NO CONTEST OF AsToR's WILL
Widow Says She is Satisfied With Pro-
visions For Her.

New York. Aug. 21.-Judge Henry \.
Gildersleeve, counsel for Mrs. Madeline
Force Actor, widow Of Col. John Jacob
Actor, dictated the following state
mcnt for publication, which indicates
quite positively that there will be no
contest of the will:
Mrs. -Astor has always expressed en-
tire satisfaction with the provisions
made for her by her late husband. both
in the ante-nuptial agreements which
were entered into and also the various
articles Of his will. She has not now
nor has she ever had any desire or in
tention to dispute the validity Of the
agreements or attack any of the ar
ticles Of the will.
''As for setting aside the will. any
lawyer of the slightest experience
would not advise that it could possibly
be done. Colonel Astor was of suf-
ficient age and of sound mind when
he executed his last will and testa-
ment 1t was prepared by Lewis Case
Ledyard. who was familiar with the
various wills Of the several heads OF
the Astor family.
"The will was drawn in accordance
with provisions contained in similar
documents executed by heads OF the
Astor family who preceded Colonel
| Astor.
"All Of its provisions are valid ana
| strictly conform to the laws of this
state.
I'm reference to the article OF the
will providing for posthumous chill
dren, It must be said that while the
fund Of $3,OOO,00O seems to be rather
small in view Of the large estate Col
onel Astor left. and as compared with
the sum William Vincent Astor will
receive, it Is nevertheless. a large for
! tune and ample for the heirs mainten-
ance and education.
TT is highly probable that the trust
estate set apart in compliance with
| this provision OF the will II wisely and
judiciously selected from the Aston
property, will quadruple In value be-
fore the heir reaches the age OF 81
years. Should there be no increase In
value of the corpus of this trust. the
unexpended income therefrom, with
accumulated interest, will amount to
at least $5,Oo0,O00 or $6.000,0O0, which
the child will receive for his own on
! reaching his majority"

lowed the appearance before the grand
Jury of Schepps, big Jack" Zelig and

It had been reported that Zelig was
told by those interested that an in

quashed IL he furnished the gun men,
to kill Rosenthal. To ascertain the
truth of this report he was cited as a
grand jury witness.
Schepps was again the central fig
ure before the grand jury. He was pre-
pared to repeat the story he told Dis
trict Attorney Whitman. in which he
corroborated in many details the con-
fession Of Ruse, duplicating Becker in
the killing.
It was after the murder was COM

important part in the Rosenthal af-
