TrEE R0XBURY TRAGEDY.


Boston, March 9.-The Boston herald publishes a
long account of the discovery of the murderer of the
two children, Isabella n. and John S. Joyce which
took place in Bussy's wood, West Roxbury, on the
18th Of June, 1865.
lie was found to be a convict in the State prison,
who had been sent there for burglary commit
ted in Worcester county shortly after the murder.
His strange conduct when arrested led the officers
think he was ahardened criminal and his subsequent
boasting of large deeds performed by himself to-
gether with of his unguarded expressiona gave
the clue which being followed up by two Worcester
county officers, has fastened the murder almost un-
denably on himself. His partial confessions with
the corroberatve evidence obtained leave no doubt
in the minds of the officers of his guilt.
His sobriquet is Scratch Gravel" and his real
name Charles Aaron Dodge, native of Massachu-
setts but has been rover for fourteen years. being
twentyseven years of age. He confesses to hav-
ing hunted Indians in Florida, that he was sent to
prison for life for murder committed in South Caro-

tured in Morgan's raid into Ohio and Indiana, was
paroIed, afterwards enlisted in Massachusetts reg-
ment deserted in short time, joined the United
States navy, and afterwards served several gun
boats.

of his whereabouts from the first Of May till the last
day Of june. Accordingly the requisite materials
at which time he had written nothing From all in
dicatons it is expected he will make full confession
on being convinced of the utter hopeessneSs of fur
ther denial of his guilt.
Warden Haynes has received numerous communi-
cations since the affair has been made public con-
tanning many suggestions and much valuable infor-
nation bearing the case, and every effort is still
being put forth to collect further proof and place tho
mans gnilt beyond the shadow Of doubt-Bostom
