Lewis, wealthy Pitts- i burgher, Detective Oscar Brown of Philadelphia headquarters is in New | Britain today and expects to secure | clues that are likely to decide Lewis’ i guilt or innocence. With the co- ! operation of the New Britain detec- I tive bureau and officials of the Rus- !sell & Erwin plant, he hopes to as- i certain to whom the key was sold and its whereabouts until it was found on a dresser near the body of the murdered girl. ) ; i On a keyring with several other ordinary type keys was found one bearing the number 1731, of a some- what peculiar pattern with an inscrip- tion indicating that it was made at the Russell & Erwin plant. Although the suicide of Wewis seemed to in- ' dicate him as guilty of the murder, one of the most sensational in the recent annals of crime, there has been a lack of conclusive evidence ! ard the opinion has been strengthened that there were other visitors to the Colbert girl’s departments ‘on the night of the murder. Several days ago Captain of De- tectives James Tate of the Philadel- i phia department, in general charge of the investigation, received ke 1731 in connection with other evi dence. Convinced that it would be the | key to the mystery, he started a cam- ! paign to trace from whence it came, its ownership and its past where- abouts. Telegraphing to Capt. T. W. Grace he gave a general description of the key and asked that an at- tempt be made to secure information from the Russell & BErwin plant as to its history and for whom it was made. Rome Man Suspected. | ! Experts at the plant went through ! the sales record and found that keys of this type and special locks which they fitted had been made in quantity | | for the Rome State Custodial Asylum !of Rome, N. Y. Early in the investi- gation suspicion had heen attracted to an attache of the Rome institution. It was strengthened when it was found that the key was one of a large order sold to that institution'and that | one of the attendants who was in a position to have the keys could not be located. Detective Brown went to Rome in an attempt to locate the lock that the key fits. It was found | that it did not it the lock attached to door 1731. As there are more than 1,600 locks in the institution that | are used with this type of key, it was | | decided that the quickest way would | be to try and trace it through the lo- ! cal factory. Detéective Brown arrived Britain shortly before mnoon called at police headquarters and, | after consulting with Captain Grace | and Detective Sergeant Bamforth, | went to the factory. He was promised | every assistance by the Russell & Erwin experts, a search' was “begun | through the sales Tecords and a re-| port was promised for some time to- {day. As soon as given, Detective Brown s to leave the city either to re-visit Rome or return to Philadel- phia. Both he and the Russell & Erwin officials are reticent relative to what has been learned. Detective | Brown feels that, if Lewis is not guilty | of thc murder, the guilty person i | keeping close watch on the movements | of detectives and sparing neither time | ‘ nor money to prevent discovery. The key is of a somewhat peculiar cylinder type. On one - side iz the number and on the other the words | “R. & E. Mfg. Co. Columbia lock,” / with the patent dates. At the factory it was learned that the number 1731 had been added since it left the fac- tory. By whom and for what purpose is a mystery to -the police. Detective Brown is one of the squad | of detectives originally assigned to the murder and was in the rooms of | the Colbert girl's apartments shortly | after the body was found on the bed. Close by the bed was the dresser upon which the bunch of keys was found. | Theother keys were of the type that| ican not easily be distinguished or traced. No 1731 was all the more noticeable because of its difference. While detectives working on the case feel convinced that Lewis was the guilty one and that his suicide was caused by fear of arrest, relatives of thn murdered girl, public sentiment and lack of positive proof that Lewis was responsible has resulted in every possible clew being run down. Detec- tive Brown said that the investigation will be continued until the mystery is ared up or the authorities are con- vinced that there is no use of follow- ing it further.
