Counsel for Mrs, Stillman, it was revealed to-day, have obtained from Mrs. Sophie Bartkoff, of No, 1737 Park Avenue, an affidavit bearing on Mrs. Leeds Mrs. Bartkoff is Me wife of Frank Bartkoff, an employee of the Inter- borough Rapid Transit Company and formerly a fireman in the aparcment souse at No, 64 East 86th Street, where hig wife, then Miss Brickson, Was a maid for Mrs. Leeds, ‘Phe former maid sald last night that in connection with an investigation into the identity of # frequent visitor to Mrs. Leeds she recently was shown photographs of James A.

Stillman, plaintiff, against Anne U. Stillman’ and Guy Stillman, ‘defend. ants, in Carmel, Patnam County, sev- eral months ago. That the papers had been hidden away did not occasion much surprise in view of the extraordinary care used by Mr, Stillman and his lawyers in trying to avoid publicity. Mr. Stillman's lawyers even sequestrated the notes of stenographers who took the testimony before Referee Daniel J. Gleason of several French-Canadi- ans as to matters at the Stillman lodge at Three Rivers. Quebec. One of the witnesses called here for the referee's hearings is Miss Isabel Armstrong, nurse for Alex- ander Stillman, now eleven years old, ‘Notice is.
