THE BEE: OMAHA, SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 1921. Chief Counsel of Mrs. Stillman to Quit Case Soon Reported Determination of J. B. Stanchfield to With draw Actuated Only by Condition of Health. New York, June 4. It is confi dently expected that within 24 hours John B. Stanchfield, attorney for Mrs. Anne U. Stillman in the di vorce proceedings brought by her husband, will announce his retire ment from the case. The reported determination on Mr. Stanchfield's part has been known to the other attorneys on Mrs. Stillraan's side of the action ever since May 27. when she en gaged John F. Brennan of Yonk ers as her personal attorney. Mr. Stanchfield felt that this ac tion on her part would permit him to retire in order that he might de vote more time to recuperation from an illness which has long annoyed him by its recurrence. Mr. Stanch field has been a severe sufferer from neuritis since last February, and early this spring was compelled to come to New York from his home at Islip to be nearer his physician. He wants now to be free from exacting legal work during the summer months so that his health may be benefitted by a sojourn in some other climate. It was after the last meeting of counsel at Poughkcepsie before Ref eree Daniel J. Gleason that Mr. Stanchfield is said to have stated definitely his intention to retire from the case, though he was urged by his colleagues to remain.
