The strain of excitement attending
the loss of her money had been too
much for her. When she stood before
Judge Conlan to swear to the COM
plant she could not speak above a
whisper. The same captivating smile
that had sunk deep into the hearts of
her audiences here, was still there. 1t
was literally displayed in Judge Con-
lans court to a large audience of Of
ficials and attaches of the Hall of
Justice, who came in to get a glance
of one of the great songbirdS of the
world.
The two complaints sworn to by the
fair soingstress, charged Uriburu with
having failed to remit the sum of 1000
francs on February 21, and 2000 francs
on March q. to her dressmaker. Sorello

one day likely to be ruler over that
country. Attached to this draft was

This letter and draft he is reported to
have fiourished before Tetrazzini and
others with whom he wanted to obtain
financial standing.
He also had in his possession an un-
signed draft in duplicate for $1,000
francs. 1t was dated San Francisco,
April 1s, 1905. Two complimentary
tickets to the California Jockey Club
were conspicuous in his effects.
There was also a deposit tag for
S4497 80 in the Swiss American Bank,
which he had deposited there to Tet-
razzini's credit. This amount was
found to be in the bank intact.
Through an interpreter Tetrazzini
said:
I met Uriburu ten years ago in Buenos
Ayres. l was singing there and he came on
the stage to make my acquaintance. l had
trouble with my impressarfos and Uriburu
came to my rescue and helped me out We

When asked whether, as Uriburu
had stated, 1t was a plot raised by the
tenor, Bazelli, to GUST Uriburu from
the favors of the Tivoli star, Tetraz-
zini burst into f1ts.of laughter. Point
ing her finger at Bazelli. who was
sitting in the opposite corner Of the
room, she said:
isn't that ridiculous? suppose,
perhaps, that Uriburu will now claim
that Bazelli signed the fake bank re-
ceipts that he (Uriburu) gave me-"
Uriburu looked serious yesterday. so
soon as he learned that Tetrazzini had
sworn out the warrants charging him
with embezzlement. He presented a.
woe-begone expression. He said he
wanted to see a lawyer. His friend
e. c. Cullen, who knew him in Buenos

and acted as his interpreter. Uriburu
