MAY Get Third
OF BIG ESTATE
OTHER BALDWIN HEIRS HAVE
AccEDED TO HER
DEMANDS.

San Francisco, Cal, April IL. -
When Mrs. Zelda Selby Of Oakland,
Cal, presented her claim to the Bald
win millions the other day bitter
contest was in prospect. Mrs. Selby
is the wife of prosperous candy
manufacturer and it was not until ait
er r. J. Baldwin's death that 1t be-
came generally known that Mrs. Selby
was his child. The Baldwin heirs have
now agreed to her demands and ine
will will be probated at Los Angeles
this week. Under the terms of the
Baldwin testament. Mrs. Selby was to
receive property in Los Angeles val
ued at about 100000. AS it is, 1t is
thought she will receive approximate
ly $7,O00,000 as her third of the Bald
win estate, the other heirs being two
falf-sisters.
Mrs. Selby's rights to an equal share
of the Baldwin estate are conclusive
beyond doubt. She has in her posses.
sion all the documentary evidence to
prove that her mother, woman OF
refinement and culture, the daughter
of prominent family, was the legal
wife of Baldwin at the time of his
daughters birth Mr.. Baldwin always
treated Mrs Selby with the greatest
affection. He had her reared with the
greatest care and she was educated
at his expense in the best boarding
schools of the state.
