 He Does Not Recognize Her. New York, Nov 22.-Hannah Gra- ham, the woman who caused the arrest Iof Enrico Caruso, the famous Italian tenor, on charge of annoying and Imistreating her in the monkey house in Central park last Friday, may ap- pear in police court tomorrow to press the charge against him. Just before court adjourned tonight, at the end of the second days hearing of the charge against the singer, Deputy Police Com missioner Mather, who is conducting the case for the prosecution, said there was only one witness for the prosecu- ton, and when that witness appeared he would require less than ten minutes to complete his case.
 Despite the most diligent efforts upon the part of the police, it had been found impossible to present the witness to- day. A report that the witness was the missing Hannah Graham quickly spread.
 Hannah Graham dropped out of sight when she left the police station five minutes after she had preferred the charges against Caruso last Friday. To-day was not without happenings of sensational nature. When court adjourned last night Caruso himself was on the stand, and his examination was resumed when the case was taken i up to-day, Deputy Police Commission CT Mather began to question the defend ant very closely concerning his past life, and particularly with reference to the past four years, when he has ap- peared in this country under the direc- ton of Heinrich Conreid. Caruso ac- knowledged that he was in New York in 1904, and that on February of that year he sang in "Parsifal' at the Met ropolitan Opera house. It was at this point that the real sensation of the day came. The doors directly behind the magistrates bench swung open and a handsome woman, garBed entirely in white and with white veil drawn close over her face, stepped into the room.
 "Caruso, look upon this woman" said | the deputy police commissioner, as the woman raised the veil and revealed her features. "Did you ever see her before?"
 The defendant moved uneasily, hes itated and then replied: NO, I have never seen her"
 Did you not, on the afternoon of February 4, 1904, during the second act of 'Parsifal' stand behind this woman in the Metropolitan Opera house and subject her to exactly the same indig- mites to which it is charged Hannah Graham was subjected at the Central park monkey house?'
 T did not, replied the witness hotly. q never saw the woman before, as far as can remember"
 "Is it not true that on that afternoon not only this woman, but other women, were the victims of most indecent ac- tions upon your part?" persisted MT. Mather.
 Before Caruso could reply his counsel broke in with vigorous objection. Such proceeding was unprecedented and unwarranted, he declared. His ob- jeotion was sustained.
 One of the diverting features of the day was the appearance, as a witness for the defense, of pr. Adolph Denziger, former American consul at Madrid. Dr.. Denziger testified that he was in the monkey house at Central park during Caruso's visit there last Friday, and that he observed no improper action upon the singers part. q volunteered to assist MT. Caruso in exactly the same way that volunteered to assist Theodore Roosevelt to become presi- dent of the United States" said Dr. Denziger.
 One of the persons to meet Caruso as he left court to-day was handsome young woman, who presented him a bouquet of violets. She was accompa- nied by young man who said he was her brother
 Caruso was cheered heartily as he left the court, though some misses mingled with the cheers.
