0tllInlan QlVOrce case closed with a &
sensation today when a detective +
hired by James A. Stillnan. New
York banker and plaintiff testified
that he and Outerbridge Horsey. one
of Mr.. Stillman's lawyers. had paid
$4,000 to Fred Beauvais. Indian
guide, named as correspondent for
four letters alleged to have been
written to Beauvias by Mrs. Anne U.
Stillman.
The purchase or the letters from
Beauvias, who Mr.. StiYlman contends
is the father of three year old Guy
Stillman, was made in Montreal last
week, the detective Edmund Leigh.
said. 1t was arranged through
James Sheall. a New York newspaper
man, Leigh explained.
The letters, replete with terms OF {
endearment and such expressions as
II love every pore of your skin, and
when can We get married. were
accepted in evidence after Mrs. Still F
man had denied writing them. She
sWore the handwriting was not her
own, but Harriet Hibbard house, F
keeper for Mr.. Stillman looked at
them and then said that to the best
of her recollection the handwriting
was Mrs. Stillman's.
Beauvais demanded $25, 900 for the
letters, Leigh testified, but after sew
eral days of negotiations he accepted
$4,000. He described dramatic con-
ferences with the guide and Shean
and said he promised Beauvais that
he would say the letters were among
those stolen some time ago when
packet kept by the guide was rIfled.
You lied to Beauvias. theng"
asked one OF Mrs. Stillman's LAWYERS.
Yes" said Leigh. Il would have
told any lie to get letters from q man
Of the character of Beanvais
Many times during the trial OF the
case Beauvais was active in getting
witnesses to testify in his behalf and
that of Mrs. Stillman. In Canada
only a few weeks ago he corralled
witnesses to contradict testimony
that he and Mrs. Stillman had been
guilty of misconduct
The letters We're considered bv Mr..
Stiilman's lawyers. IL was learned as
among the strongest evidence they
have introduced to prove their con-
teution that Guy Stillman IS iilegi-
innate and to cineh their allegation
that Mrs. Stillnlan was unfaifhfuI ia
her husband in her relations with the
Indian.
But Mrs. Stillman seemed unruf-

Content to Rest Case
Il have rested my case.s she said
T am content to rest it on the testi-
mony of a gentleman who stands or
did stand at the head OF finance OF
the greatest bank in the greatest
city in the world. And he fought
with gold. The testimony Of his
own witness as he closed his case
was that he paid $4,000 for four
worthless scraps of paper. I haye
nothing further to say I am con-
tent TO await the verdict. .
One of the letters said to have been
bought from Beauvais read:
