Evam-Roper Wedding Told Miss Anna Virginia Evans and Mr. Otis Roper of Ashland, were married at 10 o'clock Friday morning, June 23rd at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Evans, In Chlloquln. Rev. Theodore Smith of the Presbyterlsn church of Klam ath Falls officiated, the ring cere mony being used- The bride was given in marriage by her father. Miss Virginia Patterson of Klamath Agency, was maid of honor, and Mr. Frank Barchus of Washougal, Wash., acted as best man. The bride was lovely In a gown of rose silk and cream lace and carried a shower bouqxiet of roses. Lohengrin's wedding march was .played by Mrs. Jean Blake. About thirty guests were present and a sumptuous breakfast was served fol lowing the ceremony. The young couple left almost Immediately by motor fur Crescent City, Calif., and will be away for a few days. They will reside near Ashland. Only rela tives and a few Intimate friends of the bride were present. The bride formerly resided at Tal ent. Ore., where she graduated from high school tn 1927. Two Recitals of Week Please Many By Jeunesse Butler The past week was marked by a number of musical events coinci dent with the close of the spring teaching season, among them the Invitational piano recital by Miss Marian Moore, who was presented Tuesday evening at the Baldwin re cital hall by her mother and only instructor, Harvey Amoss Moore. As sisting Miss Moore was Mrs. Kath erlne Wendt, soprano. Contrary to the usual order where children of accomplished paints dis play little of the same artistic ten dencies, Miss Moore has happily pro fited by a close association with those who understand and appreci ate the best In music. Taking ad vantage of this somewhat rare op portunity, she has supplemented her talents with earnest, painstaking work, and has developed into an Interesting little pianist who plays with poise, good taste and musical feeling. Her technique is clean, her mtrepretation Intelligent and her rhythmic sense satisfying. The en tire program from the better com posers, was grven without notes and display of confidence which lent pleasure to the occasion. Mrs. Wendt's lyrlo soprano was heard In two groups, containing sev eral genuine favorites of American audiences. Including the sprightly Carmena" and the tenderly beauti ful "Spirit Flower" by Campbell- Tipton. A voice of much sweetness and a high range, this soloist should appear more often. Mr. Sebastian Apollo presented two advanced pupils, Miss Gertrude Boyle and Mr. Cyril Sanders, and a group from his elementary classes Thurs day evening In the same auditor ium. The latter included Marjorle Freeman, Shirley Rlebel, Jean Voss, Warren and Billy Bayliss and Tommy Jackson. Assisting were Roger Kay- ser, violinist, pupil of John R. Knight, and Miss Harriett Kayser, pianist, former pupil of Harold Anderson, now of th6 Bay City region. Allowing (as c r 1 1 1 o a certainly should) for some lack of confidence owing to first appearances before an audience, the youngest players per formed their parts very well. If some did slightly better than others. this can be attributed to longer per iods of Instruction or the advantage of a few years more of age. Miss Boyle and Mr. Sanders, In solos and duets, were naturally out standing arid are two young music ians who should continue their studies, by all means. They show much promise and will undoubtedly be heard again In this city, perhaps in Individual recitals. Mr. Kayser, possessing musical tal ent of high order, was heard in the difficult Sonata by Handel and Ro mance by Wlenlawskl, delighting those present and received with sub talned enthusiasm. Miss Kayser (ap pearing Impromptu and not at pres ent a pupil of Mr. Apollo) played "Campanella" by Liszt. At the close of the program, Mr. Apollo gave three request numbers, "Gypsy Airs," Sar asate; "Toccata," Paradles; "Fantasia Impromptu," Chopin.

Jean Conners, vice president and parliamentarian of the self-styled "good government congresa', testified Friday afternoon, as the first defense witness in the trial of John Olenn, of Ashland, former county Jailer, charged with ballot theft, that after he had testified In the Walter J Jones trial, Prof. C. P. Englehardt had given him M for "telling the truth on the stand. "'ou and I are the only ones who tell the truth," Conners swore Prof. Englehardt told him, In the law-library of the courthouse, and then gave him the $3 bill, over Conner's objection. Prof Englehardt Insisted, and accompanied his fight with hearty alap on the back, the witness said. Englehardt Instate The witness said he met Prof. Eng lehardt in County Judge Fehl'a office, when the proffer was first made, and Conner demurred, with the words "You don't owe me anything, and I dont want your money." The pro fessor was not to be denied, and told Conners he would give him the (5 at the first opportunity. The donation was made the next day. Prof. Englehardt la a bondsman for Arthur La Dleu, convicted of bal lot theft. Conners admitted he had helped Wilbur Sexton remove ballot pouchos from the vault on the night of Feb ruary 20 and that the decision of the court that day, ordering the recount did not meet with his approval. Saw Many Near Spot Conners said he saw many man I around the rear of the courthc use, 1 but could Identify any of, thera. He Insisted that it was Wesley MoKlt rlck, a stato witness, who h.is plead guilty, and not Thomas L. Brecheen, one of the defendants, aj the state maintained, who lnducert him to en ter the vault the seornd time, and steal more votes. The final state vitnesB on direct examination was Mrs. Edith R. Sex ton, mother of t'.ie Sexton brothers. Mrs. Sexton sa'd she went to the county Jail on February 28, last, to talk with Joha Glenn about her eons. "I told John Glenn, If the boys were mixed up In this ballot business, some of he older heads would pay too," Mrs. Sexton testified. "Glean then asked me to come to his olflce, and there he asked me If the boys would 'squawk and I told him I didn't know." Glenn was then quoted as saying 'They gave me the third degree at Grants Pass, and I have a weaker constitution than the boys. It nearly put me In the hospital, but I didn't squawk." Didn't Tell Al! Mrs. Sexton also said: "I didn't tell Glenn all I knew." The defense tried to break down Mrs. Sexton's damaging testimony, with a question inferring that Mrs, Sexton had. told two women acquain tances at a local dance that "George Codding will give me all the money I want for whiskey." The court order ed the query stricken, and character ized It as "unfair to the witness." Mrs. Electa A. Fehl, wife of the county judge, testified to a dinner at her home the night of the vote stealing, and named those in Fehl'a courthouse office o the evening of the ballot robbery. Mrs. Fehl testi fied that she and her husband ar rived at the "congress" about eight o'clock, and that they remained un til the close. A. L. Hugg of Rogue River, son-in-law of Walter J. Jones, second of the ballot theft defendants to be con victed, was an obdurat and evasive witness, and at one stage made a statement to the Jury, over the ob jections of Attorney Moody. All the skilled efforts of Attorney Moody could not elicit from Hug, who was present at the Fehl room after the ftieeting. or when they left. Re de clared the meeting was for the pur pose of arranging bonds for L. A. Banks, when he was Indicted for criminal libel and criminal syndicalism. Mra. Fehl Hated among those pres ent, her husband, Elsie Olsen Brown, stenographer; Suspended Sheriff: Gordon L. Schermerhorn; L. A. Banks; Amos W.

Davis Saw Danger Charles W. (Chuck) Davis, who hss entered a plea of guilty, testified that on the evening of the ballot robbery, at a confab on the basement floor, he told County Judge Fehl: "If you fellows are figuring on stealing the ballots, you will get tn crouDie." Davis said Fehl made no reply, and that he gave the same warning to the Sexton brothers. Davis admitted that he tried to pry open one of the vault windows with a crow-bar, which he identi fied, but failed. He said that aftr the vault window was smashed he went to Estea pool hall and played cards. About 9:20 p. m. Davla testified he returned to the courthouse, and passed Schermerhorn near the Park grocery, and said "hello." When he arrived at the court house, he mot Newton C. Chaney and Fehl talkine In front of the auditorium. After a rew minutes, he strolled srour.d the courthouse, and saw Jones, and ask. ed him "how things were going." He then walked around the courthouse wiwi joe Daniels and aw Claude Ward, "and a man by the name of Stevens" standing at the northwest corner. He then -returned to where Fehl and others were standing, and that all took out their watches, and compared time, and It was "five mln utes to ten." Davis said about this time Jones came up, called Fehl to one side, and snia: "Everything is O. K. now," and Fehl replied, "mum's the word."
