On his return this week from

"I will stay in the race and ko down
to defeat." I
As explained by Karl Fehl at the,

"Colonel Cody Is t. lowly Hearing

attendance, announced.
Colonel Cody camo to this resort
this week in tho hope of recovering
his health. He suffered n nervous

his mental faculties are In a serious
condition, according to lr. Cook.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. C A miss
ing link in the chain of circumstan
tial evidence forged by the police
ubout Hernuid M". Lewis, who com
mitted suicide In an Atlantic City
hotel and who, the authorities say,
they are convinced was the slayer of
Mai.le Colbert, art model, may be
supplied today when detectives ques
tion a new witness said to have been
found.
Despite the damaging evidence col
lected against the Pittsburg man, the
polico so far admit they have no
positive proof that Lewis know Miss
Colbert. Neither have they positive
proof that lie ever entered the apart
ments of the girl. Coupled to this is
the luck of a known motive.
The detectives say they were in
formed late, last nigiil that an auto
mobile accessory dealer will produce
a woman today, who was with Matzle
Colbert on the night preceding the
murder and heard tiie model talk on
the telephone with Lewis, who was at
a hotel. Miss Colbert refused to meet
the man at first, hut later nu appoint
ment was made, the police say. It
was also stated that Ibis woman can
show that Lewis and the model met
at an uutomohile show held hero a
year ago.
Marie Collins, an intimate friend
of Mis.-; Colbert, told Captain of De
tective Tale that she never heard
her speak of Lewis, although she was
ac(jtiaintd with every man that had
ever visited her chum.
"It was always Maizie's custom,"
said Ml; s Collins, "that win-never she
hud a visitor to telephone me. On
Friday morning, however, when I
called her up and told her I was not
feeling well and Invited her to my
apartments on the second floor, she
said only that she had company. On
every other occasion she told me the
name of the mun who was with her
in her npartmonts."
I with blows from fists and butts of
1 rifles until they were outside tho city
jwhen an .orderly overtook them and
I ordered Kaffir to be taken back to
LONDON. .Jan. C New dispatches
from Athens quote passages from a
note presented to the Greek Kovern
ment on December 1M by the Ameri
can minister, detailing the case of
an American citizen, Husll Snffis,
who was arrested on December 2 as
a revolutionary by Greek soldiers.
The soldiers were said to have ig-
nored Stiff Ib, American passports and
I to have taken 'A,T4' francs from his
1 pocket, although after examination
he was liberated.
As quoted, the note describes how
SaiTis left his dwelling to buy food
when he was seized, despite his pro
testations and the production of his
passport and taken before a high of
ficer, who refused' to hear him and
ordered the soldiers to take him
away. Kafffs soon realized that he
was being taken out of tho city and
from jests exchanged between his es
corts and various passing patrols
realized that he wus about to be
executed. He implored his guards not
to put him to death and according to
the dispatches, he was forced along
'the barracks. Here he wus examined
j by several officers, who being cou
1 iincej of his nationality, ordered
him released.
According to the dispatches the
American note stated that Saffls was
in no way concerned with Greek poli
tics and wus ubout to start for Ameri
ca when arrested. The legation de
! luyed taking up the matter with the
; government, the dispatches say, until
; convinced of the truth of the man's
story and now asks for the restitu
tion of his money and an official in-
quii y.
