Was in Louisiana-A Murderer Pur-
sned by Many Murderers.
New Orleans, September 17.-There
was triple lynching almost within the
shadow of the city last night. The vic
Tins of the mob were three negro broth
ers named Julian, and their offence was
the shielding OF fourth brother who on
Friday shot and killed Judge Victor Es-
topinal, while the latter was trying him
for a trivial offense and seriously wound
ing the judges son, who tried to capture
him. The mother, three brothers and
two sisters Of the negro were arrested
Yesterday. The mother and sisters were
arrested because on visit being made
to the house they were found wrapping
up some clothes and loayes of bread.
This aroused suspicious that the articles
were to be conveyed to the fugitive. The
brothers were discovered going over
Black ridge and had shirt bundled up
as if it were intended for the murderer
Some favored hanging all the prisoners,
while others insisted that only two of
the brothers 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

lives by making confession. The ne
groes made no reply. They were then
told to kneel down and pray. One knelt
and the other remained standing, but
both prayed fervently. One negro was
then hoisted up. He remained hanging
fully five minutes before the second one
was hanged. He stood gazing at the
horrible death of his brother without
flinching. The mob remained at the
place for about half an hour, when some
one suggested that they go back and
hang the other prisoners. This was OPP
posed by several, but finally it was de-
cided that they should go back and take
the remaining brother out to- Camp
Parapet and hang him there The
females were to be fogged and
than half an hour. The mob then re-
turned to the Jail. Paul Julian, the re-
manning negro, was taken out to the camp
about a mile distant and there hanged to
tree. The body dangled from the tree
in full view of tine morbid crowd during
the day. There is a general belief in that
section that the murder of Judge Estop-
inal was the carrying out of a precon-
ceived plot. The judge hadbeen very strict
in his rulings when the negro tough ele-
ment of the parish was brought before
him. During the search for the mur-
derer on Saturday, one posse visited the.
house of negro family near Camp Para
pet and tried to induce John Willis, a
young negro, to disclose the whereabouts
of Julian. He refused to do so and was
kicked to death by the gang.
The Negroes Rising.
New Orleans, September 1.-THE ne
groes are massing at Camp Parapet Rand
arming with the intention of slaughter
ing the white people in that section. The
whites near the swamps have been served
with notices to leave and many have
abandoned their homes
