HAS Brave front
Banker StiIIman Faces Battery
of Reporters and Cameras.
Walks in to Confront Wife at
Divorce Hearing.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 30.-Ar-
irving for the resumption of his or
deal on the witness stand in his suit
for divorce, James A. Stillman, amid
the clicking of cameras and under the
gaze of an army of reporters. for the
fi-st time accepted the inevitable to-
day and. without any attempt at as
guise OF hiding, walked up to the
court room by the front door.
His eyes were glued to the ground.
JJpstairs, in the chambers of Referee
Gleason, he was again face to face
with his wife, Mrs. "Fiff Potter
Stillman, the second time IN more
than a year. Again neither gave the
slightest sign of recognitionSg
A few minutes afterward the hear
ing was under way and Mrs Still
mans attorneys were again exploiting
every conceivable legal recourse 10
force the multimillionaire to answer
the direct questions which yesterday
he had steadfastly refused to answer
on the ground that he did not wish to
incTiminate and degrade himself.
As the banker and his legal aides
arrived, Cornelius ]. Sullivan, one OF
his counsel, took occasion to uppralo
the newspaper men:
why don't you reporters tell the
truth?" he fairly shouted. All tne
newspapers said this morning Mr.
Stillman went up to the court room
yesterday thru the bacK door ana Gel.
lar He did nothing of the kind.
Two score reporters announced
their readiness to swear that the ex-
banker did not enter the building by
the front door, some even offering
affidavits.
Mrs. Stillman bore her usual cheer
full and confident manner today. She
had on a flower dotted black dress,
black straw hat and black pumps.
this somewhat sombre setting being
counteracted by cream colored stock
ings and u string of pearls.
