““® * * Likewise without any order of the board of county commissioners, the county attorney may appoint as many deputies as necessary for the faithful and prompt discharge of the duties of his office, providing that no compensation or salary may be allowed therefor. R.C.M.1947, § 16-2409. See State v. Crouch, 70 Mont. 551 , 227 P. 818 , where this court sustained the right of the county attorney to appoint a deputy to act without pay.””

Moran““Likewise the rule is that even though there was no order of appointment of the special prosecutor, the defendant is in no position to complain so long as he had a fair and impartial trial and so long as the special prosecutor is not guilty of conduct prejudicial to defendant. State v. O’Brien, 35 Mont. 482 , 90 P. 514 ; State v. Briggs, 45 Mont. 400 , 123 P. 410 .””
