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.

C. 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. Walker, former deputy sher
iff; Claude Ward, brother-in-law of
Banks; Walter J. Jones; Arthur La
Dleu, and others. There was a general
movement tn and out of the office,
witnesses testified.
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

then walked around the courthouse

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

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."
Under cross examination Davis de-
niea, mat he had told Attorney Bn
