THE ROXBURY TRAGEDY.
The Missing Witness White Could
Throw Light on the Murder.

The Missing Witness White Could
Throw Light on the Murder.
Roxbury, May 21.-The preliminary
steps in a second degree murder trial
having been taken, the town authori-
ties are now holding John Gaffeney,
Peter and James Gaffeney and Thomas
Dooley for arraignment in a Justice
court on Tuesday next. The four pris-
oners last night remained in the GUS
tody of Constable Booth at the latter's
residence. The four men were locked
up in bed chamber, and every hour
during the night Constable Booth visit
ed his prisoners to be sure that they did
not escape. Opinion here Is strongly
against the accused, and there has been
evinced not a little dissatisfaction be-
cause of the apparent indisposition on
the part of the authorities to locate the
man White, of whom nothing has been
heard since Sunday morning. White,
whose first name is not known, is a
friend of the prisoner Dooley, and with
the latter was present at the orgies of
Saturday night and Sunday morning.
He and Dooley quarrelled and both, ac-
cording to the Gaffeneys, were fiend-
ishly dealt with 1t is believed that
White could throw much light on the
tragedy. The preliminary hearing Is
scheduled for Tuesday next
