(Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, ril 10—In the absence of Chaplain edict, the opening prayer in the house was offered by . Rev. A. C. Dieffenbach, of Hartford, and like the usual prayers of the <chaplain teemed with paf There were many reports presented, favorable and unfuvonbl p according to rule, the lltt&‘\ going on “the uuendu- and the o in_the lseud. A big batch of busthess from e was helped on the way to !he eflendu for final action. . Defence of the Accused. There was taken from the house calendar an act favorably reported by the judiciary committee, providing for the defence of persons accused of crime, which reads: The judges of the superior court at their annual meet- ing in Junq,hor any judge thereof, des- ignated to hold any criminal term of said court, at least thirty days prior to the opening of such term, shall ap- point an attorney-at-law, of at least five years practice, to act as, lernfl)' in the defense of any person ¢l with an offense in said court when such person is without funds suffi- clent to employ counsel for such de- fense. At the close of such term, any attorney having rendered services un- der the provisions of this act, shall file with the court an itemized state- ment of expenses necessarily incur- red and of the services rendered by him during such term, and the court shall allow a reasonable sum for such services and expenses, which shall be taxed and paid as other costs in erim- inal cases. Mr. Burke of East Hartford opposed the bill as did also Mr. Geary of Wa- terford. The latter referred to the great amount of money unnecessarily expended in the courts of justice, and the bill would add another expense of that nature. He said no fault could be found by the way the accused were protected in courts. This bill would provide for eight more. jobs -in the courts of the state, and the lawyers who get these jobs are going to get in full time and perhaps a little over- time. This bill would add to the costs of the court as the criminal would then urge trial of his case on the ground that he had nothing to lose and—much to gain. In Mr. Geary’s opinion the sum of $40,000 would be wasted annually if this bill bcmno! law. Mr. Shaw of Redding told of the days when the young lawyerse weNt into the superior court opening in the hope of getting assignment to cases for the coin there was in it, and that there was no need for this new law. Mr. Peasley spoke in favor of the bill, and did not favor the plan that placed accused men at the mercy of fresh young lawyers, and strongly urged the passage of the bill. Admiral. Cowles asked permission to stem the flow of oratory long enough to anncunce that there would be a meeting of the education committee immediately after the adjournment of the house. Martin spoke in_ favor of the bill and sald the public defenders should be appointed for a longer term than 30 days before the opening of court. Mr. Hammersley of Hartford favor- ed the passage of the bill, as did also Mr. Corbett of Hartford on the ground that the case of the accused might be investigated before the actual opening of court session. He said thess pub- public defvenders would fit in well in the inferior courts as well. Mr. Fox of New London said if “you are going to create a good job make it a big fat one” as it had been in-) timated that the young lawyers do not know much of law, by some of the older lawva~s who had been heard. . -er without a conscience. Tt~ nrevious question prevailed on on_of Mr. Spencer. . Back, representing the commit- «> made the closing remarks in fa- vor of the bill, and said there were no incompetent lawyers and that not one would seek the job of a public de- fender from the judges of the super- ior_court. On a question of personal privilese, ™Mr. Geary sald he spoke advisedly when he said that there were lawyers who would seek the job, and that there was no doubt about it. The report was accepted and bill passed by a vote of 89 to 56. State Policemen’s Pay.
