Daniel ]. Gleason that verdict be
handed down in favor OF the infant.
Many lawyers connected with the case
feel that in view OF the turn the test
mony took last week the referee will
grant the motion, and the legitimacy Of
the child will not oe a point at issue.
Lawyers on Mrs. Stillmans side feel
certain that the referee must give fa-
vorable ruling on the motion TO exclude
from the record the alleged admission
concerning the parentage of the baby
made to DR.. Hugh l.. Russell, the Buff
falo osteopath This testimony was
heard at one of the sessions In the Bar
Association rooms on MAJ 4. but with
It expunged there will be nothing in the
record that is damaging to the child.

dismissal of the allegations affecting
Guy it will not necessarily end the suit.
as there will still be the question of
divorce for the banker No motion for
the dismissal OF the allegations against
Mrs. Stillman will be made by John F.
Brennan, her chief counsel. until the de-
fence has called several witnesses N It's
effort to prove that the testimony OF the
Canadian witnesses called by the banker
was frameup.
Rumors are again aAoat in New York
and in Poughkeepsie, where the hearings
are being held that overtures for a set
Element will be made again by the Still
man side of the case. These runners are
based on the turn the suit has taken re-

Ia known that Mr.. Stilman decidedly
does not wish to be cross-examtned by
Mr. Mack, which he will be If the suit Is
fought to a finish. The only other course
open is to settle with his wife,
The testimony of the Canadian wit
nesses will be vigorously attacked by
Mrs Stillman's attorneys. particularly
that part Of 1t in which it Is stated that
Fred X. Beauvais was seen In Mrs. Still
mans bedroom at Grande Anse, the Que
bee camp of the Stillmans. The defence
will show. it is alleged. that THIS room
was separated from that OF Miss Anne
Stilman only by a thin wooden partition
and that there was a doorway between
them hung with portieres. Miss Stilman
occunied her room at the time that the
guide was alleged to have been with Mrs.
Stillman.
No Mention of Caresses.
Another point OF the testimony which
will be attacked vigorously is that given
last Thursday at Ponshkeepsie BY Della
Rock, former maid ar Mondanne' the
plea santville home OF the Stillmans.
Miss Rock said she saw Mrs. Stillman
come out Of a bathroom in. the blue cot
tage one morning and walk into her bed
room. The bed, she said had not been
slept In. But whep she glanced INTO tne
euide's room. she Noticed the bed was
ruf,ed. The defence will prove that the
only double bed in the house was the
one in Mrs. Stillman's room.
What is said to be one OF the unusual
features OF the testimony thus far rs that
1 no mention has been made OF Kissing
Ca ressing or OF hand holding episodes.
Even the witnesses who testified TO hay
ing seen Beauvais in Mrs. Stillman's
room could not say that they ever had
seen him kiss or caress her. although one

window blind for more than ten
! minutes.
