MRS. STILLMAN VICTOR IN APPELLATE RULING
Banker Himself Guilty and Not Entitled to Divorce
 Decree

New York, March 14.-In appellate
 division Of the supreme court ir
 Brooklyn today unanimously upheld
 the recent findings of Referee Gleason
 in favor of Mrs. Anne U. Stillman
 wife of James A. Stillman. former
 head of the National City bank, in defense of her divorce suit. 1 The court affirmed the findings of
 the lower court and of the referee
 that Mir. Stillman was guilty of adul- ! tery and not entitled to a judgment
 of divorce according to the evidence and that Baby Guy Stillman had not been proved illegitimate as the for mer banker had alleged.
 The findings of the lower court and referee ''as 10 the innocence of Mrs. stillman are immaterial and unneces- sary. today's decision declared and were ordered stricken out.
 "The judgment in this respect does not depend upon a finding that the adult defendant (Mrs. Stillman) was innocent of wrongdoing. nor is such a finding necessary to support it." the appellate division held. "A finding to the contrary would not change the result. Under these circumstances, the findings of the court and referee as to the innocence of the adult de- fendant are immaterial and unneces- sary, and are therefore stricken out. The judgment as thus modified. and the order, are unanimously affirmed with costs"
 The findings of the court and ref cree that the plaintiff (Mr Stillman) was guilty of adultery and not entitled to a Judgment of divorce arc ampiy supported by the evidence" the deci. sion continued, "In fact, it is undis. puted and hence these findings are af- firmcd.
 50 far as the question of the legl. timacy Of the child is concerned, this court also affirms the findings of tho court and referee, our conclusion . ing that the evidence fails to estaD. lish his illegltimaey."
 John r. Brennan. attorney for Mrs. declared that he would make TO move until he had received a copy Of the decision, 'fts good doci- son." was his only comment
 Isaac N. Mills, associated with ! Brennan as counsel for Mrs. Stilman. l asserted the decision established her ! full rights as Mir. Stillmans wife. and ] entitled her to the support that was .o be expected from such man in such position in life.
 If Mrs. Stillman does not sue for iivorce and Mir. Stillman does not rec use to support hcr, there will be no urther litigation" he said.
 Both attorneys refused to divulgc Mrs. Stillman's whereabouts and de- dared they did not know if she would tart n divorce action. Mills said tho Iecision yindicated his client and cN- pressed the opinion that it left no round for appeal
