Enrico Caruso; tho Metropolitan Opers
House tenor, spent three more hours yester-
day afternoon in the Yorkville police court,
and he viii be obliged 10 undergo another
ordeal this morning. Third Deputy Police
Commissioner Mathot announced near the
close Of the hearing that he had received
information which led him to believe that
Mrs. Hannah K. Graham at whose in
stance Csruso was arrested, might be in
court in the morning, and Magistrate Baker
granted an adjournment.
A high police Official said last night that
they were certain they had found the woman
who caused Caruso's arrest. She is q menu
Der Of a respectable family. he said, and had
been kept from appearing by their wishes.
Two men we're sent out from Police Head
quarters late yesterday afternoon with a
subpoena. They had instructions to exert
every effort 10 serve the subpoena before
morning and then accompany the woman
to court. The police Official refused to dis
CLOSE the name OF the woman.
Two women who were willing to testify
that Caruso had annoyed them in the same
way that he is charged with having an
noyed other women in the monkey house
of the Central Park ZOO appeared at yester-
days hearing. The evidence Of the two
women was ruled out by the Magistrate.
Caruso, on the other hand, produced q
witness in the person Of Adolphe Danziger.
a writer and former United States Vice
Consul at Madrid, who declared that he wee
watching the tenor in the monkey house
on November 10 and saw him do none Of
the things with " which he is charged.
II anything, the. crowd that iocked to
the Municipal Court Building Yesterday
was larger than the one which turned out
at the first hearing. There was a stronger
force Of policemen on duty and greater pre-
cautions were taken TO bar persons who
had no business in the court room, but the !
place was packed. There were mors
women in the crowd than on Wednesday
and they struggled with the men for want
age points where they could hear every
detail OF the testimony.
The street outside was filed with a crowd
OF 500 persons when the tenor drove up
in an electric cal in company with Herr
Conried, his manager, and the Italian
contingent was on hand with its shouts OF
h"Bravo, Bravo, Caruso!' The accused
singer paused half way up the court house
steps, and raising his silk hat with a hourt'
ish acknowledged the greeting. At the
same time there were derisive shouts from
others in the crowd.
The defendant l0okad nala hut ha u,o.ntb
as nervous as on his first appearances before
the Magistrate, and when informed that he
would rave to wait for an hour or so until
several other police cases had been disposed
Of he called for a chair, and settled back in
it comfortably.
Caruso was the first witness called,
Deputy Commissioners Mathot taking him
up on cross examination.
Were you present at any performance
of 'Parsifal in the Metropolitan Opera
House, asked the Deputy Commissioner.
Il object!' shouted ex-Judge Ditten-
hoefer, Caruso's leading counsel. Judge
Dittenhoefer went on to say that the casOs
before the Magistrate had to do only with
occurrences in the monkey house on No.
vember 10.
But i~nterposed the representative OF
the Police Department, "the defendant testi-s
fed on Wednesday that he had never beeu5
guilty Of any improperly OF the sort charged
and l am laying a foundation for impeachA
ment Of the testimony"
SIS it not a fact" continued Deputy
Mathot, that you were present at q per-,
Torrance Of 'Parsifal' in the Metropolitans
Opera House on February 4, l9Oap'
Il don't remember; l am not prepared
to say" answered Caruso through the in-'
terpreter.
just then the door Of a private roou8
behind the Magistrate opened. -Brin&
her out, said Mathot, and there was q
great commotion in the audience.
A woman OF about medium height, we'll
formed, with dark hair and eyes and ap-,
parently about 2s years old, appeared In.
the doorway. accompanied by a blond
young man, wearing a light covert coat.
The woman wore q white silk waist, q gray
skirt OF rough material and a small black
hat trimmed with green velvet. Her face
was partly concealed by . heavy white
veil.
Caruso; when the girl entered: was lean
ing on the desk in front Of tho Magistrate.
Look at that lady said Deputy Com
missioner Mathot.
Caruso's eyes met hers squarely a al.
advanced to within q few feet OF him. She
started to lift her veil, but was stopped
by Mathot.
Il do not know her" said Caruso.
is it not q fact, . asked the Deputy Com
missioner, that at about the beginning
OF the second act Of 'Parsifal' on the after
o OF February 4 this lady was standing
downstairs in the rear OF the Metropolitan
Opera House and you came to her and
stood behind her and did what you are
accused OF doing in other cases."
NO" answered the tenor.
How many strumpets can you bring
here?" added Judge Dittenhoefsr, and then
the Deputy Commissions got angry. He
declared that Dittenhoefer had no right
TO apply any such name to any Of the wit
nesses. and the Judge Immediately dis
claimed any intention Of applying the name
to any witness that had appeared. He
