 NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 17.-There was triple lynching almost within the shadow of the city last night, but it was conducted go quietly that the account of the affair published this morning surprised the community. The victims of the mob were three negro brothers named Julian and their offenss was the shielding of fourth brother, Roselius Julian, who shot and killed Judge Victor Estoptnal while fense and seriously wounded the judge's 
 After the shooting the negro made for the swsmps in the rear of the oity, and was soon in safe hiding. Posses were imme- diately organized, and all Saturday the country was secured, but the search was fruitless. Thsss mother, two brothers and two sisters of Roselius Julian were arrested yesterday at the Black Ridge, in the rear of the city, by the police, and were taken to the jail on Judge Estopinsl's place near Southport. Another brother was arrested later and taken to the same jail.

 Towards nightfall the men who had been out hunting all day for the murder CT with out success began to grow fretful, and as darkness thickened their fretfulness grew into desperation and they determined to do something to compel the relatives of the fugitive to disclose his whereabouts. The general sentiment seemed to favor hanging the male prisoners or making them talk. About II o'clock about tive ty-fve mer, some armed with rifles and shotguns, vent to the jail, unlocked the door, and then held conference as to what they should do. Some favored hanging all the prison CTS, while others insisted that only two of the brothers, ''Vslsin" and ''Bakile, should be taken out and strung up.
 This was finally agreed to and several men went into the jail and brought out the two doomed negroes. They were hurried across to pasture 100 yards distant and there asked to take their last chance of sav- ing their lives by making confession. The negroes made no reply. Then they were told to kneel down and pray. One knelt and the other remained standing, but both prayed fervently. The taller negro was then hoisted up. He remained hang ing fully five minutes before the second was hanged. The shorter negro stood gszing at the horrible death of his brother without finching.
 The mob remained at the place for about half an hour, when someone suggested that they go back and hang the other prisoners. This was opposed by several and it was finally decided that they should go back and take the remaining brother out to Camp Parapet and hang him there
 The females were to be fo9ged, with an excuse to get out of the parish in less than half an hour. The mob then returned to the jail. Paul Julian was taken out to the camp, which is about mile distant, where he was hanged to tree. His body dangled from limb in full view of morbid crowd during the day, 'as warning to the negroes that they cannot go about killing white people" as one of the mob ex- pressed.
 There is a belief in that section that the murder of the judge was the carrying out of a preconceived plot. The judge had been very strict in his rulings when the negro tough element of the parish were brought before him. Judge Estopinsl once saved the life of Roselius Julian. The latter took part in politics and at the cleo ton @ negro named Houston ran in oppo- aition to Estopinal for the place held by the judge at the time of his death, that of justice of the court of the Jefferson parish. Roselius Julian was Houston's chief lieu tenant. The negroes supported Houston and since the lstter's defeat there has been bad blood between the opposing parties.
 During the search for Roselius Julian on Saturday, one posse visited the house of negro family near Camp Parapet and tried to induce John Willis, 8 young ne- gro, to disclose the whereabouts of Julian. He refused to do so and he was kicked to death by the mob.
