The fact that Mrs. Anne u. Stillman
has never taken the witness stand
to deny the allegations Of her hus-
band, James A. Stillman, was en-
fphasized in the Appellate Division in
brooklyn yesterday by attorneys for
the former banker, arguing the appeal
from Justice Joseph S. Morschauser'
order granting Mrs. Stillman addi-
tional alimony. The lawyers claimed
that further allowances were not tusti-
fled unless she showed reasonable
probability of success in the suit" and
they raised the question as to whether
the 100000 alimony granted her nine
months ago should not be used to
defray the costs of litigation. Justice
Morschauser had granted Mrs. Still
man $500 additional for counsel fees.
Almet Il. jerks. formerly presiding
Justice Of the Appellate Division. argued
tie case for the former banker. His
presentation brought out many bits Of
the evidence which have hitherto been
kept sealed by the courts, among them
an allegation that Mrs. Stillman had
substituted for her wedding ring a ring
given to her by Fred Beauvais, tho
Canadian guide named by Mr.. Stillman
as correspondent. He also read the
Dear. dear Freddie" letter, and another
alleged to have been sent to Mrs Still
man by the guide signed Fired" and ad-
dressed to Dearest Annie" These let
ters follow:
