This is the manner in which
Doris E. Faulkner characterizes
the mentality of her husband, Da-

Mrs. Faulkner is essentially a
modern woman. She believes in

Beauvais Denies He
Sold Stlhman Letters

Montreal. May l3.-Specihc denial
that he had ever sold any letters to
lawyers Of James A. Stillman. who
is suing his wife for divorce. was
made today by Fred Beauvais, In
dian guide. At Poughkcepsie yes
terday it was stated in court that
Beauvais had sold four letters ad-
dressed to him by Mrs. Stillman for
$4,000.
Beauvais said he had seen nobody
connected with the Stillman case
this week in Montreal; that he had
never received any special letters as
were described in court; that he did
not know Edmund Leigh, the de-
tective said to have paid him the
money. and that the whole thing
was untrue from beginning to end.
Beauvais, accused by Stillman of
being the father of the boy, Guy,
said Mrs. Stillman was an "abso-
lutcly pure and innocent woman"
