Girl Witness
I'm Stillman
Suit MISSING
Continued from pauo enc

nots in the mystery Of limited secrecy
and 4 make my stand clear in this ex-
traordinary sensation.
II recall that Mr.. Stillman has a very
powerful and winning personality. Ho
was very attractive to women generally,
with resulting enmity and jealousy OF
some men.
"Mr. Stillman has already stated that
some OF his own supposed friends be-
trayed him. All circumstanc make
tne case extremely sensational and Mr..
Suliman's position particularly unenvi-
able. understand they were separated
as early as 1913. Mrs. Stillman not
only has the support of her many per
sonal friends, but exclusive society as
we'll, which would resent the possible
intrusion OF common outsider into the
sanctified midst. Let this conclude the
s'"temene. VIOLA CLARK"
Wife May Name Another Woman
Following the naming Of Miss Clark
as possible witness in the case yes
tefday came the announcement from
an authoritative source that Mrs Still
man was considering a new step in
defense and would probably ask per-
mission to further amend her amended
answer to take in the name of ut least
one woman other than Mrs. Leeds.
John +. Brennan, litigation attorney
for Mrs. Stillman, said last night:
Ihe amended answer of Mrs. Still
man remains exactly as it was when
1T was filed with Justice Morschouser.
There have been no changes in the
record and there will be none until
Justice Morschauser has decided the
question of alimony and counsel fees.
l VIII not say that there will be no
change in Mrs. Stillmans answer after
this decision has been handed down."
The fact that no additional affidavits
have been filed IN the case does not nee
essarlly mean that the afiidavits now on
hle will be all the testimony that will
be introduced to support her answer"
said another attorney.
1T Is known that the defense has a
score of witnesses in and around Long
Island, New York and Miami, Fla,
where Mr.. Stillman's yacht Modesty
lay at anchor near handsome seaside
home. said to have been occupied by
Mrs. Leeds and her son, Jay Leeds, and
a maid.
Directors Of the National City Bank,
of which James A. Stillman is presi-
dent, held their regular meeting yes
terday without any mention being
made of Mr. Stillman's protfered resig-
nation, which had been refused at a
previous meeting. The directors were
in session only for about ten minutes
and on adjournment it's was reported
that only. routine matters had been
considered.
Expects to Prove Child's Legitimacy
Mr.. Mack will make no immediate
eifort to .,, NE any petition in behalf
OF Guy Stillman, his ward. He is
known, however, to be exerting every
effort to establish the legitimate birth
OF the child, and said yesterday that
he was satisfied that the divorce action
would result in the conclusive proof
tnat Guy Stlllman was the son of James
Stlilman, and not Of Fred Beauvais.
as hi, has been alleged by Mr.. Stillman.
inns proof hinges on an alibi said
20 nave been established by Beauvais.
Mr.. Mack said last night:
AT the proper time we are prepared
TO prove by competent evidence that
James A. Stillman is the father of the
child, Guy Stillman. We will show
definitely that the Stillmans lived on
compatible terms for long time before
and after the birth of Guy in Novem-
per, 1918. This proof will include the
tes stlmony of members of the Stllman
nousehold and Off friends who visited
the Stlllmans at their abode in Pecan
tico Hills and alta Three Rivers Que
