REAP|NG
WHAT THEY SOWED
NINE YEARS AGO
Prevented Son Marrying
Maize Colbert, As Being
Beneath Family

Pittsburg. Pa, Jan. 6.--Tbe body Of
Bernard Wesley Lewis, Colbert case sui,
eide, was brought to Pittsburg today. 1t
arrived at the Union Station aboard a
fast Pennsylvania train on which it was
secretly shipped at Philadelphia last
night.
Upon its arrival it was taken at once
to an undertaking establishment in
Sixth avenue. From there it will be
removed sometime today or tonight to
the Lewis home for the. funeral -tomor-
row.
The family had the cooperation Of
police and railroad officials in its ef-
forts to keep transportation Of the body
quiet There was no crowd at the de-
pot when it arrived.
The elder Lewis was more determined
than ever today to push the investiga.
tion into his sons death. 1t is known
that he has. had his legal representatives
in Philadelphia delve into the stories
OF several Of those who were informants
of the Philadelphia police, He is con.
WINGED as a result of taeir probe that
the Philadelphia police have given too
much attention to their theory that his
son was the murderer OF the vivaeious
model.
He is far from satisfied with the po-
lice construction, in the light Of the
story Of the Misses Kyle, believing at
impossible that his son could have spent
an entire Sunday with them in blood
stained clothing, his hands bearing
marks of the crime and his pockets car
rying blood stained handkerchief and
have shown no discomfort or apparent
nervousness.
The chain of cireumstantial evidence
the police have woven about the name
Of Lewis was almost complete today.
1t was learned that the day after Miss
Colbert was beaten and then strangled
to death Lewis engaged rooms at the
Hotel Adelphia under an assumed name.
Definite information is in the hands OF
the police now, showing that he had an
engagement with Miss Colbert the day
she met her death.
Lewis and Miss Colbert met nine
years ago-when the model was IL the
police said today. They expected TO be
married. Lewis parents objected, it is
said, and the engagement was broken
From the minute social distinctions
separated her from Lewis, Maize Co
bert entered the career that ended in
death.
Miss Colbert and Lewis did not meet
again until three years ago. The old
infatuation once more gripped him and
their acquaintance grew, the police say,
until the murder.
