New York, Nov. 22.-Hannah Grahm,
the woman who caused the arrest of
EnricO Caruso, on a charge of annoy
ing and mistreating her in the monkey
house in Central Park last Friday, may
appear i'm the police court tomorrow to
press the charge against him. Just
before the court adjourned tonight,
Deputy Police Commissioner Mathot.
who is conducting the prosecution.
said that he had little more evidence to
offer. There was only one witness for
the prosecution yet to be heard. he
said, and when that witness appeared.
he would require less than ten minutes
to complete his case.
Despite the efforts of the police. it
had been found impossible to present
witnesses today. but he felt safe in as
suring the court that the person to
whom he referred would be in court
tomorrow. The report that the witr ess
TO appear was the missing Hannah
Hanna Graham, spread.
Hannah Graham dropped out of
sight when she left the police station
where she had preferred the charge
against CarusO last Friday afternoon.
and witnesses for the prosecution tes-
titled that the utmost end4avors had
been made to find her. but without
avail. Should she appear she would
furnish a sensation far greater than
any which has marked the two days
hearing in the Yorkville police court
Today was nor without sensations.
When the court adjourned last night.
Caruso was on the stand. and his ex-
amina tion was resumed when the case
was taken up today. Deputy Police
Commissioner Mathot questioned the
defendant closely concerning the cir

country under the direction OF Hen
riech Conreid. Caruso acknowledged
that he was in New York in 1904. and
that on February 4th of that year he
sang in "Parsifal' at the Metropolitan
opera house.

closely over her face stepped into the
room.
"Caruso. look upon this woman, /"
said the deputy police commissioner.
as the woman raised her veil and re-
vealed her features. Ibid you ever see
her before?"
The defendant moved uneasily. hes
itated. and then replied mo. / have
never seen her.
did you not. on the afternoon of
February 4th. 1904. during the second
act of Parsifal. stand behind this wo-
man in the Metropolitan opera house.
and subject her to the same indigni-
ties to which il is charged Hannah
Graham was subjected at the Central
Park monkey house?"
'I did not" replied the witness. "I
never saw the woman before so far as
i can remember"
SIS it not true that on that after
noon not only this woman but other
woman were the victims of indecent
actions on your part?' persisted Mr..
Mathot. Caruso's counsel broke in
with a vigorous objection which was
sustained 1t was reported in the
court room that the woman in white
was a member of the corus of the
Metropolitan opera company.
On of the diverting features of the
day was the appearance for the de-

American consul at Madrid. DIR. Den
