He testified that the child was nor
mai baby in every respect, weighing
more than eight pounds and being
twenty one inches in height. DR.. Hill
dreth described Mr.. Stilman as an
affectionate husband and testified that
he called en- his wife two or three
times in the hospital, bringing her
flowers and gifts.
The testimony Of Mrs. Rockefeller
was corroborated by that OF Mrs. Hunt.
who now lives in Washington Place
She was housekeeper for some time at
the Stillman home, in East Seventy
second Street. She said that between
January ] and April /. 1918, she had
reason to believe that the plaintiff was
living continuously there. His door
was always closed in the morning. and
she inferred that he always occupied
his room. Under oss-examination
her testimony was slightly weakened
and she was less positive as to the
statements delivered under direct en-
animation.
Frank Lacey formerly butler and
valet at 9 East Seventy Street
and now a guard of the National City
Bank. gave testimony substantially the
same as Mrs. Hunts. He was in Ire
land last autumn when he heard about
the Stillman divorce suit and returned
to testify in behalf of his former EN-
pioyer.
Never Saw Wife Visit Him
Mary Murray, a waitress who worked
for Mr.. Stillman both at East Seven
ty-second Street and later at 27O Park
Avenue, said that to the best of her
recollection her employer was never
oh /,
ary | and April l, 1918, and that she
never saw Mrs. Stillman visit him.
Della Rock, another maid of the
family, testified that she was at Pleas
antvlle, Westchester County, with Mrs.
Stillman for three weeks during De-
cember, 1917 Mr.. Stillman paid short
visit on Christmas Eve and Christmas,

The last witness of the day was Ber-
nard Kelly. He continued the direct

Beauvais "a nephew of Fred Beauvais) },
Guy and Mrs. Stillman lived at Pleas
antville from January % to February
6. 1919, he testified, According to
Kelly Fred Beauvais lived in the same
section of the blue cottage" as Mrs.
stillman. He swore that Mr.. Stillman
did not visit the cottage from Christ
mas, 1917, to May IL, 1919.
Questioned regarding letter alleged
to have been written by Beauvas to
Mrs. Stillman, Kelly said that Mary
Kelly, maid of Mrs. Stillman's, took
the letter from the desk of her mis-
tress and gave it to him to read
Asked why he did not keep the letter
he said he thought this would have
been dishonorable. He admitted or
cross-examination that he saw Mary
Kelly at his home two weeks ago, and
added that he had no idea of her
whereabouts now. Attempts have been
made by Mrs. Stillman's attorneys t.
find this maid, but they have been un-
successful
Hugh L. Russell, the Buffalo osteo-
path, whose evidence has been consid
cred the most sensational heard thus
far, will take the stand on Friday. He
swore at a previous hearing that Mrs
Stillman told him Fred Beauvais was
the father of her unborn child, now
known as Guy Stillman.
