A 81 llman's defense against the
divorce charges made by the Presi-
dent o' the National City Bank was

by the President Of the National Citv
Bank and who is reported ready to
sacrifice the secrets of her own past.

Citations entirely different from those

mony was constructed from reported
interviews with the witnesses in
Canada. Any one who ever heard
the testimony or read the stenogra-
piers minutes would know 1t was
not taken from those minutes"
Contrary to general expectation
Justice Morschauser made it known
to-day that he would not order the
letters and affidavits filed with Mrs
! Stillman's alimony motion and heI
husbands answer to be made public
when he renders his decision this
