Vhotlier Woman
Discovered In
Stillman Case
in
Fresh Sensation Disclosed
Matrimonial Tangle of
Well-Known New York
Family.
tlili-ago Tribune-Omaha De Leased Wire.
New York, March 19. The James
A. Stillman divorce sensation ,took
another turn late today. The search
light disclosed a second woman who
is reported to have figured in the
personal affairs of Mr. Stillman, just
prior to the advent of Mrs. Florence
II. Leeds.
Like Mrs. Leeds, her predecessor
is described as a show girl. In fact,
she is said to have brought Mr.
Stillman and Mrs. Leeds together
i arly in 1917. while Mrs. Leeds ap
peared on the Century theater bills
as plain Florence Leeds, in the role
of "Chicken."
According to the informants, the
ccond woman is known thus far
only as "Edna.". She is supposed to
have been a "pony" in the Century
show ati the same time Florence
Leeds cavorted before the footlights.
Up in Foughkecpsie, where the
legal aspects of Mr. Stillman's suit
and Mrs. StHlman's answer are drip
' ping out, it is stated that this "Edna"
; girl was maintained in a luxurious
' npartment, similar to the style which
' Mrs. Leeds later enjoyed.
Mrs. Leed's Successor.
In fact, Mrs. Leeds is"mentioned
liy divorce persons as the actual
successor of "Edna." Numerous the
atrical people had smatterings of
these joint affairs at the time and
expected jealousies to bring the mat
n into publicity, but nothing oc
f?v!urrcd' until Mr. Stillman filed his
' ; suit for divorce.
One indication that persons in "so-
ciety" and other places where they
I might have gleaned knowledge of
V the movements of the banker are en-
deavoring to assist Mrs. Stillman in
j her defensive fight, was the admis
I sion in Foughkecpsie by John E.
Mack, guardian for Guy Stillman,
who said he had received at least
1 six letters, some anonymous, giv-
ing information of material aid to
? the case ofthe infant and Mrs. Stall
man. ; , .
Similar letters have been sint to
Mrs. Stillman, some of them at Lake
- Wood. N. J., and others have gone
to John F. Brenrnm, YonKers at
torney, retained by the defense. In
some of these missives mention was
made of another girl, - 1
Lawler Denies Report.
While Tames S. Lawler, plumber,
denies "Florence Leeds' is his
daughter, neighbors and friends ton
firmed that there is no mistake m
Identity. Lawler and others of his
family deny they ever had a daugh
ter named Florence or any other
daughter who went on the stage. '
. Anotherlegal maneuver in the di
vorce case will be staged in White
Plains Wednesday, when arguments
will be heard on the question ot
$10,000 a month alimony and counsel
ftes for Mrs. Stillman. John F.
Crennati, one of Mrs. Stillman's at
i.irnevs. secured dn order for this
rearing from Judge Morschauser at
hite Flams today. - .
Mrs. Stillman's attorneys hope
thev will be afforded an opportunity
to "question Mr. Stillman about his
$880,000 a year income and the
$9 000.000 trust fund left by his
father with a provision that it be di
vided among the grandchildren.
' Thev hope, too, to quiz Mr. Still
"man about the stories of "Mrs.
Leeds" and others and particularly
the Leeds' baby.
The hearing Wednesday is the
.move that was "indefinitely post
poned," by agreement of both sides
a few days ago. Reports were
..heard then that an agreement to
I ji'rop the divorce action had been
I Vcached, inspired by the publicity bc-
ing given.
; Today's developments is taken to
mean there will be no settlement out
of court and that Mrs. Stillman is
going through to the finish with her
"counter defense" to the charges of
11 r. Stillman.
