The CASE OF LOWENTHAL.- The case Of

The CASE OF LOWENTHAL. 1.-The case of
Jacob Loweuthal, formerly claim agent in
Washington city, charged some months ago
With swindling the Government to very large
amount by means OF forged bounty claims, pre-
scnted in New Ofleans (ot which we gave at
the time full account,) and who, it was af-
tcrwards reported, died of cholera, has been
again taken up 10 Washington, and is being
thoroughly investigated The Washington
correspondent of the New York Times, in a
dispatch dated December 25a, says: From
all the evidence now obtainedit it is safe to esti-
mate that Lowenthal succeeded in swindling
different soldiers out of about $4,000, The
papers, when the case was first made public,
stated that he had swinGed the Government
TO the amount of million The Government
will not probably lose aquarter of that amount,
unless further torgeres are discovered, which
is not altogether Improbable. In the meantime,
there is doubt expressed as to Lowenthals S
death There are those who claim that he is
alive and that the hurried manner of conduct
ing his funeral adds evidence to that belief
lie is said to have died 10 the middle of the
night, of cholera, with no physician in attend
vile and her mother being about the only
persons who followed the coffin to the grave.
As Lowenthal was proud, ambitious man,
some of his former associates entertain an idea
that he committed suicide, knowing that he
could not any longer avoid detection"
The Washington Star makes, in reference to
this case, the following statement, from which
it appears that whilst the investigation may
disclose some new facts in relation to the alleged
frauds, there can be doubt of the death of the
accused. 1t says:
There can be doubt of the fact of Mr.. Low
enthal's death and burial. He died here, on
the 29rh Of October, of cholera contracted in
New York, and was buried on the afternoon OF
the next day in the Congressional Cemetery
The record of his death on the books OF DR..
Dove, Secretary of the Board of Health, made
from the certificate Of death by Drs f. How
ard ana T. Miller, returned by Mr.. \. Buchly,
;hc undertaken, is as follows:
Jacob Lowentha, aged 80, white male,
Germany, four years resident of Washington.
Asatic cholera buried at Congressional Gem
c;ery."
The funeral was attended, among others, by
his counsel, Messrs Ford aud Hine, who are
positive that it was LowenthaPs body IN the
coffin His death from Aslatic cholera is GER
tilted to by DR.. T. Howard, who personally
knew the deceased. and by other leading ply
s:cans who saw the body after death.
