policeman, and you left the auto. the wom-
an refusing to make complaint
Mr.. Dittenhoefer protested angrily at the
question.
Mr.. Mathot,'' he said, us too good a
lawyer to ask such a question in good
faith, and he Is only asking 1t for the pur-
pose of getting 1t in the newspapers and
for the purpose of annoying my client"
DO you object to the question:" asked
Magistrate Baker, and when Mr.. Often
hoefer said that he did most vigorously,
the objection was sustained.
LAS Mr.. Mathot knew 1t would be-" re-
marked Mr.. Dittenhoefer, and Caruso left
the stand.
Geography Of the Monkey House.
When Caruso had finished Magistrate
Baker then turned to the lawyers of both
sides and said that he was not quite clear
as to the interior arrangement of the mon
key house.
II have never been in the monkey house"
said Mr.. Sperling. II wouldn't dare go
there with a man like Game around.
you've got a high opinion of yourself,
haven't you Mr.. Sperling?" remarked Mr..
Mathot sarcastically.
Judge Ditteahoefer said that he, too, was
unfamiliar with the monkey house, but
Mr.. Mathot was able to give the court a
very vivid word picture, explaining that the
cages were in the center and could be cir
cled by the spectators.
Mr.. Mathot also drew a map of the mon
key house. and policeman Miles j. Cav
anaugh of the Arsenel station was put on
the stand to verify it. The map was then
put in evidence.
Judge Dittenhoefer then started to sum
up for the defense He spoke with a dra-
matte tone and with many gestures.
This is police-made case. The re-
markeble fact that stands out is that they
have failed to produce here Hannah
Graham or any other woman in the mon
key house on that day. l think that it has
never happened that the police have held
man on a charge as grave as this with
out producing the proper witnesses.
There is absolutely no excuse for this.
They have had over ten days. and the pros
ecution has had practically the entire police
force at it's back. What is the natural
superstition? Either that no such incident
ever took place or that If the woman were
brought into court and submitted to a
cross-examination she would be found to be
a stool-pigeon of Gaines We have had
cies searching for this mysterious woman,
but We have found no trace of her. Does
it not carry out my theory that I stated at
the beginning of the case that this is a
police-made case?
Let me state a sucpositious instance.
Suppose, your honor, any high tone man
in this city goes into the monkey house
and a woman has got to get near him in
9th nd M Ike q
and Game comes up and says, You're un-
der arrest what does that distinguished
gentleman do?
For Gods sake. don't arrest me- he
says. Don't let this get into the news
papers, and Game says to him: You have
money; hire lawyer to defend you."
The Charge in Detail.
Judge Dittenhoefer paused for a moment
and then exclaimed: Its the monkey
house. Game and his confederates.
Let us examine the charge in detail.
The facilities in the monkey house for this
kind of an arrest are unique. 1t needs only
Game and a woman confederate. I wish
/ could show you some of the letters got
from people In Rochester this morning.
when Caine arrested Caruso he didn't
know he was Caruso, and didn't know
that his prisoner couldn't speak English.
If Caruso could have spoken English he
would have said the same thing as that dis
tinguished gentleman said In my hypo-
thetical case.
What is the charge as It first appeared
on the blotter and shown In the newspapers
Hannah Graham and child annoyed in
the monkey house by Caruso.' Why was
the transcription of that blotter not pro-
duced in court? My friend wisely objected
to the Introduction of the blotter as evil
dence. That was the only charge made at
first. We tried hard to get that blotter.
when they found that Mrs. Hannah
Graham could not be produced in court and
could not stand a REORGANIZATION, we
then find for the first time, and in the
newspapers, the incident Of the two small
girls. Let us get at the time when Caruso
went to the monkey house. 1t Is in evil
dence, and it is uncontradicted, that Caruso
left the Hotel Savoy at 4:2O o'clock. Caruso
and Barthelemy swear to it, Danzinger
swears that he met Caruso in East SD
street at 4:30 o'clock and that he saw him
go into the monkey house a few minutes
later. That would have Caruso going into
the monkey house at Abs O'Clock. When
was he arrested. Caine says that the
arsenal clerk registered $50.
Police Made Up Case.
"Caruso was not In the monkey house
more than twelve or thirteen minutes be-
fore he was arrested. Caruso, Danzinger
and Barthelemy all proved this to be fact,
and our witnesses are unimpeached. Caine
says that he stood behind one woman be-
tween ten and fifteen minutes Isn't that
statement absolutely and wickedly false?
Does 1t not show a police made-up case?
Il suppose the Argus-eyed police force has
looked well into the past record Of Game.
Game testified at first to four distinct Incl
dents, but his memory-for liars memory
usually fails-was detective when he came
to actually telling about them. Then Ne
mentioned five Incidents"
Mr.. Dittenhoefer never referred to the
first instance of the two women who were
accompanied by man.
mo matter" he said, "how depraved
would Caruso insult women who had gen.
tleman with them? Would he have taken
the risk Of having his head blown OF? It's
preposterous. Did the woman complain?
No. Game himself admits that.
Now ia the next instance Of the two
small girls wearing short dresses. If Game
saw that Caruso was wickedly inclined, IL
he saw that he was making improper sug-
gestions, what a brute he must have been
to allow Caruso to go up to two small girls
and endeavor to pollute them. Game should
be elected from the police force for such an
act and ostracised from society. No efforts
to get Caruso good could justify that.
Your honor, 1t seems to me that this very
fact proves the absolute untruth OF Gaines
entire statement. / want to do Game this
justice. ! want to say that I don't believe
that he saw CaruscA approach either the
two women or the two girls. 1t is far more
to Gaines credit to suppose this.
