REFUSES TO PAY FINE

Bail Bond Is Renewed-Singer De-

Night as Pharmaceutical Involved
in Scandal.
New York, Nov. 27-Judge O'Sulli-
van, in the court of general sessions
Monday, signed an order granting a
right to appeal from the decision of a
police magistrate in the case of Enrico
Caruso, the Italian opera singer, who
was found guilty in the municipal
court of insulting women in the mon
key house at Central park and fined
$40.
Refuse to Pay Fine.
Attorneys for Caruso expect to get
the appeal up for argument inside of
three weeks. The original intention
was to pay Caruso's fine of SO under
protest, but after comforting with Dis
trict Attorney Jerome, eX-Judge Dit
tenhoefer said he had changed his de-
cision about paying Caruso's fine. He
said he feared that his client might
lose some of his rights even if the fine
were paid under protest. The bail
bond will be renewed.
The conversation with Mr.. Jerome
did not result in the fixing of any date
for the argument on the motion for a
trial. The district attorney has ten
days granted him by law in which to
act after the expiration of the ten
days which the law grants Magistrate
Baker, so 20 days may elapse before
the case comes up for argument to fix
the date of the rehearing.
Caruso Says Trial INDICATED Him.
Caruso, in an interview published
Monday regarding the question of
whether he will sing Wednesday night
as planned, is quoted as saying: Il
positively will sing on Wednesday
night. I have had no intention of
avoiding my opening night, which I
believe will show that my trial vindi-
Gated me, Notwithstanding the extraor-
binary verdict Of the court"
Caruso's friends also said he would
surely sing if his voice was in condi.
ton.
Lies, all lies! l did not abduct the
girl If there was any elopement,
she eloped with me-" cried Alessandro
Ronci, tenor of the Manhattan Opera
House company, from his apartments
in the Hotel Astor.
ct am Tho r,,b1;o Will
vindicate me. The monkey house
story is untrue, I swear it ten thou
sand times" shrieks Caruso, tenor of
the Metropolitan Opero House, at the
Hotel Savoy.
Two italian Tenors Accused.
New York is in the throes of
double dispute, which is taking on
character almost general in it's appli-
cation to Italian tenors.
Bonci, leading tenor of Oscar Ham
merstein's new grand opera house.
and a married man, has been dra eyed
into the scandal limeEght by the story
of the abduction of wealthy girl
from Florence some time ago. He
walls that the charge has been
trumped up by the friends of Caruso
TO turn the tide of public censure
upon him. He admits that the girl fell
in love with and followed him, but
asks, What was I to do?"
1T is the fate of the artist who wins
fame he explains. Bonci produces
mis- wife and children to prove his
purity.
! "Admitting the lesser CHARGE" he
said, "even say I did elope with the
girl or she with me, then I would not
be guilty of an act like that contribu-
ted to Caruso. 1t was not case for
the police. 1t is nothing that could
affect my social standing in America:
I am convinced"
When Bonci returned from Switzer-
land, where he and the girl, it is al
legged, passed a month, he was given a
great reception. This, he says, should
convince America that his act was no;
reprehensible.
