drove straight to Referee Gleason's
Office. She wore sable coat, with q
brown velvet turban, silver gray stock

Couple and Guide at Hotel
The first witness called at the hear
ing was Charles Maschord, manager of
che st. Regis Hotel, who produced a
copy of the hotel register and testified
that on February IL, 1918. reserva-
tions were made for Mr.. and Mrs.
James A. Stillman, their children,
James, Alexander and Anne, and a
nurse. He said that Mrs. Stillman ar
rived on the same afternoon, and that
on the next day or the day after that
James Stillman came. He testified
further that he saw the banker take
An elevator to the apartment reserved
for Mrs. Stillman and the children on
the fourth floor, and that they both
stayed there for two weeks. Fred
Beauvais aruived on the 18th, he said,
and was allotted a room on the sixth
foor. He was the guest of the Still
mans.
This testimony was brought in by
the defense in an endeavor to show
that Mr.. Stillman was with his wife
in The spring of 1918, the year in
which Baby Guy was born, and to try
to counteract the testimony Of Mrs.
Percy A. Rockefeller that Mr.. Stillman
never saw his wife during that period.
The second witness was Theodore
Roth, head waiter in one of the dining.
rooms Of the st. Regis, who testified
that between February IL and 26, 1918
he saw Mr.. Stillman in the hotel sew
eral times
Mr.. Mack told counsel for both sides
chat he expected to complete his case
on December 6, with the exception OF
testimony to be taken in Canada. He
explained that Illness and other causes
had prevented the remainder of the
witnesses from making their appear
rnce at the hearings to-day. Court of
Aciafs will start out at once with sub.
ponas for the missing witnesses. Mr.
Mack is particularly anxious to have
the testimony of woman witness fol
GUY in New Jersey. II she does moi
come to the hearings voluntarily hel
testimony will be taken in her owr
state, it was said to-day.
Fight Centers on Guy
Mrs. Stillman's defense is now en-
tirely concerned with upsetting testi
mony refecting on the paternity o!
Guy. Abandonment Of the counter at
: tack upon the conduct of Mr.. Stiilmar
is tacitly understood. It is considered
unlikely that Mrs. Stillnan will cal
any more witnesses to support hel
charges of intimacy between Mrs
Leeds and Mr.. Stillman. Counsel fol
Mr.. Stillman have announced on sew
eral occasions that the banker woul,
not contest evidence touching upon hi
own behavior.
Mr.. Brennan and Mr.. Mack will de
part for Montreal tomorrow morning
ITO SEQ Fred Reauvais and several Cana
dian Witnesses and to prepare for tn
hearings which they purpose to hol
there in the near future
The present expectation is that Ref
cree Gleason will go to Canada witt
the commission to take testimony Of
the ground.
