ings of witnesses in October may not
be held, the entire proceedings rop-
ped, and he win go to Paris. Abroad,
II is learned, he plans to file his sem
sational charges against his wlic and
baby.
News Of Stlllman's plans to trans
fer the legal fight to Paris came out
as a result Of inquiries about the
reasons for his recent disposal Of
vast Texas properties, the placing Of
Jay Leeds In an orphan asylum and
other significent developments.
From an authoritative source, it
was learned that S,illman is trying
to persuade his counsel 20 agree to
the change.

Testimony will be offered that
James A. Stnlman has been going
out with Flo Leeds since the last
hearings Of the divorce action SilN-
man brought against his wife, and
his infant son, Baby Guy on whom
he has cast the bar sinister.
The meetings of the banker have
been frequent since the last hear
inEs It ls charged, Before that time
Flo Leeds kept out Of New York
fearing the subpoena servers Of Mrs
Su!lman. who sought her as an un-
willing witness in the proceedings
Rut that fear vanished last July
when the hearings were postponed
until October II.
About the .ime Flo Leeds came
back to Westchester county James
A. Stillman quit going to the Ma
tional CITY bank. Instead he went
TO the offices of his father, a few
doors to the west of the big bank
Here he started quietly to dis
pose of his various real estate hold
ings 40 he would be able 10 leave
the country when the divorce actor
