After more than three months, the East River late on Wednesday night gave up the body of Henry Penmngton Toler. the former Christian Scientist who, while a parole patient in the State Hospital for the- Insane, on Wards Island, jumped overboard on February I last and was lost. Patrolman PenfleM at the morgue yes terday recognized many traces of the de scription given of the missing man at the time of his disappearance, and a positive identification by the dead man's brother.

When the body was found on Wednes day night Lieutenant Dwyer, of Harbor Squad H. discovered in a pocket of the man's trousers a letter which at the time was too badly «-atersoaked to be deci phered. The lieutenant dried the letter on a piece of glass and yesterday was able to read It. The letter proved to be from Ada.m H. Dickey, secretary to Mrs. Eddy. It was written on Mrs. Eddy's personal stationer}', and read as follows The Rev. -Mary Baker G. Eddy. No. 3&| Beacon street, Boston. Mass . July — , 1909. Mr. Henry Pennington Toler.

Gets ? Witness Against Heinzc Whose Memory Is Good. TALE OF MANIPULATION Government Accountant Tells of Constant Cash Transfers in Banks. United States Attorney Wipe at the end of yester&ay's session of court In Urn trial of F". Augustus Heinae on charges of mis application and overcertlfying while presi dent of the Mercantile National Hank felt gratified Tot two reasons. Wo had bad a witness all hls'own, one who could remem bei and had fipnres to back him up, and his testimony seemed to connect Mr. Heinze with the heretofore elusive United Copper Company pool of 1907. In the beginning of'the trial yesterday. Hfl well toward the day's close, before Judge Hough, In the Criminal Branch of the United State? circuit Court, Mr. Wise had his usual experience, the witness, Frederick Kckstein. who had been on the stand on Wednesday, continuing to forget, not to know and BO on. Felix Frankfurter. Mr. Wises assistant, was .-ailed on to take the next witness. William V. Weiss, expert accountant for the United Copper Com pany, so that the Uflited States Attorney might recuperate. Mr. Frankfurter ran up acainst another poor memory. Then John FernsW. the government's expert account ant, who his lived with the copper com pany's accounts for a year, went smiling to the stand. Mr. Wise started the witness's memory going at full speed, and soon there was a revelation of United Copper Company high finance, all in the spring and summer of 1807, that made the audience in the court room gasp. P. Augustus Heimse's name figured In the manipulations for whose pur anks In this city ami Hoboken were used, and in which hundreds of thousands of dollars were moved from one to the other in a rotation that was an almost im penetrable maze, but which had all for its purpose Hie manipulation of the copper holdings of the Heinze family and their friends. The occasion of the payment of the last dividends by United Copper, which was on August 5. 1907. was of especial Interest to Mr. Wise. Mr. FVrnsler started in to ex plain this transaction with the remark that the balance to the credit of F. Augustus Heinze in 'he Mercantile National was (60,000 as the ball was started rolling. Heinze In. trowed $900,000 from the Empire Trust Company and deposited it In the Mercantile He then turned over to the Montana ore Purchasing Company, a United Copper subsidiary, 1200.000. Max Schultze borrowed $600,000 from the Mercantile. In Eckstein's name and turned i; o\i r to the ore purchasing company, the witi.ss continued. The company had on hand before these deposits over $B,XMO, and "the dividends were paid from the accumu lated deposits. $767,910. or $10 a share, and an extra $40,420 to F. Augustus Heinze as trustee, a total of $808,330. The remanlpulation of this sum. after the dividend checks were returned to Schultze, ■was a greater maze, as brought out by Mr. Femsler, than the first transaction, but the wind-up was the payment of the loan-. a higher price for United Copper stock and a seemingly barren result to the manipula tors. However, the connection <>f the name of F. Augustus Heinze with this last divi dend payment was what Mr Wise wanted to establish All 'Ho figures had one ten dency for him. and that was the implica tion of the defendant. Mr l>rnsler showed that the dividend payment of April, IW7. was accomplished by the same process. In which Schultze seemed to be the chief financier. Objec tions from the counsel for the defendant bad lost their effect on the court. Mr WKe was connecting something Judge Hough bad been nrpin;; upon him in sev eral drastic ways ever since the trial was begun. \- the effect of the manipulations was '•■ enhance the market valt f United Copper, and as the rleinzes and Schultze were the chief buyers, 'here was specula tion as to the purpose of the dividend pay ments. Mi. Wise may put Mr. Fernslenon tin stand attain to-day. ON TRIAL FOR WIFE'S DEATH Eight Jurors Obtained for Former Private Detective.

No warrants will be issued until the charges made by Levinson have been In vestigated. Detectives Rayens, Leigh, Thomas. Fitzslmmons and Russo, of the District Attorney's staff, spent last night trying to confirm the story, and if their reports justify such a course warrants will be issued to-day. The cross-examination of Levinson will be resumed this morning. Among other things Levinson said yester day that he knew Belle Moore, the negro woman also under indictment, by reputa tion, although he said" he never did busi ness with her. It was learned yesterday that Levinson had a wife and three children 1 in Boston. and he acknowledged that while he was liv ing with another woman here he had been receiving money from women in Seattle and other cities. The police found no trace yesterday of Helen Hastings, the eleven-year-old girl said to have been held by Belle Moore, and were still looking for her last night. Assistant District Attorney Press, who will handle the prosecution of Belle Moore land "Aleck" Anderson, said yesterday that they would be brought to trial in two week* Judge Crane, in the Court of General Ses sions, denying the motion of "Alex" HLarlln, of counsel for Anderson and Belle Moore. for a reduction of bail and refusing to per mit his Inspection of the grand jury min utes, said he would continue the present ; bonds of $23,000 each until May 20. At the same time he ordered the names of the I witnesses before the grand jury to be turned over to Mr. Karlin. The names given by Mr. Press were Amy Jackson and George A. Miller. Miller is one of the investigators of the District At torney's office. The other witness is not one of the college women who worked with Miller In the Tenderloin. Mr. Karlin said that his motion to in spect the minutes was made with the ob jH.-t of moving to quash the indictments on the ground that neither of the girls alleged to have been sold by Belle Moore had ap peared before the grand jury and that the Indictments were founded upon illegal and Insufficient evidence. Assistant District Attorney Reynolds had a number of callers and received a flood of letters yesterday in reply to the grand jury's invitation to the public to help in the ! investigation by giving positive evidence. Mr. Reynolds maintained silence as to the result. The three places to which Levinson re ferred in his first confession to the District Attorney as exchanges or stockades used ii!.."white slave traffic were found deserted | yesterday when detectives called. The news that Levinson had turned state's evi dence had reached the keepers first. The addresses were not disclosed.

They were obtained by her from May Schuler, an eighteen-year-old ; girl who had been lured from her home three years ago. A general alarm has been sent out for the. man accused by her.

W.'Snow. of Savannah, but who later gave her name as Miss KsteHe Ryder, twenty-three years old, of No. 479 Park Place, Brooklyn, shot herself early yesterday morning in the Hotel Knicker bocker. The young, woman shot hersell once in the left side, but her aim was poor, and it was said last night at the New Tor* Hospital, where she was taken, that she would probably recover.

Her father, she said then, was Charles Ryder, a farmer, of Ossining. Miss Ryder went to the Hotel Knicker bocker on Wednesday afternoon. She registered as "Mrs. John W.

Dr. I. S. Hill, the house physician, succeeded in extracting the bullet. Miss Ryder was then taken to the New- York Hospital In an ambulance.
