SEVERAL WITNESSED
 KILLING OF MODEL
Detectives Claim More Than One Took Part in Killing May Be Plot Result.

Philadelphia, Jan. 10.-DetectiNes rounding the murder in her apart ments here of Magic Colbert, the advertising art model, advanced the theory today that one person and possibly two, besides the girl and her slayer, were in the room when the crime was committed. While they still adhere to their belief that Bernard w. Lewis of Pittsburgh who commit ted suicide in Atlantic City last Thursday night. beat Miss Colbert and afterward strangled her to death with a silk stocking the police say that discrepancies as to the time the model was last known to be alive and the time Lewis was seen in a Market street haberdashery has led to the supposition that there was et least one eye witness to the murder.
 The theory again is engaging the attention of the detectives that black mail was the motive for the crime. Captain Tate. of the Philadelphia de- ective bureau declared that he had learned the details of blackmailing plot carried out in this city year VI Colbert and that he is Investigating the alleged plot to see if it had any connecton with the Colbert murder. The victim of the plot. he added, lives in a town upstate and has been summoned to City hall.
 Startling Developments Promised.
 John Colbert. brother of the model, said he expected startling de- velopments in the case today. At least four wealthy and prominent business men" he said, will be ques- toned at the district attorneys office and we expect to learn something inn portant.'
 Oscar Brown, a detective. sent to Rome, N. Y, to trace the former pos sessor of key found in the apart ment of Miss Colbert, reported to de- tective headquarters today that it was one used at the Rome City asylum and that one of the etnployes of tho institution is missing. Efforts to find this employe are being made to learn whether he had possession of the key, which was one of a bunch of eight found in the apartment.
