* STILLMAN CASE TO END WITHOUT MORE TESTIMONY Lawyers for Banker's Wife and Baby Guy Believe They Have Already Won, SHE IS TAKING REST. Rumor of Proposed Marriage to Fowler McCormick Ab- surd, Says Mack. Counsel for Mrs, Anne U. Stillman, it was learned to-day, have definitely determined not to present any more evidence and will so notify Referee Gleason Wednesday, The referee will then begin studying the 6,000 pages of testimony, the vital question for him to decide being that of the pater- nity of Guy Stillman, It is generall¥ admitted the case is far ended, as both sides have indicated a determination to fight it to the hghest court. Disinterested lawyers seem to think neither Mr. nor from Mrs. Stillman will obtain a decision on the divorce issue, and that Guy Stillman will be adjudged lawfully entitled to share in the $8,000,000 trust fund established by the late James Stillman for the childrers of his son, on the ground that allegations aginast the infant are unproved The presentation of four letters, alleged to have been written by Mrs. Stillman and sold for $15,000 by Fred Beauvais, are tho main centre of in- terest now. Mrs, Stillman has de- nied that slie wrote them and Beau- vais has denied he sold them, or that there were ever such letters in his bossession, Stories are being told, however, that Mrs. Stillman had secretly doubted Beauvais’s loyalty for months and that he becamo resentful during the trip of Mrs. Stillman’s party into the Canadian woods last winter for evidence. At one time he is said to have had a quarrel with Philip ©’ Brien, who was in the party as an te counsel, over the dual effort to Interview witnesses, and that Mr. O'Brien said one or the other would have to quit the expedition, The trou- lie was patched up at a conference «f the party lasting until 2A, M. It wus afterwards said Mrs, Stillman's real reason for undertaking the trip was her distrust of uvais, ‘Thi Indian guide was reported later to be ngry because he had not been called io testify and because he had been forced into such an inconspicuous rele As to the letters he is allor-d to have sold, John F’, Brennan of her 1 said: ne ‘whole case of Mr, Stillman against his wife has had a hard, me- tallle ring to it—the ring of gold. Long ago charged that witnesses in Canada had been corrupted to offer testimony against Mrs. Stillman. If the statement is true that Mr. Still- man's represenatives paid Beauvais $15,000 for the letters produced at the last session, it is simply a continua- tion of their same policy of using money for improper purposes. “Mrs. Stillman has sworn she ne wrote the letters and never saw Beauvais has denied he ever posses: ov sold such letters. Any. denia could make would be of no yalue. T testimony Is in, and will be weigied on its merits."" “As to Beauvais, don't know whether he got any mone; or not, He says he didn't and they say he did. That's all T know about it, except that I know that the letter: neyer were written by Mrs, Stillman Her friends redicule that Mrs. St would Fowler McCormick if the ction should succeed A denial came from her home yesterday, and when John BK, Mark, guardian of Guy, was asked about it at Poughkeepsie, he denied it. “The rumor is foolisl of it,” said Mr, Mack Mrs. Stillman who is decree.
