ADMITS TOWNSEND WILL.
Sarrog@te Says There Vas No
Undue Influence.

The contest over the will of Mrs A D. Town
send. leaving the bulk of the estate to Joseph
II Mahan, a protege of her husband, ended
Yesterday when Surrogate Thomas admitted the
document to probate
The Will was contested by several cousins on
the ground that Mrs. Townsend was under the
influence of spiritualists, not Of sound mind
and was virtually prisoner in her own house.
Surrogate Thomas said that there was no doubt
in his mind that the VIII filed for probate was
the last Will Of Mrs. Townsend, and that she was
under no undue influence when she made 1t.
Almost every one at some time in his life
investigates what is known American spr
itualism," he said. ''That some people believe
that they can have communications with their
loved ones in the other world is a we'll known
fact. But the fact of that belief is no ground
for the setting aside of persons wishes in his
last will and testament
