Intimation that Powell waa Implicated in
the election frauds attempted last June
in this city.
' Information did .reach the president,
however, that Powell had keen indicted a
dosen years sgo, while county clerk, and
Jie demanded of Fulton that aatlsfaotory
evidence should be submitted that Pow
elt was duly acquitted and that the la
4 tment afforded no food reason for re
aunlni to appoint him to federal office.
- Pulton thereupon wired to Whitney U
Bolne, chairman of the "Republican
couty central committee, asking him p
OTO wits. Powell to Judge M. O. Munly.
who was on the circuit bench in ISM and

,h. asked btm to five a statement of

-was acquitted, and be did SO. Hla state
ment was sent to the president. It
showed that the offense charged by the
Indictment was a purely technical one,
envoi vine no dishonesty or moral -delln-eiuency
on Powell's part, and that the
.verdict of acquittal was the neoossarr re

s ensation Powell was elected county

A wo years later. . Jt was during his last

missioners. Both sdmit that they
learned -that Powell was short la his
accounts but both say they supposed
that the shortage, was made good be

ords show that this wss not the case.
, The fact of this second shortage ap
pears to have been carefully kept from
public knowledge, but whispers - went
bout that all waa not right In the
county clerk's' office, end finally Insistent
demands arose for a thorough inresti

grand Jury but without success, Flnal

probably .t a number of other people,
an Indictment on such m ground wss
farcical. -When the case came on' for
trial ' In, December, ISM, the attention
of the court wss called to amblgultlss
in the law which, mads it exceedingly
doubtful -whether-even' pn the " most
technical grounds Powell could be bald
guilty." He took the stand In Jits own
behalf nd . prof eased his willingness to
publish the statement contemplated by
the law, but his predecessors had failed
to do this snd Judge Munly . had no
course to pursue except to Instruct the
Jury to bring. In a verdict of acquittal.
The belief Is expressed, by some per
sons conversant, with the facta tbat tb
indictment against Powell ( was - pre
sented for the purpose of diverting at
tention from his shortages, and that it
was intentionally drawn so as to make
his acquittal Inevitable. ; Whether this
be true or not. the proceedings had no
reference to his defalcations as county
clerk. No legal proceedings were ever
Instituted -to compel .repayment of the
publlo funds which ha had appropriated.
Powell has made many bitter enemies
during his political career, and some of
them, have boon gathering Information
as to his acts while an oOoe-holder in
this county, for tho purpose of laying
It before President Roosevelt. It to be
lieved that the president is already la
possession of some of the facts as to
Powell's delinquencies' whlls eountyi
cleric It IS notorious tnax ns was im
plicated In the wholesale election frauds
attempted' by the Republican machine
In the last county election. -and a num
ber of fraudulent affidavits bearing his
signature are sxtant, to say nothing of
tboss on file with other election records
In the county dark's office.
Since the land faud disclosures Pres
ident Roosevelt has been especially anx
ious to make no more appointments to
federal 00100 from this state unless
thoroughly satisfied of the Integrity and
good character of the appointee. Pow
ell had the indorsement - of 1 Senator
Mitchell in bis eandldscy for marshal
at Nome, but this did not satisfy the
presidents and it was not until Senator
Fulton gave Powell hla unqualified In
dorsements that the president consented
to make the appointment. - It Is the
general belief that when Roosevelt be
eomes acquainted with Powell's true
record, the appointment-will be sum
marily revoked. -
Phllo Holbrook, who was county com
mlaioner during Powell's last , term as
eountv clerk., said this morning:
"Tea, I remember that Powell was
short In bis accounts but I 00 not re
member the amount and it was-my un
derstanding that no made 1 good, hie
shortage before ho went out of office. I
think be-turned , over . fees enough to
make up tho amount, but I cannot recall
the circumstances clearly after so long
time." ' ' -..'-;..
Judge Moreland, who was county Judge
when the shortage arose, makes a simi
lar statement. No record of any repay
ment can be found in either tho county
treasurer's books or In ths records of
the county clerk's offloe, Apparently
Powell owes the county today at least
SIOs and possibly more than that..
