Like other rumors and stories growing
out Of the case. this one lacks verifica-
ton.
An Indian boy named Joe was brought
forth in a rather vague way. Lawyers
on both sides disavowed intention of
making a witness OF Joe. But he is
about IL years old and was fetched
from the Stillman camp in Quebec in
1917 10 Pocantico Hills to be n play
mate for young Alexander Stiilman,
who is about the same age. Joe came
down TO Pocantico Hills in the fall OF
1917 and stayed there until February,
when Mr. and Mrs. Stillman took up
their residence in the Hotel st. Regis
in Fifth avenue Joe was taken IN
charge by friends OF the Stillmans and
left for Quebec some time in March,
1918
Mrs. Stillman took him to Canada and
Ferd Beauvais. who was registered at
the st. Regis as an instructor for the
Stillman children. went along. When
Mrs Stillman returned TO New York
she IS alleged TO have written the re-
jected "hysterical' letter which her hiIs-
band tried TO have accepted as evidence
by Justice Morschauser.
Now it develops that Mr. Stiilman
and Florence Leeds were asked TO leave
Rest Court, the cottage at Stony Brook.
L. J., after the owners. Mr.. and Mrs.
Pitts Duffield. OF 131 East Sixty-sixtn
street. discovered that Franklin Harold
Leeds was none other than James A.
Srllman. Florence Leeds was installed
in Rest Court In the summer OF 1919.
The story has it that friend OF Mrs
Dufiied went to her and said that she
was never 90 amazed in her life as she
was when she saw Mr. Leeds who had
taken the Duffield place at Stony Brook.
Her amazement. she added, was born OF
the fact that she recognized in Mr. Leeds
none other than James a. Stillman OF
the National City Bank. 1t Is said that
Mrs. Duffield caused Investigation TO be
made. The reports upon that investiga-
tion resulted In the request that the
house be vacated at once.

Syracuse Man Believed to Have
knowledge of Alleged Ro-

A fourth woman was added TO the
ever increasing cast of the Stillman ro-
nance yesterday. Who she is, where
she is and the details of her alleged
association with the president of the
National City Bank were facts omitted
from the story issuing from an au-
thority on the case.
But, according TO the story, she is
to take her place beside Florence
Lawlor Leeds and the other unnamed
woman in the accommodating affidavits
Mrs. Stillman is preparing for ad
dendum to her original counter charges
and amendment thereto. At any rate
detectives operating in the interests OF
Mrs. Stillman have been gathering
data concerning this new woman and
are promising definite results and even
confessing affidavits within a short
time. The first intimation Mrs. Still
mans lawyers had of her existence, it
was said. arrived in anonymous let
ters that turned out to be founded
upon facts. This additional woman is
said to have enjoyed the friendship of
Mr.. Stillfdan before Florence Leeds
arrived upon the scene. The success
of Miss Leeds. the story goes. did not
serve to sweeten the temper of her
predecessor.
That Mrs. Stillman is determined to
add to her ccuntercharges appears GER
tain. on the other hand, De Lancey
Nicoll and Cornelius j. Sullivan began
to send out for new witnesses who
might bolster up the half-discredited
Beauvais letters. From Syracuse came
Spencer II Lewis. a senior in Syracuse
University, TO be questioned by Mr.. Sui.
Ivan concerning his knowledge of Fred
Beauvais. With Lewis appeared Har
low Il. Ansell, a Syracuse lawyer. who
represents the interests of Lewis.
Lewis and Beauvais are close friends.
Messrs. Nicoll and Sullivan were of the
opinion that men of such close friend
ship must have exchanged condolences
and that it would not have been un-
natural for Beauvais to have mentioned
Mrs Stillman to his friend. II is about
such condolences that the lawyers de-

The ether problem is nothing new TO
Miss Long. She has wrestled with 1t off
and on for years and with the help OF
her staff Is in a fair way OF conquering
il so far as her school is concerned.
She said to-day that exaggerated reports
must not go out. The fact was that only
six out Of the 720 children IN her care
probably have been doped with ether
although in a few other cases it's use
was suspected. She has about given up
trying to reason with the mothers OF
these children. They are so muddled
themselves by the habit that they insist
It's good for the youngsters.
She finds the fathers more responsive.
Few OF the men are addicted TO ether.
Miss Long says: in fact they hate 1t.
But to the mothers. in the cases under

The odor is prodigious. but ladies learn

Yet. so far as / can find out. the
mothers do not deliberately give ether
to their children Miss Long says.
"They do II when they are stupefied, or
