Over Money, Belief
(By Associated Press, D

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 6.-Bernard w.
Lewis, who committed suicide Thurs
day night in Atlantic City, killed Maize
Colbert. advertising art model, in a quar-
rel over money, according to the belief
expressed by District Attorney Samuel
p. Rotan, who tonight made known the
result of a conference with two new
witnesses summoned to establish a MISS
ing link-the mountaineering of Lewis
and the girl. There is no direct evidence
that Lewis killed Miss Colbert.
The conclusions of the district at
torney are concurred in by Captain of
Detectives Tate and the case tonight
was virtually closed, according to them.
A few scattered ends remain to be clear
ed up but they are inconsequential, ac-
cording to Mr.. Rotan.
SAW LEWIS WITH GIRL.
The two witnesses, Mr.. and Mrs. W.
c. Chambers, according to the district
attorney, were in the models apartment
about a year ago when Lewis entered
and was introduced by Miss Colbert
Miss Colbert, according to the informal
.tion given out by the district attorney,
said she met Lewis at a motor show
here. Lewis was engaged at that time
as a demonstration for a motor accessory
concern.
Mrs Chambers informed the district
attorney that Miss Colbert had confided
to her on the day Lewis arrived in this
city from New York, which was day be-
fore the murder is supposed to have &C.
CURED, that she had "only $40 to her
name" When the murder was discover,
ed only SO in cash was found among the
slain girls effects.
After the conference with the new
witness the district attorney announced:
FOUGHT OVER MONEY.

fought over money and that each dis
covered the other broke" There is no
confirmation of the report that the girl
had 81 900 in a bank. Miss Colbert APP
parently said something which angered
Lewis and possibly slapped him and he
struck her in the face. She either fell,
her head striking a radiator, causing the
wounds on the back of the head, or she
was struck with some weapon. do
not think the man intended to kill. 1t
is certain there were only two persons
in the apartment"
Mrs. Chambers told the district at
torney that a diamond ring, the disap-
pearance of which has caused much con-
lecture, was not worn by Miss Colbert
on the day before the murder.
Mr. Rotan confirmed the police asser-
ton that Lewis dark hair was Identical
with the few strands found in the hands
of the slain woman. He said there was no
doubt that marks on the fingers OF
Lewis right hand had been made by
teeth.

Lewis Planned Kill Self
In Note Penned December II

PITTSBURG. Jan. 6.-Friends of Ber-
nard w. Lewis, the Pittsburg broker
who killed himself in Atlantic City as
connection with the murder of Maize
Colbert, today learned that Lewis con-
templated suicide on December II, when
he wrote to one of mis- closest friends
here asking that he take care of Mrs.
Lewis and his daughter Betty.
The letter, received by James S. Nc
Fadyan, general manager of the Pitts
burgh Union Stock Yards, was mailed
in New York at IL o'clock the night of
December II, last. 1t follows:
Before you get this letter I will
have paid for my mistakes. You were
one real friend upon whom L could rely.
This is my last request of you. Please,
so long as you live, see that no harm
comes to Laura and Betty, and tell
Betty about all the pitfalls ahead of
her so she may miss them. I'd do this
for you if the tables were reversed, and
/ ask you in Gods name to look out for
Laura and Betty. 1 am only a wreck
now but they must have some peace
and happiness. Laura is a wonderful
woman, and I'm paying tonight >for
wrecking her life. For what we've been
in the past, Jim, make the road for IA
Their and mother and Laura and Betty as
easy as possible. This is my last re-
quest. (Signed)
BERNARD"
Mr.. McFadyan and Lewis had been
friends from boyhood, but until, the lat
ter came on December is, Mr.. McFadyan
had received no word from him since he
left the city in November in search of
employment Mr.. McFadyan took no one
into his confidence at that time, but
made the letter public today in the be-
lief that Lewis, desperate because his
money was gone and unable to face fur
Their disgrace, had taken his life as soon
as he learned that he was to be arrested.

who is there?" Lewis called out.
We have a message for you," Farley
answered. Let us in"
"All right" was the reply.
A moment later the detectives heard
Il door bang inside the room. Their
first thought was that Lewis was at
tempting to make his escape through
window. They hurried to an adioin-
ing room from which there was a COM
municating door to the bath room of
Lewis apartment. AS. they tried the
door the rifle shot rang out
KEYHOLE PLUGGED.
They tried to insert key in the door,
but found that the keyhole had been
plugged They then hurried around to
the door leading to Lewis bedroom.
After manipulating here for a moment
or two they finally gained entrance.
They found the door to the bath room
locked, however, and were forced to
break il open.
Lewis was found half reclining in
against the head. The trigger of the
22-caliber rifle was still clasped in
his hand and the end of the barrel rest
ed against his temple. The detectives
saw. at once that the man was dead
and communicated with Chief of Police
Miller, who took temporary charge of
the body. Meanwhile County Physi-
clan L. r. Souder was notified and he
arrived a few minutes later.
Lewis had removed his coat. He was
attired in a blue striped shirt, black
trousers and black shoes. There was
little blood save about his temple,
fingers showed several scratches as
though he had been in a struggle with
some one. On the bureau were sever
al copies of today's Philadelphia and
Atlantic City and New York newspa-
pers.
One contained the fIaring headline
across the front page, Girl May Solve

a large column cut of Maize Colbert.

1 MAKING TIRES LAST LONGER
Item of Expense May Be Mate rlally Reduced.

There are a number of things that increase the expense for the driver of an automobile, and some of these are not often recognized, or fully ap- preciated.
 If your axle is even slightly out of true it will soon wear out your tires by the continuous grinding ac- ton, wearing to the fabric in a very short time. If you have had an acci- dent of any kind it will pay you to have your wheels examined, to see if they are true.
 Often the brakes are not properly adjusted and one wheel stops the entire load. If this is the case, the tire which is receiving the greatest strain will soon be worn to the fabric. One or two violent applications of the brakes on rough ground will take several miles from the service of your tires. See that the brakes are properly adjusted so as to equally distribute the strain on the tires and avoid sudden stops and skidding around corners.
 When on the road, never use your brake unless absolutely necessary. The throttle is made to control the engine. We have seen many drivers never change their gasoline feed in going down hills, but depend upon the brake altogether. Such a procedure is the worst of folly.
