A HUSBAND WELL WATCHED
NOW MRS. JAMES A. STEWART cor
EVIDENCE FOR HER DIVORCE SUIT.

The Cook witness and . Nurse Girl the
Co-Respondsnt-Privnt Detectives Com
cealod in the House-Tho Defendant
Is well-Known Brooklyn Physician.
John McKeon. referee in the suit OF Cornelia
Hollingsworth Stewart against DIR. James AL
exander Stewart for an absolute divorce. pre-
scented his report yesterday afternoon to Justice
Almet +. jerks at tho special term OF the
Supreme Court in Brooklyn. 1t 10 in
favor OF the plaintiff. and recommends that
the mother retain tho custody OF Helen Stew
art. the 7-year-old daughter OF the couple. and
that 5000 year almony and $500 additional
for the support and education OF tho girl be
awarded her.
Former Congressman Magner. counsel for
the defendant. made vigorous protest against
the confirmation OF the referees findings.
which he characterized as most oxtraor-
binary" in view Of the evidence submitted and
the fact that Dr. Stewart and the CO. respond
ent. who was referred to simply as "Lizzie."
both denied the alleged misconduct.
Mr.. Magner asserted that Mrs. Stewart never
contemplated divorce proceeding until her
husband had demonstrated with her about her
bicycle and carriage rides with certain law
yer She then. as Mr.. Wagner averred. intro
duced into the Stewart household in Bedford
avenue. in the capacity OF cook. a woman
who had been only q week in the country to
act as spy over her husband and Susie. the
sixteen year old nurse girl. The stories OF
the cook. which Mr. Magner contended were
unfounded. formed part OF the testimony
heard by the referee in behalf Of the plaintiff
Mr.. Magner said that in addition to the cook
Mrs. Stewart had private detectives concealed
all over the house from time to time. one
even being in the cellar. Holes were
bored: he as asserted, in several J.. walls,
observations and strips OF parer were pasted
over them. In spite OF all this remarkable
detective ingenuity. Mr.. MaRner claimed no
proof OF wrongdoing was furnished.
.A,trip which Dr; Stewart, made on an Albany
night boat with his daughter and tho nurse
was also referred to by Mr.. Magner. Mrs.
Stewart, he said. had sent two detectives along
to watch her husband. but all they could tes-
tify to was that the nurse and the girl occupied
one Of the berths in stateroom and DR..
Stewart who did not disrobe. the other.
1t came out at the hearing that DR. Stewart
had made alleged confessions His counsel
admitted that after their separation he had
written to. his wife. In the hone Of effectlng q
regret for some acts on. his part. he now
strenuously denied that those acts were such
as his wife complained Of. He also denied
that he had made an explicit confession to
brother OF his wife.
The report Of tho referee and the accompany
ing testimony and letters were not made pub
lie. Justice jerks said he would read and con-
slider them carefully before rendering de-
cision.
Dr. Stewart is about 40 years old and has
been In practice In Brooklyn for twelve years.
He Is well known In the Bedford avenue dis
trict and belongs to several Brooklyn clubs.
