TESTIFIES AGAINST
HIS ACCOMPLICE
James Crowhurst, Convict,
Narrates How Percy Pemb
roke Committed Crime
STANLEY IS MISSING
OAKLAND. Feb. 7. — James Crow
hurst, formerly an associate. of Percy
Pembroke, but now serving a seven
year sentence in Folsom for highway
robberj r , testified against Pembroke to
day at the latter's trial for holding up
and robbing Edward Stanley in East
Oakland in October, 1904. The witness
proved very reluctant, to tell what he
knew about the alleged crime of Pem
broke, but admitted finally that in the
latter part of 1904 he and young Pem
broke robbed a man in East Oakland.
Crowhurst was unable to remember
the time definitely. He said that Pem
broke used a gun on the occasion of
the holdup to intimidate the victim.
Crowhurst's apparent disinclination
to testify against his former comrade is
attributed to his fear of the other con
victs at Folsom, it being an unwritten
law among criminals that one of their
number must not give damaging evi
dence against another. The . District
Attorney stated to the court that he
would show by other evidence that the
holdup Crowhust had testified to was
the one for which Pembroke was on
triaj.
One of the sensations In the case to
day was the failure of the prosecution
to locate the prosecuting witness, Ed
ward Stanley, a barber, who at the time
he was robbed lived In East Oakland.'
Detective Ingersoll of the District At
torney's office testified that he had
searched for Stanley and had learned
that he went East shortly after the
preliminary examination of Pembroke,
when the latter was held to answer to
the Superior Court a number of months
ago.
The prosecution was greatly nettled
at finding Stanley had disappeared. It
managed, however, to introduce in evi
dence the testimony given by Stanley
at the preliminary examination.
Deputj' District Attorney Hynes
started to try the case alone, but Dis
trict Attorney Brown canie this aft
ernoon, to assist.
ACQUIRES SITE FOR
PIER STATION
OAKLAND. Feb. 7.— The Southern
Pacific Company has purchased a block
of land west of Frultvale avenue and
near its main line 'tracks as the site
for a power station and car barns for
the local electric system that is -to be
installed. " v."
This move, according to Harry Hol
comb. president of the Holcomb Realty
Company, who made the sale, indicates
that the ; company will commence .work
at once. on its electric system, '. which
•will supplant the steam roads, both in
Oakland and in Alameda. The Southern
Pacific Company has made public its
plans with regard to the Alameda
change. The point selected for this
power station is at the Frultvale end
of the- local Seventh street lines' and
on the horseshoe loop into Alameda.
Many reports have been circulated
concerning the company's projects in
this city, not only as to-the extension
of its local service through central
Oakland paralleling the [ Key Route.
Now comes the story that the Southern
Pacific Company purposes to build an
electric road from Oakland to San Jose.
The Garden City is also the objective
point of the Key Route.
Holcomb said that the Southern, v Pa
ciflc Company would commence at once
to construct its power plant and car
houses on the Fruitvale site.

H. A, Wight, arrested in Seattle in
connection with -the murder in San

through Cook's tourist agency, Oak
land. Most of the baggage belongs to
Wight. He mailed a letter to Young
at the dock, care of general delivery.
He le{t Young's ticket at the dock of
fice. Wight wishes to return."
It has been ascertained that Wight's
defense is an alibi. Whether this can
be proved will not be ascertained until
the return of the prisoner. . ;. ;
Grant Middleton, the other suspect
held at the Bush street station,", gave
out a theory of the murder, yesterday.
He blames two men he saw; sitting, in
the hallway of the Ferry house a few
hours before it took place. He • says:
"These men looked bad. They: were or
dered : out of the house by Mrs.. Miles,
but refused to go. Mrs. Miles Is the

Girl Pianist Plays
With Great Art
James Crawford
When . 14-year-old Cecil Cowles . at
tains full womanhood she may be a
great pianoforte \u25a0 virtuoso. . That all
depends upon her physical growth and
development of ' manual strength. She
proved abundant possession of all the
other " essentials last evening at Lyric
Hall by her recital of a programme
that demanded utmost versatility of
execution, Chopin predominating in the
selections.. But here it is:
Prelude, F sharp, op. 12. No. 13; Prelude. C
sharp minor, op. 12, No. 10; Prelude. A major,
op. 12. No. 7; Prelude, B flat minor, op. No. 16
(Chopin).
Aufschwnn*. op. 13, No. 2; Warum? op. 12.
No." 3' (Schumann).
Waltz, E minor posthumous (Chopin).
Etude, F i minor, op. 25, No. 2; Hondo Brll
lante, E flat (Chopin).
Vogel als Prophet, op. S2. No. T (Schumann).
Fnsrue, G minor, op. 5. No. 3 (Rhelntwrger).
.\u25a0-; Valse <le Concert, op. S-s (Moszkowskl).
Valse . Caprice (Cecil Cowlea).
' Llebestraum, A flat; Hungarian Rhapsody No.
S (Liszt).
By her playing of the first Chopin
grouft the child conveyed an impression
of maturity In every requirement ex
cept that of digital power, which was
never removed throughout the recital.
Her ease of technical display in the
most difficult numbers was really won
derful, but below and beyond mere me
chanical charm was the intelligence re
flected by her reading. She grasped the
composer's meaning and interpreted It
with tutorly skill.
She has been pronounced a genius by
more than one erudite musician, and
in some respects she corroborated their
opinion.' Any* youngster who has ordi
nary music sense can be taught to play
the piano with more or less technical
correctness, but youngsters who can
fathom the composer's soul while they
are learning to play his - composition
are sufficiently rare to be accredited
with genius. Little Miss Cowles does
even more than that. In a few In
stances last evening she improvised to
illuminate the theme that she was
treating. , And she did it unconsciously
—I am sure of that, for her feelings
were reflected by her face. If she
is a genius It is this psychological
penetration that makes her one. In a
Chopin number — it was the difficult
etude, I think — she grasped where the
author had seemingly groped for
thought "expression. ,'.
It was the first public interpretation
in San Francisco of the Chopin rondo,
and I took it that the reading of the
beautiful harmonic progressions was
entirely her own, for her brilliant exe
cution alone did not'provoke her teach
er and mentor to applaud so -"wildly.
Her own composition was judiciously
programmed, as it immediately fol
lowed the ; Moskowskl valse and did
not gain* in effectiveness by the on
portunity thus afforded for close com
parison. Maybe It was j not entirely
unkind to induce her to play a rag-time
bit, also of her own creation, for the
wide variety of her intellectual re
sources was demonstrated uy »...
Whether she ever acquires the mus
cular equipment to give desired effect
to her dynamic efforts or, not. she will
always be an exceptional pianist and a
credit to' Mr. Hugo Mansfeldt, who fs
responsible for whatever nature has
failed to do In making her the wonder
that she Is.
GIORGI FAILS' TO CHARM
There were good spots in the. per
formance of "La Traviata" at. the Cen
tral Theater last evening, but the work
suffered by inevitable contrast with
that^of. singers 'in the principal roles
who were so recently, in ' grand opera in
San | Francisco' that ', the memory of them
still* furnishes* standards by \ which oth-/
ers'must be : measured.* \u25a0 -_..
. Giorgi \u25a0 and 1 Salvaneschi , sinned vocal
ly against all the legends of the opera.
Giorgi could not or did not sing the
cadenzas with which the soprano score
is so plentifully garnished either with
delicacy, clearness or good phrasing.
Salvaneschl is not a great tenor, and
that comprehends all the possibilities
of failure for him as Alfredo,
In the second act; in her duet with
Sclfoni, Giorgi got a good share of ap
plause. She worked hard and con
scientiously; but. unavalllngly, for the
simple reason that she could not sing
that kind of music acceptably. Sclfoni
made a very fair Gerraont. In the cast
were also Fernanda Franceschinl, Nerl
and VlzzardelH in the minor parts..
The • violence of the . orchestra
drowned the voices lij the ensemble
work in the banqueting scene. '

gagement to Harry Black
SOCIETY SAYS IT'S SO
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
NEW YORK. Feb. 7.— Mrs. Theres*
Oelrichs would ,not confirm or deny
today the report of her engagement to
Harry Black.* It has been persistent
ly-rumored in society that the an
nouncement of the engagement wouM
be made soon after the close of the
period of mourning for Mrs. Oelrichs
husband. Hermann Oelrichs, and tnai
the wedding would follow within a
short time.
"I do not see that there Is any oc
casion to say anything." Mrs. Oelrichs
said. "It is absurd to circulate sucrt
reports. It Is a matter of perfect iyA
difference to me." " <^
"Then do you wish to deny that you
are engaged or that the engagement
is to be announced?"
"I do not wish to have anything to
say about It." was the answer. "It i*
a matter, as I said, of Indifference to
me."
Black, who is the divorced husband
of a daughter of skyscraper Millionaire
Fuller, is a man of large means, al
though hi 3 fortune is not as large as
that which Mrs. Oelrichs lnherite.l
from her father. Senator Fair of Cali
fornia.
