REYNOLDS FORTUNE
TOBACCO MILLIONS LEGAL BATTLE ENDS. MYSTERY RECALLED. CUnited Press Association—By Electric Telegraph. — Copyright .] (Received 9.30 a.m.) NEW YORK, December 28.‘ A message from Winston, Salen, North Carolina, states that another interesting development has occurred in the famous case of the Reynolds tobacco fortune. Lybby Holman, opera singer, whose marriage to Fred Smith Reynolds, a young heir to the estate, was cut short by his mysterious death in July, 1932, has accepted for her infant son Christopher, a sum of 7,000,000 dollars as his share in his father’s fortune.
Christopher is receiving 2,000,000 dollars less than his half-sister. The Reynolds settlement is especially interesting in view of the fact that Lybby Holman was acquitted of a charge of murdering her husband and then fought a long legal battle against the efforts of Mr Reynolds’ former wife to secure the entire fortune of 25,000,000 dollars for her daughter, Anne.
