Hannah Graham the Complaining
Witness Will Appear in
Court.
STATES EVIDENCE ALL IN
During the Trial the Doors Behind
the Magistrate Swung Open and
Woman with White Veil
Stepped in Court.

NEW YORK, Nov 22.-Today was
not without sensation in the Enrico
Caruso case. Caruso was still on
the stand when court adjourned last
night and when court convened to-
day. Deputy Commissioner Mathot
questioned the defendant closely re-
garding the four years in which he
has appeared in this country. Caruso
| acknowledged being in this country
In 1904 and that he sang in Parsifal
on February 4. 1t was at this point
that the sensation came. The doors
directly behind the magistrates bench
swung open and a woman In white
with a white veil drawn closely over
her face stepped into the court room.
"Caruso, look upon this woman" said
Deputy Mathot, as the woman raised
her veil and revealed her features.
Deputy Police Commissioner Ma
thot who Is conducting the prosecu-
ton said that he had but little more
evidence to offer. There was only one
witness for the prosecution yet to be
heard, he said, and when that wit
ness appeared he would require less
than ten minutes to complete his case.
He said that despite the efforts of
the police, it had been impossible to
present this witness today, but he
felt safe in assuring the court that
the person to whom he referred would
be in court tomorrow. A report re-
ferred to that witness referred to was
missing, and Hannah Graham ap-
peared. She dropped out Of sight
when she left the police station last
Friday and witnesses for the prose-
cution testified that the utmost en-
deavours had been made to find her
without avail. Should she appear she
would furnish a sensation far great
er than that which has marked the
two days hearing.
When the woman in white entered,
the deputy police commissioner said
to Caruso: 'Did you ever see her be-
fore?" The defendant moved uneas-
lily and then replied: mo, have new
en- seen her"
did you not on the afternoon of
February 4, during the second act of
Parsifal, stand behind this woman in
the Metropolitan opera house and
subject her to exactly the same in
dignities which 1t is charged that Han
nah Graham was subjected to in the
monkey house%
Il didn't" replied Caruso, hotly. II
never saw that woman before so far
as can remember"
"Is 1t not true that on that after
noon, not only this woman but other
women, were victims of much inde-
cent actions on your part?" persisted
Mathot.
Caruso's counsel broke In with Wig
orous objections, which were sus-
tained. It was reported in the court
room that the woman in white was
a member of the chorus of the Metro
politan opera company. One of the
diverting features Of the day was the
appearance of DR.. Adolf Densiger,

former American consul at Madrid.
Densiger testified that he was In the
monkey house during Caruso's visit
there Friday and noticed nothing im-
proper in Carusos actions. He de-
clared that he testified voluntarily,
because he knew the singer PERSONAL
ly and knew him to be gentleman.
Densiger testified that he was stand
ing within ten feet Of Caruso and 1t
would have been a physical impossi-
bility for him to have acted toward
the woman as described by Detective
Cain. Director Conreid of the Metro
politan company, described Caruso's
manners much as did Mr.. Densiger.

notg asked Mathot.
1T would be more kind to speak Of
1t as a habit" replied Conreid.
Several other witnesses testified as
to Caruso's inability to speak Eng
lish, and the hearing was then post
poned until next Monday.
