They turned over to Mrs. Stillman's counsel s62.- 300 for counsel fees and alimony which they had been given until May to pay in installments. With the check for that amount was a letter saying MT. Stillman desires a prompt trial of the issues and IS not disposed to furnish any excuse for delay by staying the proceedings pending an appcal.''
 Previously it had been announced that an appeal from the order grant ing alimony, counsel fees and ex- penses would be taken, and the letter today set forth the payment was made without prejudice to our right to appeal from the order within the thirty days allowed by law

 there is no probability of trial at a reasonably early date" Counsel for
 Mrs. Stillman were not prepared to

Mir Stillman charged that Beau vais was the father of Mrs. Still l mans youngest son, Guy.

They declared i would impose hardship upon tht | financier to give up $62.500 on tha, day and they were granted 30 day. | to complete payment of the sum. Mrs. Stillman's attorneys asked fol
 a stay of trial proceedings until Ma, | 19, but this was later changed to ex | tend over the time required for tn, payments.
