Two new Important witnesses In the ; Bt ill man ' divorce ' scandal were discovered here today. They are two prominent men, friend of the Stjll mans, who declared they were ,pr pared to refute': James A. Stillman's attack on the legitimacy of 2-year-old Guy Stlllman. ' . ' The men, who would not permit their 'names to be used, said they were ruests at the Stlllman home, in Pocaatico bills daring the early part of 1818 and that they were prepared to swear that the multi-mill lonalre .banker and his" wife, Mrs. Tiff FoiU Stlllman. were both at that place during; that time. Letters written by the men to rela tives, mentioning; the fact that the Still- mans were together in their summer home, have been turned over to : Mrs. Stlllman la alleged to contend that 1 Guy, who was born in November. 1918, , Is the son of Fred JBeauvala. French Canadian guide, whom Mrs. Stlllman met at the Stlllman country home near Mon- treat. - f The Baffalo men, who said they knew Beauvaia, declared they would also tes tify, regarding his high character. ? gram and from that time she never left the' house without a bodyguard. "Before Mrs, Leeds decided to flee her pursuers little Jay Jr. was a familiar figure about the fashionable Flamingo i hotel " . . . r , Many ' of the guests - recall , the, blonde youngster who promised to play such , an important part in the Still man marital troubles.

Also it was learned that Cleveland villa Is said to be let to another. Mrs. Leeds was much Impressed with her new home, but recently changed her mind about purchasing it It is now back In the hands of agents with its recent oc cupants attempting to elude the spotlight of publicity. t . ..' -As far as can be learned Mrs. Leeds left - here Friday.
