REYNOLDS FORTUNE
MILLIONS FOR INFANTS. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] WINSTON SALEM (N. Carolina), December 27. Another interesting division of the famous Reynolds tobacco fortune occurred to-day, when Libby Holman, the singer, whose marriage to E. Smith Reynolds, the young heir of the estate, was cut short by his mysterious death in July, 1932, accepted for her infant son, Christopher, seven million dollars as his share of his father’s fortune. Christopher is receiving two million dollars less than his half-sister, Ann. The settlement is especially interesting in view of the fact that Libby Holman was acquitted on the charge of murdering her husband, and that rhe fought a long legal battle against the efforts of Reynolds’ former wife to secure the entire 25 million dollar fortune for her daughter Ann.
