Trial over Madame Jumel estate case with Bowen as claimant
In New York on January 23 the United States Circuit Court heard the case of George Washington Bowen claiming Madame Eliza Bowen Jumel’s vast estate. Bowen argues he is Jumel’s son under an illegitimate inheritance statute, while Chauncey Shaffer for the plaintiff outlines her Rhode Island birth and life as Ellie or Betsy Bowen, Elise Bowen Jumel in New York. The defense, led by Nelson Chase and Charles O’Conor, counters the lineage claim as witnesses prepare for a two week examination. Separately, rumors swirl about the City Hall ring fraud investigations and forthcoming indictments, including Tweed and Connolly, amid suspected multi‑million dollar deposits to private accounts. A journalist, B. W. Tomlinson, faces a shooting incident in Columbia involving a South Carolina legislator, while Savings Banks brace for potential runs as financial nerves tighten in Wall Street.
