The mother and sister are suing a brokerage house and Leslie B. Henry, investment broker, who was sent to San Quentin prison. Witnesses for the brokerage firm told of elaborate entertainment given Mrs. Shelby and her family after they were considered 'sewed up tightly for the house.' Attorneys say they're going to bring into the case the unsolved mystery murder of William Desmond Taylor, ace film director, and close friend of Miss Minter in the days when he guided her career on the screen."
