CARUSO GOES ON THE STAND
A Big Crowd Early on Hand to
Hear Tenor Testify.

Enrico Caruso, the singer, testified in the
County Court, Brooklyn, yesterday after
noon at the trial of Antonio Misiani, of No
l55 Columbia street who was one of the
men arrested and indicted for trying to
extort $1,000 from him.
Misiani was placed on trial before Judge
Fawcett in the morning, but the actual
taking OF testimony did not begin until
after O'Clock. A big crowd waited for the
tenor all the morning, but many got dis
gusted and failed to turn up in the after
noon.
Caruso was the first witness. He identified
the letters which he said he had received
early in March at the Metropolitan Opera
House, demanding money and containing a
yelled threat. He read them off in the
Sicilian dialect in which they were written
and the interpreter translated them. Caruso
spoke in Italian throughout his eXamina-
ton.
Martino Becanti, his valet, told OF taking
a decoy to Brooklyn to represent the
package of money called for in the letters
and Detective Paul Simonetti told of the
arrest Of the prisoner and of one of his
two comrades. Antonio Cincotti, of No. III
Columbia street that followed, whereupon
the case was adjourned for the day.

MAYOR ACTS FOR DRIVERS
Police Get Order Against Indiscrimi
nate Arrests at Accidents.

Mayor Gaynor yesterday ordered that in
discriminate arrests of engineers, motor
men and drivers whenever they figure in
an accident must stop. The Mayor holds
that il is perfectly plain often that these
men are not to blame, and in such cases
TO make an arrest is absurd. After con-
sultation with Commissioner Baker, there
fore he issued the following general order
TO the police last night:
In the case OF persons injured or killed
by railroad engines or cars. or Streetcars,
or trucks, or the like, the engineer, motor
man, driver or other employe should not
be arrested without warrant unless IL be
obvious on the facts, after careful obser-
vation or examination. that the case is
not one of accident, but that he is guilty
OF TnanSlaughter or some other felony, IN
tentionally or through gross negligence.
Let the practice of arresting such per
sons without warrant cease, unless as
aforesaid. The proper way is to make a
thorough examination of the facts and then
apply TO magistrate for a warrant, unless
the case be one in which the person Is
plainly guilty of a felony.
In the case of all such accidents let fuli
information thereof be secured, with the
name and address of ali witnesses thereto,
and the name and address OF the engineer.
