All Night Meeting Shows No New Facts Available Educated Members of Tribes Resent Implica- ton of Witchcraft and Savagery.

Buffalo. N. T.. April 16 lP>-The council of the Seneca nation of Indians held powwow at Salaman- ca last night which did not end until early this morning. Through out the long session they gave vent to dissatisfaction over the manner in which the recent Marchand mur- der case was handled. The Indians held no briefs for Nancy Bowen, the old woman who hammered the Buffalo artists wife to death, or Lila Jimerson, the Cayuga spinster who pleaded guilty to second degree murder before her case went to the jury, but were emphatic in their conviction that all the evidence in the case was not uncovered and that all the guilty parties were not brought to justice. To the end that all circumstances surrounding the crime might be revealed, the Sene- cas, through their assembled lead CTS, pledged their support.
 Still Awaits Trial
 Old Nancy Bowen still is in jail awaiting trial, which is expected to start in about two weeks. Robert P. Galloway of Silver Creek, Erie county, who with Ernest w. McIn- tyre of Buffalo is to appear as de- fense counsel, was summoned to last nights council meeting.
 We will be glad to have the cousel and help of President timer son, and the leaders of this nation or any others of the Senecas or Cay ugas who have anything to offer, he told the encircled braves" Hc asked that if there was any unre. vealed informatoin that it be made available.
 President Jimerson also asked fo1 new facts or comments. The Sene, cas sat in silence for several min- utes. Then one after the other spoke with deliberation. Some com- mented, others complained about procedure in the white mans court but none brought forth new evi dence.
 Adlai Williams, clerk of the na. tion, said he regretted the impres. sion abroad as result of the Lii. Jimerson trial that non-Christiar Indians are pagans.
