The impres sion Is quit general that Powell' tenure of office Is exceedingly uncer tain, and that his removal would be apt to follow the receipt at Washington of any news that would call attention afresh to his unsavory record. There is distinct significance therefor In th fact that through the accommodating acquiescence of two of th judges of the circuit court he was allowed last Tuesday to withdraw from th court files the complaint which his ex-wlf had lodged against him, only three days before. The main facts in the latest chapter of Powell's career are as follows: Toroed to ray Alimony. A year or two before his appoint ment as United States marshal, Mrs. Powell secured a divorce from him and was awarded alimony amounting to 4S0 a year. Then came his appointment his departure for XTaslta and a rew months later the exposure through The Journal of hi stealings from th oounty during his term as county cierg. unc aaieiy tuv6nd the 'lurisdiction of the Oregon courts, Powell paid no further attention to the alimony which he had been or dered to pay to the first -Mrs. Powell, and so long as he stayed outside of the stat, she had no redress.
