I am interested in the families of Harrison Hill and Elijah Peters, both Seneca Indian and any details regarding this murder. See extract below:
1907
NEW YORK INDIAN TO BE TRIED FOR MURDER.
ROCHESTER, May 14, --The United States Circuit Court, which convened to-day, is to be called upon to try Harrison HILL, a full-blooded Seneca Indian, on a charge of murder. HILL is alleged to have killed his brother-in-law, Elijah PETERS, on the Tonawanda Indian reservation last January. It is the first time in a number of years that a full-blooded Indian has been tried in New York State on a serious charge.
