MURDER.
A Seneca Indian, by the name of Tommy Jemmy,
was committed to pot on Saturday luso, for the
murder, of a squaw, about three miles from
tins place. It appeared on the examination, Art
the pris'uyee suspected the deceaved of being a
witch. and of haying occasioned the death of une of
his Hear "tulatives.. who has lately died, by some
diabolical practicer' in which the Indians believe.
After ttiffitulting with souse other ludians on the
saersurr, peat to the deceased, and induced her
to g° ‘llll Wm into a field near where she resided,
tied there, after treating her with whiskey, &lase-
rattily cat her throat. A Coroner's inquest was
irliich found a verdict of II ilful Murder.

practice by no memos uncommon, even among the
Indium% residing in the neigtitourhood of _white set-
tlement,. The efforts which have been made to
prevent if lave been ineffectual, although till., we
believe, i; the flr'st' case where the civil authority

The viiperstitiouit belief in sorcery, which is com-
mon to all ravages, and is (Aril conlirined by the
tainfer.sithis of the deluded wretches who use secured
ul irs practice, is so strongly fixed in the minds of
the India. r, that no argument or reasoning seems
to eradicate it. The prisolier (who is one

wild and frightful, which very much alarmed this
girls. One of them however states, that he asked t
them to stop a minute, as they were about to run.
-Immediately upon this Davis was seen coming die,'

was it door ? Parsons, who was then levant% ow •
wall, replied, that he did it ; but that 'he did it
accidentally in cutting down a tree, or attemptine
to cut down a limb frotn a tree, or something e
this kind. By this time quite a number et.
citizens had come to the place where Persons errata
first met, with the lifeless h:al of Davis in his
arms. It was then proposed by the Hew. Mr.
Jewett, who was the second person that came
v•to the spin after the outcry, that they should go to
.the place where the catastrophic had Is-ansebed, and
ere what discoveries could there be made. He ac..
tsordingly in company with two other Gentlernerc
:and 'Parsons, proceeded buck to the place ; the first
t
i' tvhing they discovered was the axe, which ,i found
pear the place where the girls had stopped.; it was
examined and found bloody, and some hair was
'upon it. They then proceeded to where the tree
