ARRESTED IN COLUMBUS.
Man Wanted in Washington to An
swer Fraud Charge.

Capt. Boardman received a message from
Columbus, Ohio. last night, telling of the
arrest in that city of L. LoWenthal, alias
Bernat Blum, who is wanted in this city
to answer charges of fraud alleged to
have been practiced upon two local jewel
ers. Descriptive circulars were sent out by
the police department two weeks ago ask
ing the departments of other cities to be
on the lookout for him. From here he
went to Wheeling. w. Va, where, it is al
legged, he obtained jewelry from firms
there, and left before the receipt of circu-
lars from Capt. Boardman. AS soon as
the message received last night De-
tective Baur was started in the direction
OF Columbus to appear before a United
States marshal and present the warrant
for his arrest.
About six weeks ago Lowenthal came 10
this city and remained a short time. Dur
ing the few days he was here. 1t is
charged, he obtained about $500 worth of
jewelry from the two firms. In the circu-
lars sent out by Capt. Boardman 1t is
stated that his scheme is to rent a room,
desk room. and apparently start the in
stallment business, having cards printed
on which he claims to sell watches, 5ewelry,
clothing, etc. on weekly payments. He
will then make small deposit in local
bank and call upon jewelers. and other bush
ness men, present his card, representing

check in payment. These checks are paid,
and after several such transactions. having
gained the confidence of his victim, will,
after banking hours, purchase several
high-priced articles and give check in pay
ment, and when presented to the bank the
following morning it is learned he has
withdrawn his account and left the city.
1t Is the belief of the local police that
Lowenthal disposed of the jewelry he OBJ
tanned in this city and used the money for
the purpose of starting a bank account at
Wheeling While the particulars Of his
arrest are not known, 1t is thought he was
arrested on the description and information
contained in the circular
