The shooting occurred In the courtroom and the murderer continued firing until tne Judge, who followed to close in upon Mm, fell mortally wounded, immediately outside and to the left of the building. The brutal negro 'then stood oTer prostrate form of his victim and fired the fourth shot, whlcb is supposed to be the one that passed through the heart. The courthouse is situated on Judge Es topinal's place, which la' known as the tikldmore one half a mile above the Southport grain elevator.

The Sstoplnal residence la the regulation ante bellum, planter's home a.2V tory frame structure, with large porches in front and balls through the center of the building, On the east side of the on the first is, a spacious dining room and Immediately overhead is Estoplnai's to a window of which 'the lady rushed as soon as she heard the shooting, Just in time to see her husband fail and the negro Julian fire the fourth hot Into the body of her prostrate mate. Some twenty five feet from the dining rooms stands courthouse, a small dilapidated frame, 12x20 foot building. Within, there is desk that answers the purpose of a judicial bench. This stands in the northeast corner of the room. To the front of this ia a rude railing that serves the purpose "of separating witnesses and 'spectators from accused 1 parties and for whom plain table and bench are provided in front of the Judge's desk.

In the opposite corner from the desk Is a small stand on which a pitcher of water Is kept. The slayer, Julian, Is about 85 or 86 years of 'agre. He is about the color 'of cinnamon1, bark, about 5 feet 7 inches in height, weighing about ISO pounds. His face Is rotund and not bad looking. He" Sports a little mustache and aide whiskers, that are trimmed off about the bottom of the.

ear. At the time he committed the deed he was clad In a blue Jean pants and derby hat. The negro bore an' unsavory reputation in the and, in fact, throughout the parish of Jefferson. During the last campaign, on account. of some obnoxious acts of bis in endeavoring to' intimidate nagro voters.

a band of men were about to run him yout of 1 the parish, if not. In fact, "i tb nse more drastic means to put a stop to his reprehensible tactics. Judge Estop Inal, the man whom he slew yesterday, pleaded for and on that account the negro was allowed to remain In peace, He given a place. place, In which he and his family a wife and two children resides, is a plantation cabin homc'J about 100 feet to the rear of the Judge's residence. The evidences of his brutal nature were made apparent in ither manner in which be was wont to beat, 'abuse and terrorize his She.

On last night he gave the unfortunate woman unmerciful beat ng. Judge. Estoplnal chanced to be in close proximity, and heard the woman's The neil moriuuar uo uci iier and asked why she oia not swear out an affidavit" against her husband for as "He only slapped me easy, she replied, mindful of her husband's threat, and fearful lest he would Scarry it Into execution. The Judge then told her that the fellow 't would; kill her some night, and if she would net make the affidavit he would, i lie tiea told the woman to tell Julian the next time she saw.

him to consider himself under arrest. This, too. she was afraid to communicate to her desperate husband, but on Thursday night she told him that Judge Estopinal wanted to speak to him. i He wrathfuliy turned upon her to demand whether she. Jad been informing upon him, and she cautiously and truthfully, too, told him that she had not.

Testerday morning he rose early, stating that he was. going to see Mr. John M. Frank, a. grocer at the corner of Leonldas and Levee, in Carrollton, about getting some work.

Judge Estopinal had. Just finished his dinner yesterday and left his family in his accustomed jovial manner, saying that he was going back, to Metairie ridge. He bad gone but a abort distance when he saw Special Officer Korber, of the parish, approaching with the negro, Julian, a wheeled around and went over towards the courthouse to meet them, Tne negro appeared extremely submissive, and ahowed no resistance when both Judge and officer escorted him Into the building to arraign him. His passive manner threw both parties off their guard, for, In fact, they little dreamed of what be was then contemplating. J'" tw.

Officer Korber then attempted to search the prisoner. At the moment the Judge was turned with his back ellghtjy toward both, officer and prisoner. As the officer approached the negro, pulled from hla hip pocket a fiask. bottle. and handed it to the officer.

He almost instantly pulled a revolver, and Hred two shots at the Judge, who was still partly turned away from the murderer. The negro then backed out of the place; the officer drew his revolver and fired, some say two, others shots at the retreating negro, and Judge Estopinal, though wounded, rushed out to catch him. Just as he had gotten about two steps out of the door, Julian fired the third shot, which caused the Judge to totter and and the blood thirsty negro then rapidly advanced and fired the fourth shot Into his prostrate Officer Korber ran to assist the Judge, and the negro made a 'dash across the II AUGUST ESTOrcrAX. grounds for his Just at this time August Estopinal, the second olest son of the official, who te employed as a conductor, the Carroli ton Road, was coining in from his work, and he gave chase to Che man whom he had Just seen murder bis father negro reached bis cabin and coming out, fired shots at the young man, who sought safety in a house adjoining the residence of Mrs. Charles Flory.
