 The physician is Dr. B. x. Russell, of Buffalo. It is understood that his testimony relates to the paternity of Guy Stillman, youngest child in the Stillman household.

 The other new witness is a woman. Her name and residence were kept secret.

BURROUGHS TO
 FILE APPEAL

James G. Burroughs, of Long Hill. who was sentenced to two years in Leavenworth pen1tentary by the Unit ed States court in Detroit yesterday, has not as yet filed notice of appeal. It is probable however, that such ac- ton will be taken in the very near future.
 Should an appeal be taken, Bur roughs will evade temporarily at least the prison sentence imposed upon him yesterday. From the United States court, the case will be carried directly to the Supreme court where the final decision will be made
 Eugene Shanley and Almon c. Bas- den, formerly of Bridgeport, and others who received prison sentences for their respective shares in the the international auto thief plot, have not appealed from the decision of the Dis trict court, and are now serving time in Leavenworth.
 The completion of the case, as far as the District court is concerned, ap- parently clears Detective Sergeant Frank W. Holbrook. of Bridgeport, from graft charges which were brought against him by witnesses during the trial. Alrnon c. Basden, who was convicted and sentenced by the court, testified that he saw Bur roughs give Holbrook $500. The de- tective went to Detroit, and denied the charge on the witness stand.
