PHILADELPHIA' MUNICIP'AL PIERS
SAW BIG MAN FLEEING
SLAIN MODEL'S ROOMS
Cleveland Salesman Says New
Murder Suspect Could Not
Have Been Lewis
WORE BIG DIAMOND STUD
A description of a man who may be the
murderer of Mnzle Colbert vins furnished
to tho polleo today by 11. C Drown, a
traveling salesman of Cleveland, O. who
was passlmr tho Wilton Apnrtments Frldiiv
December 20, as a man Jumped from the
window of tho model's apartment on the
llrst Hum
The innn was thirty-five or foiti .usiih
old. nccniillliR to Hrimn. had n full face
and welRhcd probably 100 pounds llrmwi
is sure Hern. ml W. Lewis, who committed
suicide In Atlantic City, was not the man
III on n said he saw the man on a train
Rnlng from Philadelphia to WnshliiRton the
noM day. The body was not discovered
until late thnt night, and llrown explained
that at that time ho did' not oven know a
minder had been committed.
llrown made his statement voluntarily to
the police in Cleveland today. lie nnd .1. M.
Marshall, another salesman, were passing
tho Wilton nt about 10.30 on thu night of
the murder.
IICAIIO SCL'FFMNG
"We stepped fiiru few seconds In front
of the npaitnients" he said. "We henid a
noise like sumo ono scu'lllltiR about. Then
fiom a window on n side strict Jumped
a man He tarried his oat on his arm
and seemed excited
"Ho Jumped almost lulu our arms We
Rrabheil him. but let him go when ho said
ho and his wife had been 'fooling about. '
The innn had a big diamond stud In Ills
shirt fmnt "
.Iflnies S Xlcl'a.vden. head of the Pitts
burgh I'niiin Stock Varies, and a personal
ft lend of Lewis, described Levis to llrown
ns being small of stature and not weigh
ing more than 1,15 pounds.
SAW HIM AGAIN
"I left Philadetph'n the next ilu.i. Rnlng
to WnshliiRton, and on that tialii I saw
again the man who Jumped out of the
apartment window," said lliown. "lie still
woie the big diamond. Another friend of
mine, wlm was on this, train, spoke to him,
calling him by name
"I didn't learn about tho murder for
seveial dais Then after Lewis had killed
himself I saw a statement by MePuvdeii.
whom I had nine met in business After
talking with Mai shall I decided to willu
.McF.iideu I could clear Lewis."
Magistrate Harry .1 linlier, who. prior
to his electloTg' was an Investigator for the
Committee of Seventy, and his two consta
bles. Nathan Welnttelu and Hdiiard
Abrams. were questioned today liv Cap
tain of Detectives Tate in tile 'hope that
they can throw some light on thu murder,
linber has been questioned before and. from
the Information In the possession of the
police, he was probably tho last-person to
talk with the girl befote alio was killed.
They talked on the telephone He also
was among the Mist to learn of her,death
A negro whoso home Is said to be near
the scene of thu murder has been missing
.since the model was killed, according to
Coroner Knight The police are searching
for him
, COKONHR ASSAILS COPS
"I don't believe that Lewis killed Miss
Collnrt." said Coroner Knight today "The
police have acted in this case as though
the Coroner's olllce wasn't on the map I
haven't been consulted In the case and have
been Ignored In the Investigation I feel
that Miss Colbert was slain either by a
negro, an Inebriate or some Illiterate person
but 1 am mote inclined to think that she
was killed by a negro Why don't the
police go out and look up some of tho per
sons who have been mentioned In this caso
instead of interviewing them at hotels and
at other places? The detective bureau Is
the proper place to question persons.

that at least one of these will not be con

in tho Senate
The bill as It passed the Senate yester
day abolishes all saloons In the nation's
capital, and prevents thu manufacture or
sale of Intoxicating liquors In the District,
but does not prohibit importation for per
sonal use Under existing conditions each
of the 26G barrooms in tho District pays a
license of (1500 a xear and each of the
ninety-two wholesale places pays 1800 a
jear.
Because of tho high license only nine
elubs in the District now have bars, but

, NATION-WIDU MEASUHK '
The national prohibition bill will be
brnoeht im durinu the nresent short ses
sion, prohibition leaders announce today.
The bill Is now on tne iiouse aim neumo
calendars and can be called up at an) time.
National prohibition leaders are to meet
here this week to decide which branch of
Congress will make the first light for pro
hibition House leaders stated the House
would take action possibly within two or
three weeks
Chance for the bills passage '" ,he
House, .however, are considered remote by
leaders who lire, themselves opposed to it
They thought it probable the Senate (hay
ing passed the District prohibition bllll
would act on the national measure before
the llouse gets to it. The House, they
said, probably will act on the District pro
hibition bill before ft takes up the dry con
stitutional amendment.
To become- effective the constitutional
amendment must be passed by a, tvvo-tblrd
