MRS. SHONTS DROPS
FIGHT OVER WILL

NEW YORK, April 9.-Mrs. Milla d.
Shonts terminated by petition yester-
day her contest of the will Of her hus-
band, Theodore p. Shonts. who for
twelve years was president Of the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company.
At the same time the widow made
formal retraction Of all charges which
she has entered against Mrs. Amanda
c. Thomas, whom the traction head
named in his last will as residuary
legatee and whom Mrs. Shonts sued
for 100000 last year. alleging
alienation of her husbands affections
In the petition Mrs. Shonts says she
is now convinced that her husband
was OF sound mind when he made his
last will and that he was not unduly
Influenced. Her retraction is brief,
but sweeping.
Mrs. Shonts has estimated the value
CT her husbands estate at $4,000, ,OO0
and at one time asserted that he had
concealed" the bulk Of his fortune
However, the executors say that
Shonts entire fortune. all in personal
property. is not worth so much as
$500. 900. In that event the share Of
Mrs Thomas will not be a large one.
