New York, Nov. 19.—Joseph'H. Cun
ningham,' one of the keepers in the
Central park xoo, declared today that
Enrfco Carttpo, the great Metropolitan
Opera House tenor, was under con
stant surveillance both by him and by
Detective John J, Cain, who arrested
the singer, for the very same sort of
disorderly, conduct of which he Is now
accused.
'For several Sundays last winter,
when the crowd in the menagerie was
the largest, I had notice! this fellow,
not knowing then that he was Caruso.
He was annoying women In the crowd.
VVe followed Caruso to the bird house,
where he anhoyed two women.
Women Feared Notoriety.
"Cain asked the two women to make
a complaint against the man, but they
both refused, saying they could not af
ford to attract the notoriety that would
follow their appearance In court. I saw
a picture of Caruso and knew he was
the same man we had bad under sur
veillance.”
Sergeant McGIrr, of the Central park,
before whom Caruso was taken by De
tective Cain after he had been arrested
on the complaint of Mrs, Hannah Gra
ham, of 1758 Bathgate avenue, the
Bronx, the woman for whom the de
tective was searching today, ridiculed
the charges of attempted blackmail
which Coruso has made.
Witnesses Against Caruso.,
"We have three witnesses, two park
keepers and a civilian, read^ to enter
court next Wednesday and testify
against Caruso and his actions in this
park that forced Detective Cain to take
him to the station house,” said Police
Sergeant McGIrr.
"He cried like a blg'baby when he
was taken to a cell, and If he had been
arrested for anything else I would have
felt sorry for him. Such men as he
should be In prison instead of coming
over here and' Insulting respectable
American women. If I were this wom
an's husband I’d get the singer and
beat his head off. He'd be perfectly
right In doing It, and not a policeman
would take him In either It ha knew
the cause of the case.
Tenor Has Recovered.
"We expect to get ether witnesses
and we are going to mkke It so hot for
the man' that he will either leave the
city or go to prison.”
' It was said today at the Hotel Sa
voy. where Caruso la stopping, that
he had completely recovered from the
nttack of sciatica that kept him from
appearing In court Saturday when hla
case was called. He was out on Fifth
avenue yesterday early In the day and
after a long walk with Heinrich Con'
rled, returned to the hotel.
Won’t Flee to Franoo.
"It's all bosh talk on the part of my
enemies that I am going to llee the
country and sail for France,” said the
tenor when seen today In his apart
ments at the Savoy. "I hnve nothing
to fear from the police or this woman.
"I was very III last Saturday and so
could not be In court, but It was not
because I was afraid. Oh, no; I’m not
afraid .Never before In all my life
have I been In so much trouble. It
will blow over and I will be vindicated.
I fear nothing."
