MRS. SHONTS DROPS WILL CONTEST AND
 CHARGES SHE MADE

New York, April 9-A complete and unqualified retraction of all charges that she has ever made against Mrs Amanda c. Tn omas was signed by Mrs. Milla o. Shonts on Thursday and attached yesterday to her papers withdrawing her objections and con senting to the probate of her hus- bands will in which he left Mrs. Thomas his residuary estate.
 The order dismissing the contest in stituted by Mrs. Shonts in December, 1919, was signed by Surrogate Foley yesterday, and the will of Theodore P. Shonts was admitted to probate, Surrogate Foley signing the necessary document, thus bringing to a close the most sensational will contests ever started in New York county.
 The papers in the case do not re- veal what the settlement terms were but it is understood Mrs. Shonts will receive approximately s50,000 from the executors of the estate in consid- eration of with drawing her contest This amount is in addition to s1O0,- 900 Surrogate Foley directed the trator to pay her on April 6. The latter amount represents the sum MT. Shonts, in his will admitted he owed her.
 Inasmuch as the estate is approxi- mate1y s40o,0oo, Mrs Thomas share as residuary 1egatee is valued today at about s50,000 or $60,000. There curities making up a large part of the estate may increase in value $100,000 during the next year. Such an ap- preciation would react entirely in fa- vor of Mrs. Thomas, making her share $150,000 to s16o,o0O.
