The clerk of said court, or any deputy clerk thereof, the marshal of said court, or
any deputy marshal thereof, may be suspended from office by order of the chief judge
of said court, on the ground of any misconduct in or out of office, which, in the
opinion of the chief judge, tends to lower the dignity of such official or unfit [sic]
him in any way to fill such position. Within ten days from the date of the order of
suspension, the officer so suspended may enter his appeal in writing to the court
as a whole, and thereupon, a copy of the charges against such official shall be furnished
him and the judges of said court sitting in banc shall hear the same. If the charges
are sustained to the satisfaction of a majority of said judges, such official shall
be removed forthwith from office. In the case the judges are evenly divided, the vote
of the chief judge shall control. In the event the officer so suspended fails to enter
his appeal in writing within ten days of the date of the order by the chief judge
suspending such officer, unless further time be allowed by order of court, then it
shall be the duty of the chief judge to pass an order declaring such officer permanently
removed from office.
