Court Decision Cited to Show
Jury Can't Decide StiIIman
: Baby's Paternity.

NEW YORK, March 2o.--will .
jury be permitted to decide the
paternity of Guy Stillman by COM
pairing the appearance Of the child
with that of James A. Stillman, the
banker, who repudiates the babe. and
Fred Beauvais, who also declares he
is not the father.
MACK FOR JURY EDICT.
John e. Mack, the infants legal
guardian, has said he is prepared to
let the jury pass on the resemblance
of the little one to the banker. l. T.
Flatto, the well-known New York at
torney. pointed out today that the
law will not allow Fhe infants pa
ternity to be settled in such man
ner,
Fiatto quoted the Appellate De
vision in the case Of Bilkovjc VS. Loab.
15G App. Div. page Il9. as the only
decision in New York State on such
question.
The case concerned a civil action
In assault A child was permitted
to be shown to a jury and a vef-
dict was reached In favor of ths
woman, who claimed to be the chiidfs
mother and who accused the man of
being its father. ~
Flatto appealed on the ground
that the exhibition of the child 10
the jury was illegal and sSproprss
In sustaining the appeal and re-
versing the lower court judge
Laughlin wrote the following opin-
ion. which was unanimously con-
CURED in by Judges Ingraham. Nc
Laughlin. Clarke and Scott:
I'VE are OF the opinion that the
learned trial court fell into error,
in permitting over objection and
exception duly taken by defendant
the child to be exhibited to the jury
MATTER OF THOUGH
After comparing the Appearances
of the child and the defendant. IL
l.; more than likely that the jurors
saw, or thought they saw. resers
blance which enabled them to re-
solve the questions of fact in favor
of the plaintiff.
"The defendant, having denied that
he had intercourse with the plaintiff
at all. II, from the likeness of the
child TO him the jury were of the
opinion that he had been intimate
with her, they would naturally accept
her testimony that she was over
powered and unable to defend her
honor.
such evidence is neither accurate
nor reliable, and IL was incompetent
on this issue.
"The sole contention of the learned
counsel for the plaintiff is that 1t was
not prejudicial. We think IL was most
prejudicial and, doubtless. determined
the issue in favor of the plaintiff"
On a retrial of the case in the lower
court the defendant obtained the ver-
dict

4BLooD TEST METHOD.

Here is a legal acceptance OF tie
blood test method of proving paren-
tage that could be applied to ascer-
tain the paternity of Guy Stillman,
the disputed heir to some Of the Still
man millions.
3 The superior court in San Francisco
has just decided that Virginia Nittori
is the daughter of Paul Vittori, who
had repudiated the infant. The de-
cision was based on an examination
of the vibrations of the blood cor
puscles OF the husband. the wife. and
the child, measured with an electro
rediometer.
DR.. Albert Abrams, who made the
tests, reported that the chfld's blood
was of identical rhythm with that OF
the parents, and n co.ibination OF
their racial origins.
VIII John f.. Mack, guardian ad
litem for Guy Stillman, call on James
A. Stillman, the banker. and his wife
to submit with the baby to a blood
test to settle Guys paternity?
