I CAUSED THE BODY TO RISE
/ 1t is believed that the appearance Of the body
on the surface last night was due to the pas
sage up the river of Charles R FlInt's fast
steam yacht Arrow. Going up to the Norris
! Heights Shipbutdtng Company's works she Wig
orously stirred up the mud in the shallow water.
Young Meehan. who Is sixteen years old was
on the stem head Of his fathers scow. which
was at anchor. looking after the fast disappear
Ing yacht, when he was surprised 10 see the bodv
shoot straight out Of the water for half It's
| length and then fall over on it's back
! Tony" Eighorn. a boy who works on the
scow, was coming down the river in a small
! boat at the moment. Meehan called to him
There's body. Tony pull it in The how
refused to touch the body. which was being
| carried all the time nearer the scow
Meehan called TO his father to ask If he should
recover the body and being told to do so
reached for IT with boat hook and pulled IT to
me side of the scow. He held it there until
q.
boat The body was landed at One-hundred-
and fifty fifth-st.
AT the moment the body appeared the four-
cared shells OF the Bohemian Boat Club and the
Atlanta Boat Club were racing down the river
toward the northern railroad bridge lust above
which the Scow was moored. The stroke oar OF
the Bohemian Club crew nearly struck the body
with his blade. Immediately after the fo1rs
was the champion sculler. c. S. Titus who
passed within few feet of the body
Besides the other articles enumerated an
emerald and a ruby ring were found on the nm
gers of the left hand. a pair of gold bowed
spectacles, attached by a light gold chain were
found in pocket of the coat
Soon after Kingsey's disappearance a board
ing house keeper OF Paterson. y. j.. told Inspec-
tor McClusky that the day Kingsley disap-
peared a man answering his description hired
a room of her. When she looked at the Rogues'
Gallery she identified the portraits of two men
there those of two who came to her house
with the man she thought Kingsley. One of
these. whose name Frank L. Stewart was
arrested and arraigned in the Tombs Police
Court a suspicious person, but no evidence
was produced to connect him with Kingsley's
disappearance and he discharged.
At the New-York Yacht Club last night it was
said that Kingsley had been a member of the
club for several years Up TO 100 o'clock this
morning, OF the relatives of those inter-
ested In the missing man had appeared at the
