dict Shocks Wife.


New York, Nov. 26.-Sensational
prosecutions beside which the fining
of Caruso will appear insignificant are
promised against Washers in Central
park Men who are reputed to be
worth millions are expected to be
dragged into police court and forced
to stand trial on charges similar to
that which brought woe to Caruso.
The names of prospective defend
ants are carefully suppressed by the
authorities, but it is announced the
publicity given the Caruso case
brought forth complaints that had been
undreamed of.
II have spent much time in Central
park trying to get some of these fell
lows" said Deputy Police Commission
er Mathot, who prosecuted Caruso.
I'VE have other complaints against
men like Caruso. Some of them are
a great deal more important than Ca
russo"
Caruso May Face Perjury Charge.
Meanwhile the world famous tenor,
who was fined $40 as masher for an
noying woman in the Central park
monkey house, will fight the courts de-
cree and retain his job in the Metro
politan Opera company. If he persists
in appealing his case, it is intimated
he may be accused of perjury over the
evidence he gave at his trial.
Aren't you afraid society women
will boycott grand opera if Caruso is
retained?" was asked to-day of man
closely associated with the manage
ment of the Metropolitan.
NO" he answered. THE fact of
the fine will not affect appreciation for
the artist. 1t is the voice, not the man,
that grand opera patrons are interest
ed in"
Il concur entirely in all that Mr.. Ca
ruso's counsel says" declared Mr.. Con-
ried. Il have not even contemplated
making any change in the arrange
ment for next week as consequence
of the verdict Nothing short of the
absolute inability of Mr.. Caruso to sing
will prevent his appearing, as an
nounced, next Wednesday, as Rodolfo
In La Boheme.'"
Refuses to Pay Fine.
Caruso's fine was not paid during
the day. One of his attorneys went to
court to pay it under protest, but be-
fore the money was passed Caruso's
senior counsel rushed into the court
room and halted the proceeding. A
consultation between counsel and the
court followed, and it was agreed to
permit the matter to go over until
Monday Meantime Caruso has been
paroled in the custody of his counsel.
Carusos counsel reiterated the an
nouncement that an appeal Will be
taken.
Il saw Mr.. Caruso at his hotel" said
The attorney, land had him sign an ap-
plication for an appeal, which will be
asked for Immediately of one of the
Judges of the court of general sessions.
1t is for one of them to sign the paper
and allow or disallow the application
for an appeal.
"Mr. Caruso felt that Magistrate
Baker had treated him very fairly dur
Ing the hearing, and that his character
was being fully INDICATED. 1t was
more than surprise, to him when he
heard that the court found him guilty.
The shock was most terrible to Caruso,
who is highly sensitive man, partic-
ularly as he had firmly believed the
testimony clearly exonorated him."
Dislikes Mathot's Methods.
Dissatisfaction was also expressed
by the attorney with the manner in
which Deputy Police Commissioner
Mathot had insisted on the mtroduc.
ton of evidence which the counsel for
Caruso asserted was not proper matter
to come before the court and which he
said was introduced for theatrical ef-
feet and to prejudice the public against
the defendant.
1t is expected that the appeal in the
case will be argued Monday. Caruso's
counsel asked for full transcript of
the police court proceedings for use
In connection with the appeal.
