Marshall was driver of one of the cars. The killer, at the wheel of the other, had rammed the rear of the car driven by the young Otta- wan, slightly damaging a fender, When information came to the hands of the police that the ex- convict they suspected as the slayer was joint owner with another man of & small closed car similar. to that which collided with that driven by the youthful athlete, it gave their search renewed vigor, for pre- vious clues were few and slim. The owner of the car is similar in ap- pearance to' a companior\who was with the gunman and who fled on foot after the slaying, while the killer escaped into the open country in the auto. Police have the names of the pair, and warrants for their arrest on suspicion have been issued + The i38-calibre bullet which caus- ed Marshall's déath was taken from the body by Dr. Quebec. medico-legal expert, who conducted an autopsy this after- noon, He immediately left for his laboratory in Montreal, where the slug. of lead will be subjected to ballistic tests in search for clues to the weapon used. , SITE OF INDIAN VILLAGE FOUND Search Near Brantford Re- warded by Find of Many Relics Brantford, Oct, 17--The unearth- ing of the site of an old Indian vil- lage, on the banks of the Grand River, about.a mile below Chiefs- wood, the home of the late E, Pauline Johnston, and not far from Middleport, has been reported to the Brant Historical Soclety, For some time W. J, Wintemberg of the Archaeological Department, Ottawa, has been conducting re- searches on the Six Nations Re- serve, and this find has been one of the results of his efforts. Indications are that the remains are those of one of the Attiwand- aron (or meutral)' Indian settle- ments of some hundreds of years ago, as these people were located throughout this district when Fath- er. la. Roche Daliton, a Recollet missionary, visited what is now the Grand River Valley in 1626, and in a diary left by him of his travels of over three centuries ago he re- cords such villages in this neighbor~ hood, Ash Beds Found No" fewer than four distinct ash beds have been uncovered while ar- ticles unearthed included a large amount of pottery, stone awls, flints, the bonds of deer, coons, wild pigeons and wild ducks; also crane and fish vertebrae and turtle and clam 'shells, with numerous pleces of burned limestone used in fires places. One of the ash beds meas- J|ures some 40 feet or more in width by about 76 feet in length, These beds, on the river side, were fre- quently palisaded with stakes or saplings driven into the ground, two 'or more feet apart, and inter- woven with willows, thus. forming a wickerwork and constituting a species of retaining wall, The site shows plainly where numerous up- right posts stood in a straight line. Difterent Encam Mr. Wintemberg explains that, as four nsh beds have been discovered, one dbove the other, this indicates no fewer than four different en- campments, with possibly. a 'period of some 80 or 90 years "between Albert gt. each, Rosario Fontaine, | 'Lifes, '1d- be quite cap iv oud prov Jad Ap ey p-- Federal District) 22 Ri -------------- Ottawa, Oct, 17.~~Possibilities are seen of the citizens of Ottawa voting at the next municipal elec. tion on the question of transform. ing the capital city and fits im- mediate environs into a Federal distriet, Mayor Frank Plant explained that his idea included secuging the consent of the Dominion Govern- ment to the scheme before any vote.
