Daniel Reid Accused of Being Narcotic Addict for Five Years
New York May 7
That Daniel G. Reid, the "tin plate king," and pioneer in the field of America's present day great monopolies, was a narcotic addict during the last four or five years of his life, was indicated in a suit filed here which came to light only today.
The financier, whose wealth was estimated at one time at $40,000,000, became a slave to narcotics during his later years and spent large sums in an effort to cure himself of the habit, to which his eccentricitries, during the five years preceding his death, which puzzled and at times alarmed his friends and Wall street associates, now are attributed, according to papers filed against the executors of Reid's estate--Mrs Rhea Reid Topping and Roberts Walker.
The case has been reached by Supreme Court Justice Mahoney and set for trial tomorrow.
The founder of the American Can Company and chairman of its board of directors spent much of his time in his declining years in a sanatorium and under the care of physicians for the opiate habit, it is charged.
In the action, Charles S. Thornton, former corporation counsel of Chicago and his law partners. Justus Chancellor and Justus Chancellor, Jr., once counselors for Reid, are seeking $35,560.44 with interest from January 3, 1923, from his estate.
This money is due them, they declare, for professional and personal services in Reid's behalf for the period beginning April 2, 1922 to the above date.
These services consisted mainly, they assert, in caring for the financier at the instance of Dr. J. Gordon Bonine of Cassopolis, Mich., after the capitalist became an addict.
