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.

tf you don't, she belongs to us. Put
h there by midnight Friday."
The girl was last seen at 12:15 p.

George inferred such woman's

Harding. . .
"I may say," President Harding
said, "that in the closing of music
week, you have brought toj me the
most remarkable climax I nave ever
known in music. I have heard music
in its various forms. I have heard
the croon of the young mother to her
hopeful in the cradle; the great
choruses- with their trained voices,
the great bands and orchestras, but I
have never heard such music as from
the sparkling voices of the children
of the capital city. It is the supreme
music of all my life.''
