New York, May 9-It now develops
that the real reason for the halt in
the hearings in the Stillman divorce
action was not because the attorneys

1t Is reported that several of the
bankers witnesses decamped because
they did not care to face the condem-
nation the public has poured upon the
efforts to outcast the baby, Guy. 9th
ers, 1t is said, have let it be known
that they do not intend running away
and similarly do not intend TO help the
former bank president win divorce.
Several are said to complain that they
had no idea what the banker plan
was when they were approached and
asked to testify
