Club women who have interested
themselves in the Stillman divorce
case in behalf of Mrs. Anne Urquhart
Potter Stillman, or detectives whos rep
resented themselves as club women. are
reported to have ferreted out impor-
tant and sensational new evidence.
Attorney John f. Mack, guardian of
baby Guy Stillman, who James A. Still
man charges in his divorce suit is the
son of Fred Beauvais, Indian guide, ad-
mitted last night that the new evidence
had been obtained. He refused to dis
suss it, however
The evidence is reported to be volu-
minous. An authority in the case said:
"There is much of it, and it has had
a farreaching effect, for it has brought
Mrs. Anne Urquhart Potter Stillman
and her nineteen-year-old daughter,
Anne Stillman, closer together prob
ably than they have ever been.
Miss Stillman. who mad been much
x.so ner father. visited her brothers
at point near Canada this summer,
and was there when the new evidence
was uncovered. 1t is said to have
caused her to acknowledge baby Guy
Stillman ss her own brother and to
have said
"Father lied to me. The real facts
in the case were kept from my knowl-
edge, and | have asked my mother to
forgive me and will always remain
true to her in the future. No matter
what happens, | will never believe any
thing any one tells me about my mother
again, although my father told me he
had positive proof Of the charges ne
brought against her"
Following the discovery Of the evil
dence in Canada Miss Stillman came
to New York with her brothers, and
all the children have been housed with
the mother at her Fifth Avenue apart
ment. A friend Of the family said last
night:
"Miss Stillman had an apartment in
the same building with her mother, but
lately she was in her mothers apart
ment for several days. I Lever be-
lieved that they were very much
with her father great deal. | be-
lieved that she would finally favor her
mother in this suit. Miss Stillman
sailed for Paxis Saturday on the Olym
pic. She was one of a number of young
women from the Westover School. In
the party were Frances and Harriet
Lowden, daughters of former Governor
Lowden of Illinois, and Miss Meeker.
All will enter a finishing school for
young women In the French capital"
Some of the new evidence gathered
in Canada is documentary. Among
these documents is said to be an affi
davit that personally concerns Fred
Beaxvais, the Indian guide, named as
correspondent and father of baby Guy
by Mr. Stllman.
This affidavit was given into the pos
session of Beauvais's personal counsel
in Montreal and furnished by these at
torneys to Attorney John F. Brennan,
directing the counsel for Mrs. Still
man.
The affidavit is said to have been fur
nished by witness, who already had
testified in the case. He is believed
to have been one of the first Canadians
brought to New York by Mr.. Stillman
and who testified in one of the early
and secret hearings in the rooms Of
the New York Bar Association. Whether
he had repudiated former testimony
was question that persons interested
in the suit refused to answer last
night. All. however, promised sensa-
tional developments when hearings are
resumed at Poughkeepsie October II.
At that time Mrs. Stillman will con-
tinue her side of the controversy
