Death by own action may clear up model death
Philadelphia police believe Bernard W. Lewis, a wealthy Pittsburgher, was in Mazie Colbert’s Wilton apartments the night she was killed. A wilted collar found in Colbert’s room is linked to Lewis, who shot himself in an Atlantic City hotel bathroom as officers prepared to arrest him for a separate unpaid cab bill. Detectives claim Lewis acted to hide his involvement after a quarrel over a 400 diamond ring, with a witness identifying the collar and confirming his presence Friday night. The case rests on a single lead as authorities pursue Mr. Lewis posthumously.
