Fight Over Little Guy By this offer, which was seemingly designed both to avoid further publi- city and to protect Mr. Stillman from possible criminal chrge, the plain- tiff’s attorney’s practically announced abandonment of any hope of winning the ‘divorce action against Mrs. Anne Urghart Stillman and thei determined lawyers called her victory yesterday at PoughKeéepsie, N. Y., over her hus- band, James A. Stillman, banker, in his suit for divorce. “I am very glad to receive the news,” was all she would say. Her lawyers jubilation was caused by a statement by the banker’s coun- sel that evidence in support of the allegation of intimacy between the hanker and Florence Leeds, a former show girl, would not be disputed. Evidence Convincing. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., July 14.-Atv| torneys for James A. Stillman, plain-l 4ff in the Stillman divorce action,; tried at the end of the hearing be- fore Referee Daniel Gleason here yesterday to prevent the introduction of any further testimony showing in- timacy between Mr. Stillman and Mrs. Florence H. Leeds or any other wom- an Althoush Mr. Stillman’s attorneys declined to admit Stillman’s miscon- duct, Colonel William Rand, one of his counsel, said that the plaintiff would not contradict any of the evi- dence which showed that he had lived ds the husband of Mrs. Leeds under key —no one may unlock the box except yourself or someone to whom you have delegated written authority. If you should lose your key, the finder can net enter your box. Think this over —before you go on your vacation. tion to center efforts in the attempt to have Guy, the youngest son of Mrs. Stillman, adjudged illegitimate. Colonel Rand’s request was opposed both by John E. Mack, guardian ad litem for Guy Stillman, and John F. Brennan Mrs. Stillman’s chief counsel. Mr. Brennan pointed out that, inas- much as the case would probably go to an appellate court, the defense had not only to satisfy Referee Gleason but also should have the right to in- troduce evidence to meet any situation that might arise in a higher court. Mr. Mack contended that, in view of the charge that Mr. Stillman and Mrs. Leeds had entered into a *conspiracy to obtain a divorce for the former and to have Guy Stillman declared illegi- timate, the latter whs entitled to any advantage that might be gained from the submission of further evidence. Referee Gleason, after hearing the arguments, announced that he would permit the defense to continue its testimony, at least for the present. U. S.
