So important did Referee Gleason
consider the personal appearance CT

| The naming of the new correspond

for Baby Guy. who showed his skill
in cross-examination yesterday. and
| John r. Brennan, the fighting Yon-
kers lawyer. who put new pep into
Mrs. Stillmans' defense, are relied
upon to make IL memorable.
ORDEAL FOR sTILLMAN.
Yesterdays development is a new
epoch in the case. Up to now. Mr..
Stillman has put forth his case
| through the mouths of servants and
acquaintances. The order for his ap-
pearance June % means that he him
| self will have to get In the front
| trench and take the fire OF Mrs. Still
mans lawyers. The severe ordeal
which reduced Mrs. Peroa A. Rookie
feller to tears was a foretaste of what
he will have to face.
| DR.. Hildreth, the distinguished spe-
cialist, struck a stunning blow unwit-
tingly at the case OF Stillman. The
| rs Oh the stai VI Nhc "oiu-
ans Hospital; where Guy was born
on November %, 1918 Mrs. Percy A.
Rock efeller, sister of Stillman, with a
| squad of servants from the Stillman
home, at No. East Seventy-second
street, had sworn that the philander-
ing flnancier and his wife were es-
tranged from January 1 to April 1, in
the year of Guys birth.
| DR.. Hildreth testified that Stillman
| had called at the Woman's Hospital
several times while Mrs. Stillman was
a patient just before and after the
disputed infant was born. He swore
that Stillman gave every evidence Of
being a fond and normal father.
| To the wife's defense, this testi-
mony was OF incalculable value COM
