| Mr.. Mack asked DIR. Russell to produce
his diary for 1917 and 1918. SO that he
could examine the entries from Christ
mas, 1917. to February 26. 1918. This
DIR. Russell objected to, saying he did
not care to have any one know the
names of his patients. Mr.. Mack then
directed him to examine the diary ana
see IL it showed any professional visits
made to the Stillman home during jan
rary and February of 1918.
DR.. Russell replied that he had made
two visits to Mondanne during January.
These. he said. were on January and
January 81. Mr.. Mack asked the osteo-
path to read the entries of those two
dates.

Asked II Phelps Clawson Of Buffalo
had not been treated that day and that
the name had been erased from the
diary, the osteopath said that to the
best Of his recollection he had not.
IF Mr.. Clawson had been treated and
he was a guest you would not have
put his name DOWN." Mr.. Mack asked.
"No, I would not" was the answer.
Mack Tries Memory Test.
"Is it not a fact, DR.. RUSSELL" Mr..
Mack said. "that Mr.. Clawson's name
was put down and that you remembered
afterward that he was not member
Of the family and that you then crossed
the name out?"

Here Mr.. Rand took up a redirect
examination in which DIR. Russell testi-
fed that to the best of his recollection
Mr.. Stillman was not present at Mon
dame during the two visits in January.
but that he was in New York city. The
witness testified to having attended the
banker at the latter point.
Mr.. Mack asked IL 1t was not fact
that on both occasions he drove from
Pleasantville to New York city with
Mr.. Stillman. DR.. Russell said he would
not swear to it, but that he had no rec
election he had not.
Then the entering Of Stillman's name
In the diary on January and II. was
q mistaken Mr.. Mack asked.
"Yes." was the reply.
DR.. Russell admitted he had made
more than thirty trips in all to the
Stillman estate at Pleasantville. The
diary was handed to Mr.. Gleason as
evidence
The witness on direct examination
told Of having been called by Mrs. Still
man to Grande Anse, Province of Quebec,
on September 25. 1919. He said that
when he arrived there he found the place
in general disorder, that things had
not been kept up" and that the boats
had not even been painted. Mrs. Still
man, he said, wanted him to look up the
title to the property.
Tells of Property Deal.
On October Q, 1919. DR.. Russell said
he went to st. GATHERINGS. the county
seat, with Fred Beauvais, at the re-
quest of Mrs. Stillman. and found Beau
vais had taken an option on the property
at Grande Anse in the name OF Mrs
Stillman and In his own name. Beau
| vais, the doctor added. had allowed the
option to lapse and he obtained the deed
from the guide.
Dr. Russell testified he had a blank
check In his pocket which bore the
signature of Mrs. Stillman and that he
filled it In for $500. This was given to
the persons who owned the Grande Anso
property. From st. GATHERINGS DIR.
Russell proceeded to Montreal with
Beauvais, where he was Joined by Mrs.
Stillman. The witness said he COM
planned to Mrs. Stillman that the guide
had not acted right in the real estate
transaction and criticised Beauvais Sc
verely.
Don't be too hard on Fred" DR.. Rus
sell quoted Mrs. Stillman as having said.
II will state the facts or / will have
nothing to do with the transaction" he
said he told the bankers wife.
The trio then went to a lawyers Of
flee. he continued. and were informed
that under the Canadian laws 1t was
necessary to have the authorization OF
Mr.. Stillman In the transaction before
his wife could hold real property. The
lawyer was either the personal repre-
sentative in Canada OF Mr.. Stillman or
of the National City Bank. he said.
This lawyer had a paper purporting
to be signed by James A. Stillman con-
tanning such an authorization. Mrs.
Stillman told him she had signed her
husbands name to a blank piece OF
paper but that some one else had written
In the authorization. The lawyer ex-
planned this would not do. so DR.. Russell
telephoned the phraseology OF the
authorization to Mr.. Stillman in New
York. and the banker wired to Montreal
after IL had been signed.
Fred Beauvais, according to the wit
ness, became angry. and upon his re-
turn to Grande Anse he DOTTED his
civilian clothes and put on deer skin
shirt and trousers and buckled large
revolver to his belt. Mrs. Stillman then
suggested they take a walk. he said, but
DIR. Russell, with his eye on the weapon,
declined. Beauvais walked alone.
DR.. Russell admitted. under the ques-
tioning of Mr.. Brennan. that he had
attended several conferences In the
Waldorf-Astoria and In the University
