THE EVANS ESTATE.
BOOTH TO SERVE AS ADMINS
 TRAITOR. ...

There Was No Opposition but Heavy
 Bond Was Required-Appraisers Ap-
 pointed-State Attorney Explains His
 Position.
 The agreement Daniel W. Evans, of IF St. John street, went into when he relinquished his claim to halve the es- tate of his wife, Mrs. Anna W. Evans, who had left him, on her death, all her property, valued at $60,000, was ratified in the probate court yesterday before Judge Cleaveland. MT. Evans was in court, but would make no comment on the unexpected outcome of the case, which he agreed to settle week ago. Although named as executor in the will of Mrs. Evans, who died early in Jan uary, he agreed to resign his post, and Benjamin A. Booth, of No. 66O George street, treasurer of ohe Booth Meat company, was made administrator of the estate, empowered to wind up it's affairs, as if there had been no will at all.
 There was no objection to the ap- pointment of MT. Booth, and he fur nished the $60,000 bond required by the court. Arrangements were made whereby Sheriff Durham, who tempor- arily took charge of Mrs. Evans prop erty, should turn the same over to the newly appointed administrator Upon 1 agreement of counsel in the case Oliver s. White and William H. H. Hewitt were made appraisers.
 State Attorney Williams and his as- sistant, Alfred N, Wheeler, appeared for Evans. MT. Williams stated that he was not interested in the matter fur ther than the proving of the will, and intimated, as has been stated before, 1 that the settlement Evans made with the heirs was without the advice of him. The will was proved in the form of an affidavit furnished by the lawyers and there was no hesitancy on the part of the court to break it, in view of the contract made by all parties at interest over the settlement of the estate. The thirteen heirs who get half the property were all represented In court and were satisfied with the steps taken. Twelve of the heirs were represented by Isbel & Booth and the other by Newton Church & Hewitt.
 Susan A, Jones, who gets $7,5O0 from the inheritance of Evans in settlement of the breach of promise suit she hat l against him for S25 000 was not ir court. There is nothing now to prevent hasty settlement of the affairs of tho estate.
