NO WAY TO SETTLE
STILLMANS' CASE
Legal Rights of the Boy Guy
Must Be Determined in
Court.

Reports mat James A Stillman, for
mer president of the National City Bank
had made overtures for a settlement out
OF court of his marital difficulties were
denied yesterday by all of the lawyers
interested in the action. II was pointed
out that there can be no discontinuance
of the suit until the legal right of Guy
Stillman the bankers youngest son, to
participate in the S7,000,000 trust fund
established by his grandfather has been
established to the satisfaction OF the
State
Even should Mr.. and MRS. Stillman de-
eide to reconcile their differences, which.
it was said, is not even remotely possible,
baby Guys legitimacy must be deter
mined. To withdraw the action il would
be necessary for Mr.. and Mrs. Stillman
particularly the banker to decree the
paternity of the youngster. This would
be insisted upon, it is generally under
stood. by John l.. Mack, who was APP
pointed guardian ad litem by Supreme
Court Justice Morschauser.
Part of the report had it that the
banker was to settle an allowance Of
$500 a month on Mrs Stillman for life
and out of this she wgs to support baby
Guy In return the alleged arrangement
was that a stipulation was TO be drawn
his right 10 participation in the trust
fund established by the elder James A.
Stillman. Such suggestion was de-
clared preposterous by the lawyers in
terested in Mrs Stillmaiis defence, as
neither a mother nor fa her Is per-
mitted by law to illegtimaad1e child
without proof other than their own testi-
mony, which is NOT competent.
Mr.. Stillman's lawyers have contanded
right along that the banker brought
the charges against baby Guy mainly
because he wanted to keep clean the
family name. These attorneys are ur-
derstood to be agreed that the SUR
while basically one for divorce, has sim
mered down to a contest of the pater
nifty of the youngster. 1t is therefore
considered unlikely that Mr. Stillman
would reverse himself. now that the ac.
tiou has gone as far as it has and
place himself on record as being the
baby's father On the other hand il ia
known that Mrs. Stillman is determined
TO fight the suit to a finish
When the banker made his son CO..
defendant the State became an inter-
ested party because of the youngsters s
age. Mr. Mack, as guardian ad litem. Is
an officer of the court and is charged
with the duty of defending Guy against
the allegations in the bankers com
plalnt Re.ng an officer of the court
ne possesses wide powers. and these
may become the deciding factor in the
case before il - settled. 1t fs Mr..
MacN's right and duty, should any. ar
rang1mert be entered into. to connpeI
