into the controversial death Of
20-year-old Smith Reynolds
will be public when it is re-
sumed early this afternoon.

nesses, including that of the for.
mer Libby Holman, Broadway
singer and widow Of the dead
youth, has been revealed.
q Libby on Stand Again
Mrs. Libby Holman Reynolds
will be questioned for the second
time today at the inquest.
She was still in custody as a
material witness as was 19-year-
old Alb Walker, friend of young
Reynolds. Walker was one of the
house guests at the party on the
Reynolds estate which preceded
the shooting.
Young Walker, who has been
fairly composed since he was
held as material witness, had
a weeping spell shortly before
he was transferred from Jail.
It was learned today that Miss
Blanche Yurka, actress friend Of
Mrs. Reynolds, had testified earl
ier that shortly before she heard
the shot at ! a. m. on July 6,
she had come downstairs for a
glass of milk and saw Walker
in the reception room.
She also testified that after
she heard the shot she ran from
her bed room to the sleeping
porch where Walker and Mrs.
Reynolds joined her.
Walker carried the dying man
to a balcony and then she and
Walker helped carry him to an
automobile downstairs. Mrs. Rey-

to the hospital.
Slight Discrepancy
Walker testified, it was learned,
that after he heard the shot he
was downstairs and saw Mrs.
Reynolds come to the staircase

There was a minor discrepancy
in the testimony of Miss Yurka
and Walker. The latter said Miss
Yurka helped him from the first
to carry the body downstairs.
Aside from Miss Yurka, Walker
and F. Raymond Kramer. tutor to
Smith, there was another person
staying at the home that night
after the party was over. She
was Mrs. william Vaught, comely
young widow.
Testimony in connection with
the investigation will be taken in
the million-dollar home on Rey-
nolda, estate which young Rey-
noldS inherited with his brother
and two sisters from his father,
the late j. j. Reynolds, tobacco
king.
The previous testimony has
been termed by officials as "sen-

There are four possible YER

PARIS, July II (I.N.S.).
At no time was the United
States informed officially that
a secret "gentlemen's agree
ment" throwing the repara-
tions problem into Americas
lap was being drafted, Inter
national News Service learned
this afternoon.
The agreement was drawn up
by Prime Minister J. Ramsay
Macdonald of Britain and Pre-
mier Edouard Herriott of France
after the reparations conference
was nearly wrecked by Chancellor
Franz Won Papen's withdrawal Of
his plan for a political and mill
tary alliance between Germany
and France.
Secrecy Opposed
The pact, making the Lausanne
treaty null and void unless the
United States cancelled or dras-
tically reduced war debts, was
finally approved by Italy and
Belgium, although these nations
originally wanted the agreement
embodied openly in the Lausanne
document.
It was a delicate situation. All
agreed it was dangerous to keep
the agreement secret, but at
length decided it would be i'm.
possible to make it public.
AS a consequence, the secret
agreement was written down in
a letter addressed to Chancellor
Won Papen and signed by the
signatories of the Lausanne
Treaty.
Armed Alliance Fails
PremierS Macdonald and Her.
riot went to work on the secret
pact Immediately after Won Papen
returned to Lausanne from Ber-
lin and reported that German
public opinion would not consent
to his projected military alliance.
The British prime minister saw
the carefully nurSed conference
falling about his head. Unable to
induce Herriot to come to any
settlement with Germany, he put
forward the idea of a secret
agreement.
Americans in COnfab
Prior to this action he con-
ferred with United States Am
bassador Hugh Gibson and Nor
man Davis, expert on the Amer
ican disarmament delegation, but
there is no reason to believe he
officially informed the United
States Of the plan.
HerriOt Yields
Premier Herriot, it was said,
at first opposed the idea. He
wished to make his commitments
dependant only upon ratification
by the French Parliament. He
agreed, however, to the British
proposal on condition that Brit
ain and France stand squarely
against the United States on the
subject Of war debts.
AS a result of this diplomacy,
carried on under cover while the
world was hailing the Lausanne
agreement as a great sacrifice on
the part of the former allied ma.
