The Only Crime of Three of Their Victims was Helnjr the llrothera of a Murderer A Fourth War Urn Kicked to lieath, New Orleans, Sept.

IS. There was a triple lynching almost within the shadow of the city Saturday night, but it was conducted so quietly that the account of the horrible affair published yesterday morning was quite a surprise to the community. victims of the vengeance the mob were three negro brothers named Julian, and the crime which they expiated in so summary a manner was the shielding of a 'fourth brother, Roseylus Julian, who on-dPriday afternoon shofci Judge Victor Espinolt to death while trying r.r?0 htm fwa tririnl snooting occurred in the court room, and the murderer continued fir ing- until 'the judge, who attempted to close in upon him, fell mortally wounded Immediately outside and to the left of the building. The brutal negro then stood over the prostrate form of his victim and fired a fourth shot which is supposed to be the one that passed through the heart. Officer Forbes ran to assist the judge, and the negro ran across the grounds for his cabin.

Just at this time August lspinolt, a son of the murdered official, who is employed on the Carrollton road, was coming from his work and gave chase to the man whom he had just seen murder his father. The negro reached his cabin and coming out fired two shots at the young man, who sought safetj' in the house adjoining the residence of Mr. Charles Florey. The negro provided himself well with ammunition while in the cabin, for during his stay he grabbed up a valise and a Winchester a rifle. It was from this rifle that he fired the two shots by which young Espinolt was wounded.

The negro made for the swamps in the rear of the city, and being" perfectly familiar with them was soon in safe hiding. Posses were immediately organized and all night and all Saturday the surrounding country was scoured, but the search was fruitless so far as the real criminal was concerned. The mother, two brothers and two sisters of the negro Roseylus were arrested at the Black Ridge, in the rear of the city, by the police and were" taken to the little jail on Judge Espinolt's plaee, about 4 o'clock. Another brother was arrested later in the day in the same neighborhood and taken to the same iail. What canserl th arrest of the mother and two sis ters was that on a visit being made to the house these females were found wrapping np some clothing and a of bread.

This aroused the suspicion that the articles were to be conveyed to the fugitive. The brothers were discovered over the- -Black Ridges and had a shirt bundled as if it were intended for Julian. This naturally aroused suspicion against them. The two brothers were caugbt coming out of the swamps, and as they per- sistently refused to state whence they had come, they fell under the bane of doubt, hence all the arrests. In the pursuit made by the different posses during- the day great lack of system was demonstrated.

They continually came upon one another's tracks, and a great many becoming disgusted with the aimless manner in which the hunt was being engineered, came in and refused to further participate in the chase. Toward nightfall the men who had been out man-hunting all day, and having met with no success, though they had frequently been sent on wild-goose chases, began to grow fretful, and as the darkness thickened around them their retful- ness gTew into desperation, and they I determined to do something to compel the relatives of the fugitive to disclose his whereabouts. The aroused populace was generally in favor of taking no harsh action against the females, but as to the males, they appeared determined to string" them up or make them talk. About 11 o'clock a body consisting of about twenty-five men, some armed with rifles a 3d shot-g-unsr came up to the jail and lit a lantern. They unlocked the door and then held a conference among themselves as to what they should do.

Some of them were in favor of hanging the whole five, while others raised objections and insisted that only two of the brothers, the short one and the -tall one, Valsin and Bakal, should be taken out and strung" up. This was finally agreed to and several of the men went into the jail and coining out afterwards brought with them the two doomed negroes. They were hurried across to a pasture, 100 yards distant and there asked to take their last chance of saving their lives by making" a confess- The negroes made no reply. They were then told to kneel down and pray. One did so and the other remained standing; but both prayed fervently.

The taller negro was then hoisted up. The smaller one stood gazing at the horrible, death of his brother without flinching. Fully fifteen minutes elapsed before the second brother was strung" up. The mob remained standing at the place for about half an hour, when some one suggested that they go back and hang-the three others. This was opposed by several, but it was finally decided that they should go back and take the remaining- brother out to Camp Parapet and hang him there.

The other two were to be taken out and flogged, with an order to get out of the parish in less than half an hour. The mob then started back to the jail, to pt their threats into execution. The third brother, Paul, was taken out to the camp, which is about a mile distant in the interior and there he was hanged to a tree, his body hanging- in full view of a morbid crowd during the day, as a warning to, the negro that they cannot "go about killing- white people," as one of the members of the mob put in. The lynching was conducted very quietly, and not a shot was fired during the entire proceedings. I the meantime the real murderer is at liberty and his brothers, who died to save him flu fate which they met, will soon "be resting in unmarked graves heroes of a peculiarly distinctive type.

The-darkness which brooded over the place, only faintly lit up by the young" moon, made the experience of the night one to be Hidden deep in the obscurity were the relics of the butchered men swinging" it a messenger immediately complied and handed out some $75,000 consigned to the Calumet and Heela mine and which was part of the money to be paid by the mine on its pay-rolL -After securing the booty, the-robbers fired a shot the en-1 () a 1 --nili 1c," vv liirh Story Four Munpects Ar rested. IIouohton, Sept. 15. Express Messenger Hogan, tells the following- story of the robbery: "I was sitting- in my chair with my feet on a box, singing, when I heard a crash, and 'looking that way saw a masked man covering- me with two revolvers and ordering: 'Hands There was another man just behind him. I threw up my hands' mighty quick, and the robbers took my gun away.

Then they demanded the keys of the safe. I pretended to be looking for the right key when they threatened to kill me if I did not hurry. I then opened the safe and took out the four packages of currency, and oneof the robbers scooded them Into a bag he carried. Backing out of the car door again, they fired two shots, evidently as a signal to the robbers on the engine, to tell the engineer to go on, saying: 'You will find a rail pulled up about three miles "The engineer pulled the throttle wide open and flew for the Osceola telegraph office, when the news of the robbery was at once telegraphed to Houghton. Jack King, the wrestler; John Ke-hoe, a sport, and Jack Challew, were seen driving- very fast into town about 10 o'clock, and persons near the Boston station saw a horse corresponding in color tied up near the station.

These men and a man ramed Gorman were thereupon arrested, and the case against them seems to be a very strong one. The conductor of the train, who saw the robbers walk away, thinks their gait and general appearance corresponds to these men. John Challew's wife attempted to leave by the noon train, but she was stopped and brought back. The prisoners were put under $10,000 bonds, in default of which they were placed in jail. They will have a hearing- at 2 o'clock to-morrow.

A man named Butler, from Marquette, was also arrested. At" the Scene sf the Robbery--Fnrther Particulars. Hancock, Sept. 16. A United Press represenatative went to -the scene of the robbery and interviewed the people living in the neighborhood, but none of them had seen the men in custody about the railroad track.

The passengers wrere not aware of the robbery until the conductor rushed through the train shouting: "There are highwaymen on board." Much excitement ensued, but the robbers did not put in an appearance in the passenger coachos. The robbers gained entrance to the express car by smashing it in with a sledge-hammer which was secured at the Peninsula mine, situated close by. After securing the booty and ordering the engineer to pull out, the bandits coolly walked down the track while the trainmen stood on the back platforrn watching them until they disappeared from view.
