NEW YORK, Feb. 20 Stsrtllng evidence was given In the examination of one of the six men charged with substituting bodies in order to obtain Insurance money which came up In the police court today. Joseph Trepan!, the undertaker, was held by Magistrate Zeller in $5,000 ball to await the action of the grand Jury. Francis B. Foster, formerly an agent for the Union Central Insurance company, said be had agreed, at Trepani's suggestion, to swear to the death of men Insured In the company while he knew that the body of some one else had been substituted. For assistance thus rendered he was paid from $100 to $1,600 by Trepanl, according to the amount of the policy in each case. He was first appointed by the prisoner, Clrino, and, with Dr. Oliver Moore, for the company, examined one Tromborula, to whom a policy was issued. Tromborula soon after that was reported dead and the amount of the policy claimed. Dr. Moore said he was sent to St. Michael', cemetery by the Insurance com pany to Identify the body exhumed, which was said to be that of Tromborula. "When I examined the body in the coffin," said he, "I found it I J be that of a much older man. There were mittens on the hands, which I took off, and found that one glove had been stuffed with cotton and that the right forearm was missing. 'The right foot waa also missing, the shoe being stuffed with a block of wood, shaped like a foot. "The lips bad been sown together, so as to conceal the absence ot teeth. "Tho mouth was stuffed with cotton, causing the cheeks to puff out and give the body the appearance of a much younger man." Assistant District Attorney Krottel made public tonight a confession made by Foster, detailing the methods pursued by the swindlers. Foster says be La. been for many years the chief soliciting agent for the Union Central Life company of Cin cinnati, which ha,, a branch office in New York. He admit, that he made false identifica tion, of seven bodies and succeeded in effecting the collection of $10,000 fraudulent Insurance from his company. Shortly before the death of Tromborula the conspirators made arrangements to place $10,000 additional Insurance on his life. the two shMIng competitions to b held on Verona lake next week were approved.
