Description
Singer Columbo, a major romantic idol in the early 1930's, was in the midst of a highly publicized romance with Carole Lombard when he was killed in a bizarre shooting "accident" in 1934 at the age of 26. Columbo died intestate, though this 22 page file includes the probate filing, creditor's claims, a great Inventory and Appraisement of the estate (which included Carole Lombard's diary "of great value, amount unknown"), as well as the death certificate.
