The district attorney, rcconstructins the scene Of the staying from the cNl- dence and from the testimony of Nancy, said the old Cayuga entered the house while Lila motored with Marchand, who apparently had no knowledge of the intended crime.
 Followed Witchcraft
 Nancy's testimony indicated she had conformcd with the catcchlsm of witchcraft to the last degree.
 The 10-cent hammer, perhaps by coincidence, closely resembled the shape of the small war club used by the Indians Of forgotten day in the slaying of witches. Complying with witchcraft ritual, Nancy asked Mrs. Marchand three times if she was a witch. Mrs. Marchand, apparently amused at what she believed was the childish belief Of her old visitor, laughed and said she was indeed 8 witch
 This statement, Nancy told | the court, confirmed suspi- | cions already aroused by the letters, and as Mrs. Mar chand turned to tune a radio, the | old Cayuga struck her down with the hammer.

 Tried Magic to Save Her
 And in the Cattaraugus reserva- ton, where Nancy Bowen painted tree stumps scarlet and buried rag dolls to intimidate the witches, the Senecas saw the work of omnipo- tence in this sudden illness of the Red Lilac" They had sounded their tom-toms at evening and performed all the rituals of witchcraft that Lila might escape execution.
 Now, if she dies in a hospital they can at least dig her a grave in the Glens and pay homage in a death dance instead Of seeing her go down the hall to the electric chair or hear the slam of a prison gate behind her.

 He said within the next two, three and four years a man of experience was needed in the office of mayor. He said MT. Quigley had the neces- sary experience and that no trial order is needed. He knows his job and he heads a ticket of men who know their jobs, MT. Bartlett said.

PEDDLERS OF HANDBILLS
 QUESTIONED BY POLICE
Youths Distributing Notices of Meet- ing of "Council Of Uncmployed'
 Taken Into Custody

Sergeant P. A. McAvay of the de- tective bureau brought two young men to police headquarters this aft ernoon for peddling handbJs giving notice of activities of the 'council of the unemployed" with head quarters at 100 Beaver street, but they were not held for court.
 A local resident brought one of the handbills to the police station and said 1t had been handed to him. so Sergeant McAvay was sent out to investigate. He located the young men near City Hall and they ad- mitted that they had been engaged to distribute the bills.
 One of them said he came home recently from Fort Wright, N. r.. where he was in the United States coast artillery, because his father was injured and needed help, but it was impossible to find employment. Today, he was invited to attend meeting in the Beaver street place and he went along to pass the time. Then he was given the handbills and told to spread them about the city, but he assured the police that he would not have done so had he known it was contrary to ordinance.
 The bills the pair had in their possession were taken by the police and 8 warning was sounded, which the young men promised to heed. icoo otn lot tp p1tr
