What was said to have been the mtas-tng Unk In the chain of circumstance connecting Lewis with the murder was furnished tho poilee yesterday when two witnesses totd District Attorney Rotan of. the acquaintanceship of Lewis and the girl. No direct evidence, however, has ever been produced to show that Lewis killed Miss Colbert but the few scattered ends that remain to be cleared op the detectives say are inconsequential, and so far as tbey are concerned the case virtually is dosed. The two witnesses summoned to Mr Rotan 's office yesterday, Mr. and Mrs.

W. C. Chambers, were personally ac-onalnted with Miss Colbert, according to the district attorney. They were in the! model's apartment about a year ago' when Lewis entered and were tntl-odwced by Miss Colbert, the witnesses are said to have told Mr. Rotan.

After the conference Rotan announced that he believed Lewis and Miss Colbert had outfit over money, "each having discovered that the other was broke." He added that "Miss Colbert apparently said something which angered Lewis and possibly slapped him and he struck her in the fare. I do not think be intended to kill her." Miss Bessie Colbert, a sister of the model, visited detective headqearters today but the object of her call was not made known Bessie Colbert said at her home tonight that she had told the detectives that a friend of a man that her family knows to have been "very intimate" wlitt her sister had told them that he heard this man say "he would ret a rtng lie had given Made if he had to choke her." Continuing, she said sbe had told the detectives. "I know that this men has been Insanely Jealous of Maale. and threatened several times to 'get her. He was infatuated with her.

I have another witness that will go on the stand who overheard him saying he would 'get her. "Today I went down to the apartment and found a bunch of keys in the flat where Mazle died. I don't believe they belonged to I. wis. who killed himself.

But they may belong to this man. I know all the friends Maxje had and can give the detectives the names of all of tbera If they want them." John Colbert, a brother who was present when Bessie told of her interview with the detectives, said ho wanted s.r the men friends of his sister. Marts Colbert- questioned about the case. Toung Colbert appealed to Mayor Smith tonight to take a hand tho Investigation, He made an engagement for a conference with the- mayor tomorrow, "I will see that Justice Is done." said the mayor.
