Attorney for Family Says
Court Is Limited to Issues
in Divorce Action.

Former Justice Of the Appellate
Division Almet f. jerks, appearing
before Justice Morschauser at White
Plains this afternoon as additional
counsel for James A. Stlllman in his
divorce action, made the principal
argument against a motion to include
all the heirs OF the late james Still-
mans s37.0O0.o00 estate as parties
to the issue as to the legitimacy Of
the infant Guy Stillman."
The motion was made by john F..
Mack, legal guardian of Guy Still
man, as he explained to the court "to
protect the child from future humll-
iation."
Mrs. Stillman might be found in
nocent Of her husbands charges. Mr..
Mack said She might not be found
innocent. But in either event there
was always the possibility that it
might suit the whlm of one of the
heirs OF the great estate to contest
Guys right to share in it ON account
of the allegations in this case. He
intended 70 make the findings in this
case binding upon all of them.
There arc only three issues in the

these questions: Has Mrs. Stillman
been faithful to her husband? Has
Mr.. Stillmau been faithful to his wife ?
Js Guy the child of James A. still
man? Beyond that this court cannot

three issues the heirs OF James still

Mr.. Jenks ignored the assertions of
Mr.. Mack that as matters stood, Mr..

Mrs. Ctillman had not completed hers,
and were all the statements OF both
believed there was no possibility OF
a divorce, and the only question was
as to legitimacy. He did not refer To
Mr.. Mack's statements that all tho

Justice Morschauer ordered both
sides TO submit briefs next Tuesday
