Son of Indian Guide-Hearing
NdjOurns.

NEW YORK. May 6.-Dr. Hugh Rus
sell. an oSteopath. of Buffalo. \. y. testl-
fed Yesterday i'm the hearing in the Shl-
man divorce suit at the New York City
Par association that Mrs Anne Trquhart
StiIIman. defendant in the action, had
told him i'm ApriI 1918, six months before
the birth of Guy Stillman, her youngest
son. that James A. Stillmau. her husband,
was not the father of the child she eX-
ppcted but that its father was Fred Is.
Beauvais. the half-breed Indian guide
named as correspondent in the action.
DR.. RuSSelI's testimony, of double i'm
portauce because of its bearing on both
the divorce action proper and the legltl-
macy of Guy Stillman. which Mr.. Still
man has attacked. was admitted after n
bitter legal battle of between four and
five hours. during which time Mrs. Still
mans counsel used every effort to get
Referee Daniel J. Gleason to exclude it
on the ground that conversation between
q physician and q patient was privileged.
Dr. Russell was finally permitted to
testify concerning his conversation with
Mrs. Stllman after he had said the III
formation she gave him was not necessary
for the treatment Of her ease. 1t was
explained after the hearing that while
the law regards such conversations with Il
priest or lawyer as privileged, ii accords
some leeWay to physician by preScrib-
between a patient and a physician is
privileged which is necessary for treat
mcnt of the case. The phraseOlogy of the
statute it was said practically permits
the physician to be the judge of what he
considers privileged, and it was said by
Mr.. StillmauS attorneys that DR.. Russell
himself opened the door for his testimony
when ne declared that what Mrs. Stillman
had told him was not necessary for her
treatment
As on the preceding day, Airs, Stillman
attended the hearing and heard Dr. Rus
sells testimony. Her attorneys displayed
great indignation both in the hearing and
after it was over. 1t was said that DIR.
Russell's testimony had made them
more determined than ever to launch q
cOunter-attack upon Stillman.
After Or. RusSelTS testimony the hear
ing was adjourned until May -. 1t was
said that it would probably take three
more days to complete Mr.. StilImau'S case
after which a large number of witnesses
for Mrs. Stilmau would testify at a time
to be fixed later The hearings. it was
said. would continue to be held in secret
