nan was that the defence will go into

battle with the presentation of only two
women in the case. These are Mrs.
Leeds and Clara"
In answer to a question as to whether
he would call Fred Beauvais, the Indian
guide. to assist in the defence, Mr.
Brennan said he had not yet come to a
conclusion. He was then asked whether
criminal proceedings were contemplated
against Mr.. Stfllman and Mrs. Leeds, and
replied that the defence had been too
busy to consider that angle of the case"
Justice Keogh refused to vacate a stay
granted Monday at New Rochelle at the
|
Outerbridge Horsey, for immediate re-
sumption of the hearings, and then set
the date announced.
Mr.. Stillman's lawyers appeared before

formed the referee that Justice Keogh
had granted a stay. The proceedings
were purely technical and did not last
more than five minutes.

effect that Mrs. Stillman found herself
greatly at odds with John B. Stanch-
field in the recent peace" negotiations

felt Mrs. StiIlman should have accepted
certain conditions laid down by her hus-
band and that she refused to do so.

Mr.. Stillman was that his wife reside
outside the United States. preferably
