Stillman on the charges Of unfalthful-
ness brought against her by her hug

president. she Will continue the fight
to clear her name even If 1t means the
repetition Of the mass OF old stories
and the addition of new ones in ali

attorneys are confident, II lis learned,
that the decision Of tho referee. which
will be filed late this week at Carmel.
n. T., will prove to be a sweeping tri-
umph for her over her husband. But
unless the sooty gray of the charges
and counter-charges which made the
case known so widely clings only to
the namo OF James A. Stillman, who
WIS responsible for the divorce action,
