Continued refusal by James A. StHl
mau to answer questions regarding
his relations with Florence II. L.oods,
former Droadway show girl, today
marked his second appearance for
cioss-cxamaniation In tho divorce
suit ho brought against tho formor
Flfl Potter.
Today, us yostorday, ho brushed
asldo all such Inquiries on tho
ground that to answor thorn might
tond to incriminate him. It was suld
that ho again declined to Bay whoth
er ho know Mrs. Leeds, whothor ho
was tho father of her son, Jay Leeds,
born in Septmnbor, 1918, or tho fath
er of a stillborn male Infant to which
sho gavo birth In November, 1919.
Repeating that tho answor might
tend to Incrmlnlato, Mr. Stillman
would not say whothor ho was pres
ent whon this second child came Into
Iho world, or when It was burled. On
tho Banio grounds, ho would not Iden
tify a photograph which counsel for
Mrs. Stillman claimed waa that ot
Mrs. Leeds.
Thoro woro prolonged argument
botweon opposing attornoys brought
about by the banker's stubborn ro
slstanco to questions and it was said
ono ot Mr. Stillman 's lawyers pro
posed to advlso him to answor If as
sured that no criminal action would
follow.
To this proposal, It was reported
that John B. Mack, guardian ad litem
for tho Infant Guy Stillman, whoso
legitimacy was questioned by tho
banker, would not agroo. He mado
'It cloar, It was said, that if he could
gathor sufficient evidence ho would
bring criminal charges against tho
banker at the conclusion ot the dl
vorco suit.
During hiB cross-examination Mr.
Stillman admitted hat he gave Mrs,
Stillman a ruby ring valued at sov
oral thousand dollars just one weok
after the birth of Guy Stillman In
Novembor, 1918. And at Christmas
that yoar ho tostlflod that ho pre
