvcs appears probable, as a mentor
nnd um on the face of the bill directs
that the warrant therefor shall, upon
proper receipt, be delivered to Me.
Elliott. Other attorneys for defea;
dnnts, however, profess utter ignor
ance of the hiring of the detective,
agency's services.
While the affair Is an admltU4
mystery to many. Judge R. H. Dm-
nell when asked about the matter
Saturday said the bill "was no mys-
tory to the county court" and Indi
cated that It was a legitimate chare
against tho county.
One festure of the service render
ed he said was Investigation of tho
source of contributions to the $85,
000 raised by subscription as a guar
antee to J. M. Dougan. contractor.
tbnt he would be paid for his work
in completing the Main street court
houso. Some 25 subscribers con
tributed to this fund, with the aa
derstandlng that tholr donatio
would be refunded, It is under toe.

one of Dougan's counsel' tojay'whoa -"v-
nsked regarding the list, "wouht
hardly seem -to have been necessary.
There was no secret regarding thla
tu,nd. It could have been had at any
tlmo for the asking and at the hear
lng of the case before Judge Hamil
ton here wo produced tho com pie to
list. We had It on hand In the court
room and produced It on request. In
case defendant bad not asked for it
we fully Intended to Introduce It off
our motion."
The detective company'a bill la
sworn to by C. L. Haxlett, manager
of the Glgnac Secret Service of Sam
Francisco. It was presented and at- ,
lowed June 1. While the face of tho
account shows a demand for 1073.8,
It was allowed for $1173.00, whether
by error or design does not appear.
Operative No. 15 charges 4ft days'
service from March 11 to April 3S,
1920. at $8 a day. a total of SKI:

telegram.
The bill was allowed from the cur
rent court fund. On the theory that
tho county's budget system requires
tho publication of notice In advanco ,
pt collection of funds the exact pur
poso tor which they aro to be. spent,
which he alleges was not dono la
this case, the county clerk refuses to
draw a warrant for 'the bill.
At Saturday's meeting the court
directed tho court to enter upon tho
journal a resolution In regard to tho
bill, but the journal shows no entry.
It is understood that the clerk asked
the court to have 'tho resolution pro
pared by its attorneys In order .to
have greater exactitude. v
Warrants have not yet been draw
