Mrs. Anna q. Stillman made this
declaration to the United Press to-

the secret hearings in the divorce
suit Of her multi-millionaire hus-
band, James A. Stillman.
ut was q frightful shock to mo

she continued.

that one must go out ami win Jus

understand that"
Banker is Social Bolshevist"
Mrs. Stillman characterized
Stllman as "a social bolshevist"
and abnormal and declared that he
should be in hospital"
He had many admirable qualities
to begin WITH" she said. "The fault
seems to lie with the lives they
live in Wall street. 1t is the power
complex'-the eternal mania for
making money. In moments of re-
taxation such men turn away from
their equals and seek the society
of their interiors.
1T was then that Mr.. ShIlman
turned to Mrs. Leeds, it was then
that he filled his yacht with women.
Il am convinced that my exper-
fence will teach a lesson to this
type OF Wall street man. The Amer
lean people will not tolerate men,
rich Or poor, who treat their fami-
lies as Mr.. Stillman has treated us"

to clear him Is to fight this thinl
through every court until his name
Is absolutely clear.
ut is something of an ordeal tt
attend these hearings but it il
worth it 1t makes it so muct
harder for the other side. The wit

The first move Of the defense to-

to force Stillman to take the stand
The only way this could be accom-
