 Roxbury, June 1.-The hearing In the cases of John Gaffeny and his sons, Peter and James, and Thomas Dooley. who were charged with murdering Mrs, John Gaffeny at Judd's bridge, May 16, was concluded this afternoon and the men were discharged from custody. It was the opinion of Justices Prindle of Roxbury and Gillette of Bridgeport, who conducted the hearings, that there was not sufficient evidence offered to hold the men for the superior court.
 To-day's hearing was a continuance from last week and was as on the for mer occasion held in the town hall. The principal witnesses were Coroner Higgins and Grand Juror A. w. Sand ford. The coroner read statements made to him by the Gaffenys when he visited the house after the tragedy and Sandford detailed the condition of the house on his arrival with Constable Boone and the chair which it was all legged the crime was committed with by striking the woman over the head with 1t was presented.
 In the plea made by John F. Addis, prosecuting attorney, he emphasized the conflicting stories and the inability of the old man Gaffeny to account for his whereabouts on the day of the sup posed murder from 10 a. m. until 2 D. m. The defences' plea was that the woman met her death by falling as she was in the pantry after some cider. The justices arrived at their decision without much delay.
