Anna U. Stillman will file to the di
vorce action brought by James A. Still
man, president of the National City
Bank, now pending before Justice
Morschauser at Poughkeepsie, sets up
charges similar to those which the
banker brought against lier when he
named Ferd Beau vain, a guide, as co
respondent. It was learned yesterday
that Mrs. Stillman names a* core
spondent a Mrs. Florence H. Leeds,
alleging that her husband was Inti
mate with Mrs. Leeds during a period
of more than two years, and that a
son known as Jay Leeds and now 31
months old, was born as a result of
that Intimacy.
It was said yesterday by a man
thoroughly conversant with the details
of the Stillman case that Mrs. Stillmam
is not going to set up counter allega
tions, as had been re-ported, but will
embody her charges in a stronger de
fence. The reason for this action b.
said to be thi> fact that a trial of the
case might result in a draw, whereas
by merely making the allegations a
part of the defence Mrs. Stillman will
be free to use them as a basis Tor a
future suit for divorce in the event of
her husband failing to win his present
action.
The amended answer to Mr. Stlllman's
complaint, '.t was learned, mentions an
apartment in 34 Kast Eighty-sixth street
and a country plac>.: at Stony Brook. L.
