Stillman confirmation that her husband has agreed to give her a divorce. Thu interview, appearing as a copyrighted dispatch in today's issue of the World, speaks of a "gVeat change" which has come over James A. StillI man, the multl-mllliqnaire banker. Stillman, the dispatch says, was Fowler McCormick, the son of Harold McCormick, of' Chicago. Both are described as denying “singly and together any intention of marrying." \ The did not deny, however, "the great bond of sympathy between them." “I am too old and he is too young," Mrs. Stillman is quoted as replying to the direct question whether she and McCormick planned to marry. Mrs. Stillman is pictured as believing that several factors, principally Hie elimination of Florence Leads from the marital disturbances, have conspired to make her husband change his mind and grant her a divorce. She is further quoted as sayng that everything is agreed .upon but tlie financial settlement. When the text of the interview was read to Isaac N. Mills, local attorney for Mrs. Stillman, he said lie was "sure there is some mistake." He declined to say specifically that her reported statemeuts were correct or incorrect* Neither Stillman nor his attorney could be reached.

Infection from the wounds inflicted during the alleged attack of Stephenson caused blood poisoning which spread to the girl’s vital organs. Dr. Moon testified. This infection and tlie effects of bichloride of mercury poisoning caused her death, he said. The wound from which the infection developed was on the girl's left breast and had the appearance of being caused by teeth, according to the expert s testimony. Wounds caused by biting very frequently bring on serious infection, the doctor said. His testimony was the most serious blow to the defense has received in the trial. it has been Hie contention of the defense that Miss Oberholtzer's death .'». _ ■ i :
