Loewenstein May Have Used Parachute
DESCENT INTO SEA WHAT FISHERMEN SAW Press Association GISBORNE. To-day. That Captain Loewenstein, the multimillionaire, dropped from his plane with a parachute, is the latest theory concerning the mystery of the magnate’s fate. Mr. Ivan O’Meara, the well-known radio amateur, has picked up the following radio message: The “San Francisco Examiner” yesterday published a London cablegram saying that while plans were going’ forward in Brussels to observe the funeral service for Captain Alfred Loewenstein, the Belgian financial genius, those who believed the millionaire’s strange disappearance was a hoax had their convictions strengthened by a report from Dunkirk, that Loewenstein disappeared from the plane by parachute, and was rescued by a boat. A fisherman from the village of Barv Dunes, on the coast of France, said he saw a parachute drop from the sky at approximately the time Loewenstein’s plane is supposed to have been overhead. A similar message was published by the “New York Times.”
