Gooreignt, 1029 (New York Evening World), yy Press Publishing Company LONDON, Sept. 29.—Although the Britich Government continues to send Feinforcements to the Near East, it fe not abating its efforts to come to some agreement with Kemal Pasha. ‘Unless the Turks force a fight with the British troops occupying the Chanak area it is expected that in the next forty-eight hours further efforts will be made to obtain direct contact with Kemal either through Gon. Sir Charles Harlington, Sir Hor- ace Rumbéld, British Ambassador at Constantinople, or Admiral Brock. A grave turn in the situation has resulted from Greek threats to hold Eastern Thrace despite the Allies willingness to.cede it to the Turks It is feared the Greek revolution will co} ge ize into @ nationalist move- ment to hold Thrace at all costs. Th Greeks have formidable forces in Thrace and can reinforce them quickly. It is hardly likely that any of the Allies will embark upon war to throw @ut the Greeks, but such a confiict ‘would increase the possibility of war between the British and Turks, be- @ause the latter would then try to -emter Thraco through the so-called meutral zone of Chanak.

Third: Is the adult defendant guilty of the charges of adultery set forth by the complaint? This is a very unusual action, as it clearly appears without con- tradiction that since at least as early as 1916, and ever since that date, during the continuance of this action and down to at least- March, 1921, the plaintiff has been intimate with a woman not his wife, known as Florence H. Leeds; has supported and main- tained her as his wife, in various places and in various apartments. That during the period she has given birth to two children who have been recognized by him as his children; has supplied her with motor cars and jewelry; su- pervised her bank account and has borne the same relations with her as a man ordinarily bears to his own wife The proof on this subject was 20 overwhelming and ‘convincing that the plaintiff's attorneys frankly stated to tho referee that no denial would be made of these charges, and upon the uncontra- dicted proof I find that the plain- tiff has lived with one Florence H. Leeds from the year 1916 to at least the early part of 1921, As to the charges regarding ons ‘‘Clara’’ and one ‘‘Helen’’ no proof was offered as to Clara, but rhile there is evidence that the tiff occupied a étateroom in his yacht with one “Helen,” no proof has been offered that the said “Helen” was not the adult defendant herein, and I find the charges as to the said “Clara” and “Helen” not proved LEGITIMACY OF BABY GUY MORE DIFFICULT PROBLEM, A more serious question is pre- sented, as to the legitimacy of the infant defendant, Guy Stillman.

To m this proof, evidenca has been offered on behalf of the adult defendant that on Jan. 6 and Jan, 27, 1918, the plaintiff and defend- ant were together at, his resi- denee, Mondanne, Pleasantville, N. Y., and between Feb. 12 and 26 the adult defendant, with her family, stayed at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City and on one or two occasions the plaintiff was observed taking the elevator which led to her apartments and the plaintiff answered a telephone call to the adult defendant's apart- ment. It further appears, without contradiction, that during all this period the relations between the Plaintiff and the adult defendant were most harmonious and pleas- ant, no proof being offered or claimed that the plaintiff and de- fendant were not carrying on their usual marital relations, and in October previous it is established that the intiff and defendant occupied @ room together at Lake Dawson, at which time the plaintiff expressed great pleasurs at occupying a room with his wife; in fact, it also clearly appears that after the birth of the infant, Guy, the plaintiff and adult defendant were often together, at which times the plaintiff played the victrola for the benefit of the defendant and the said infant and their relations then were appar- ently most happy and pleasant. On the question of access, the testimony of the witness Clawson, Strengthened by the letters writ- ten by him setting forth the fact of the presence of the plaintiff at Mondanne, are most convincing. IS FATHER OF BABY GUY. The evidence on the part of the plaintiff as to non-access is not satisfactory, is not satisfying and does not convince me. The plaintiff has failed to over- come the presumption of legiti- macy and | therefore find the defendant Guy Stillman to be the legitimate child of the plaintiff and the adult defendant. While the plaintiff's own mis- conduct precludes the granting of any relief to him in this action, and while the adult defendant asks for no affirmative relief, but sets up the misconduct of the Plaintiff as defense only, the plaintiff asks for an adjudication that the adult defendant is guilty of the charges against her and for a finding to that effect herein Tho testimony adduced by the plaintiff it, support of these charges, uncontradicted and un- explained, is sufficient to justify him in believing her guilty of the charges made against her. A careful examination, however, of all of the testimony has shaken my faith and belief in the: testi- mony of the witnesses called in the plaintiff's behalf. It is claimed that this evidence tends to establish relations be- tween the adult defendant and one Frederick Beauvais, a half-breed Indian guide, commencing at Lake Wyagamack in December of 1916 and continuing down until the early part of the year 1920, and witnesses called, whose testi- mony the plaintiff claims estab- Ushes the following misconducts: In December, 1916, the adult de- fendant and the said Beauvais were together at a small club on Little Lake! Wyagamack. About Nov. 25, 1917, and dur- ing the week preceding the said Gate, the adult defendant and the said Beauvais occupied a room together in the Blackburn Cottage at Grande Anse. In the summer of 1913, the adult defendant and said Beau- vais lived alone and together in the Blackburn Cottage at Grands Anse. In the latter part of June or the fore part of July, 1919, the adult defendant and the said Beauvals were together in Beauvais's room at ‘Grande Anse and the said, adult defendant's clothing wes kept in Beauvatt room. fe Septemeber of 1919, the said adult defendant were together 18 her room in the White Cottage at Grand Anse and that at vari- ous times in the Blue Cottage at Pleasantville, and in the main residence there, the said Beauvais and the adult defendant were guilty of acts of misconduct EVIDENCE OF BRIBE DISCOUNTS STILLM, N’S TESTIMONY, In support of the above a num- ber of letters and number of alleged acts and conversations on the part of the adult defendant are offered in evidence. The endant not only offers evidence tending to establish the untruth and falsity, of the evi- dence, but also tending to show ——oooyy——————E——————e——___= EPEAL THE VOLSTEAD LAW: ADMIT BEER AND LIGHT WINES—DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM that the agents of the plaintiff offered inducements of mont position and to purch. clothe: for witnesses if they would testify as to misconduct between the defendant and the co- respondent Beauv and evi- dence is offered on the part of the adult defendant to show that in December of 1916 the defen- dant did not stay at the Little Club on Little Lake Wyagamack, Dut that on such occasion the adult defendant had taken th train from Little Lake Wyaga- mack to the Big Club on Big Lake Wyagamack where she was stopping at the time. The testimony of the witness Adams to the effect that in No- vember of 1917 he had creased a roller shade curtain and“at night had peeped through the crease and saw the adult defendant and the co-respondent in compomis- ing positions is unlikely, unsatis- factory and when it appears from the testimony of the adult de- fendant’s witnesses that there never was a roller shade curtain in the house and that the small room in which it is claimed the co-respondent slept, was not at that time used as a bedroom, but as ® store room for duffle, the ef. tect of this testimony is absolute- ly dogtroyed.

It is conceded by all the parties that at the time mentioned the defendant was at the white cottage mentioned by Grerion, three nights only, and this, coupled with the testimony of Grenon and Page to the effect that they also gazed through the window of the room while they were standing on a scaffold, when the greater weight of the evidence shows that at that time no scaf- fold existed, and the fact that an observation made through the keyhole would disclose only the foot of the bed, together with the participation of Grenon and Ferdi- nand Page with La Fontaine in a room on the second floor of the Hotel Windsor at La Touue in a conference in which arrangements were being made for the payment of money to Page and Grenon for testifying, destroys all confidence in their testimony and in the testi- mony of the witness Page as to the adult defendant and the co- respondent occupying a room to- gether in September of the year 1919. It appears that on most of these occasions the children and at times visitors and friends were occupying the same premises as the adult defendant and t: respondent; that the partitions between the rooms were simply board partitions, without plaster- ing and that at least part of the time rooms adjacent to that of the adult defendant were occu- pied by her daughter and her son, all of which tends to cast doubt upon the reliability of the tes- timony.

Stillman, then President of the National City Bank, was begun on July 18, 1920, nineteen years after bis marriage to Anne Urquhart Potter. In.the two years, and three months the sult endured, 7,000 pages of testimony were taken, pf to be placed in the hands of Referee Gleason for reading, weighing and de- @ cision. The last addition to this vel- uminous record is the referee's report, work on which was finished less than forty-eight hours ago. It is estimated that the litigation cost not less than half a million dollars, In his original ne wk Stillman charged that Fred kK. , part Indian guide, who haa been ‘an em: ployee of the family, was the father of baby Guy Stillman, the child bearing the Stillman name. Al- so, he charged that his wife had been guilty of misconduct with Beauvais at the Stillman lodge at Grand Anse Quebec, and at Pleasantville, the Stillman country place in Westchester County. ‘Twice during the hearings Stillman took the witness stan The tiret time he gave routine evidence with- out hesitation or reluctance. But on the second occasion, when facing his wife's attorney, John F. Brennan, © and guardian of Baby Guy, John E. Mack, he refused to answer about four hundred questions on the ground. to quote his own words, “that it might tend to incriminate me.” His sister, Mre. Percy Rockefeller, took the stand on his side of the case. Mrs. Stillman was a witness in’ her own behalf. In questioning the legitimacy of Baby Guy, Stillman challenged the right of the child to share in the trust. tund of $6,000,000 established by the plaintiff's father, the late James Stillman. Early in. the case, Justice Mors- chauser awarded Mrs. Stillman $90,000 @ year alimony, and liberal allowances were made from time to time for” counsel fees and expenses. Mrs. Stillp man went to the northern part of Quebec and gathered two score French-Canadians as witnesses to contradict the so-called ‘‘ladder-and key-hole’? witnesses collected by her husband. The case ended May 15 with the submiesion of four letters by Still man's attorneys whose witnesses seid they had been bought from Beauvais in Montreal for $15,000.
