learned that = negro, who was arrested
Saturday night on suspicion of being
Julien, had been bound hand and foot and
then tortured BY having fire applied to his
feet
Tbs negro was arrested for stealing
horse In the parish Of Jefferson, just below

with that of julien, the murderer, move

Persons in the crowd who knew Julien
denied that the prisoner was he, and then
the mob decided to torture him with the in
tention of extracting information from him
regarding Julien's whereabouts.
He could give none.
His feet were horribly burned and swol-

The mob claims that he attempted to
burn his way out Of JAIL, and In the at
