CHARGES HOTEL MAN
WITH DEFAMATION
Mrs. Joan Woodbury. Demands
100000 Damages From
Robert ID. Blackman.

Robert D. Blackman, operator of the
Belleclaire and San Reno hotels and
country club and secretary or the
Hotel Mems Association, is defendant
in an action begun yesterday IN the
Supreme Court by Mrs. Joan Wood
bury, who, with her husband Elmer #.
Woodbury.. operates the Richelieu Hotel
in San Francisco, for 100000 damages
because of alleged defamatory state
ments about her and Mr.. Woodbury.
The Woodburys ran the Belleclaire from
1910 to 1912. promoting Blackman from
room clerk to assistant manager and
otherwise placing confidence In him,
she saws.
Mrs. " adbury alleges that by "knav-
cry and connivance" with others Black
man secretly sought their undoing, so
that their venture went bankrupt. He
induced q friend Of hers to refuse finan-
cial support and induced guests to with
hold payment of their bills so her COM
pany would not be able to meet Its
obligations, she alleges. Herman J.
Witte, her attorney. said the financial
setback was so severe the Woodburys
were forced to live in one small fur
nished room.
Mrs Woodbury. said she started the ac-
ton to clear her name and Mr.. Wood
bury's for the sake of their five year old
daughter Joan. One alleged defamation
was that she took money from an elderly
woman guest of the Belleclaire on pre-
tence of getting her into home for the
aged but never did so, the complaint
states. Another was that she and her
husband did so many crooked things
during their control Of the Belleclaire
that they were afraid" to enter the
State for fear of prosecution.
Mrs. Woodbury. is stopping at 925 Park
avenue pending settlement of her action.

TO FIGHT STILLMAN
ON HIS SWORN WORD
Wife's Lawyers See Chance to
Attack His Affidavit Accom-
panying Complaint.

Mrs. Anne Urquhart Potter Stllman's
lawyers are planning to force her hus-
band to explain why he said. in his af-
fidavit accompanying his complaint. that
he had neither known Of nor condoned
Mrs. Stillman's alleged intimacy with
Fred Beauvais
They plan to show him that he bases
his complaint and petition for divorce
upon what he was told long before the
birth of the boy Guy and upon the let
ter Mrs. Stillman is alleged to have
written him from Buffalo after her con-
ference with Dr. Hugh l.. Russell. Then
they will show that he and Mrs. Still
man continued to live together for nine
months after the letter was written. and
on Christmas. 1918. a month after the
birth of Guy, he presented to his wife
one OF Maxfield Parrish's oils, The
Sleeping Beauty" for which he is al
legged to have paid $4,000.
From a person closely allied with the
case Il became known yesterday that
Mrs. Stillman will tell the referee that
the banker told her that he was going
to divorce her unless she agreed to go
to Paris make her home there and
agree never to return to America. She
replied that she would not accede to
such terms and charged him with being
forced to take such measures by some
other woman.
He is allegef TO have replied TO the
effect that If she didn't leave America
he would involve her i'm a suit that
would mean unpleasant publicity. Then
according to the programme now out
lined by Mrs. Stillman's lawyers, it viii
be shown that Mr.. Stilman was urged
by Florence 1.awlor Leeds to institute
the divorce proceedings at once In order
that he might marry the former chorus
girl. -
But the same Guthority has it. Mrs.
Stillman forced his hand and then
greatly surprised him by fighting back.
Now Mrs. Stillman says that her hus-
band could not abandon the fight II he
wanted to. inasmuch as she insists upon
seeing IL through.
