A report that the witness referred to

spread through the building. Hannah

left the police station FIVE minutes after

New Woman Appears.
When court adjourned last night. ca
russo himself was on the stand and his
examination was resumed when the case
was taken up to-day. Deputy Police Com
missioner Mathot began to question the
defendant closely concerning his past NE
ana particularly with reference to the
past four years. when he has appeared
I'm this country under the direction OF
Heinrich COnreid. Caruso Acknowledged
that he was in New York in 1904 and that
on February 4th OF that wear he sang
in "Parisifal" at the Metropolitan Opera
House. 1t was at this point that the
real sensation OF the day came The
windows directly behind the magistrates
bench swung open. and a handsome vo-
man. CARRIED entirely in white and with
a white veil drawn closely over her face,
stepped into room.

the deputy police commissioner. as the
woman raised the veil and revealed her
features. Did you ever see her be-
fore?''
The defendant moved uneasily. hesi-
tated. and then replied. Ct have never
seen her"
Did you not on the afternoon OF Feb
ruary (. 1904. during the second act Of
'Parsifal." stand behind this woman IN
the Metropolitan Opera House and subject
her 10 exactly the same indignities to
which IL is charged Hannah Graham was

not only this woman but other women
were the victims OF most indecent actions
upon your part?" persisted Mr.. Mathot
Before CaTuso could reply. his counsel
broke in with q vigorous objection Such
a proceeding was unprecedented and IN
warranted. he declared. Caruso was not
on trial for anything that happened in
1901. and u was manifested unfair 20
bring into the case unnamed women. His
objection was sustained.
One OF the diverting features OF the
day was the appearance as witness for
the defense Of DR.. Adolph Denziger. former
American consul at Madrid. DIT Denziger
testified he was in the monkey house at
Central Park during Caruso's visit there
last Friday. and that he observed no i'm
proper action upon the singers part. He
declared that he had voluntarily come for

cause he knew him personally. knew him

greatest tenor OF this or any other time.
and benefactor Of humanity. He desired

but for his great career.
One OF the persons to meet Caruso as
he left the courtroom was "a handsome
young woman who presented him with a
bouquet OF violets. She was accompanied
BY young man who said he was her
brother. They hurried away IN their au-

carriage and started for his hotel.
