In a stunning display of defiance, Anne Irqurt Potter Stillman, wife of embattled financier James A. Stillman, has sent a scathing telegram to her husband, effectively ending a months-long truce between the couple. The message, dispatched from Montreal, Canada, yesterday, reads: ‘Today standing in the snow of Canada, I know what you tried to do to me and from the North, I hurl my wrath upon your feet. Gold against courage, James, I’m ready for you.’ The vitriolic language is a far cry from the icy silence that had pervaded their relationship since March 1920.
