His son, Lester, a high school stu dent, was the only member of the family left alive. So completely did the silencing device muffle the reports of the weapon 5 that the tragedy was not discovered until several hours later, when the [ son found under his door a note from ; his father requesting him to telei phone relatives. The quadruple kill. ing took place in an exclusive apartment house on Central park, west. Coroner Feinburg, after an invesI tigation, stated that Auerbach evidently had planned the tragedy for ? several days and had executed it witt. calm deliberation. The son inform^ ed the coroner that his father had brought the rifle home nine days ago. A maid in the Aurebach home, who had not been disturbed by the shoot, ing, arose as usual but made no effort to call the family until 10 o'cIock, when, failing to get response from the others, she aroused Lester. The boy found under his door a note in his father's writing, which read: "When you wake up telephone Uncles Leopold and Joe Levy and grandpa." ( The boy went to his father's room. ! where he found his father and mother dead in their beds, between \ which lay the rifle. Going into the room of his two sisters he founa ! ! Beatrice, aped 18, and Daisy, two years younger, dead too, with the , bed clothing tucked about them and ^ ' drawn over their heads. The boy followed his father's instructions, . notifying the relatives as well as the , police. He then broke down and became frantic. The coroner found on a desk in Aurebach's room four empty cart1 ridge shells of heavy calibre, appar; ently ejected from the rifle after each shot. Inasmuch as the fourth bullet was that which Aurebach endeo 1 his own life, the coroner could not ' understand how all four shells hae been picked up, but finally decided 1 that the son might have found the fourth and placed it with the others without realizing what he was doing. Until a few years ago Aurebach had ? been a member of a New York candy i firm, from which he retired to devote . his attention to real estate. A few months ago, it is said, his property ! was valued at nearly $1,000,000.

SILVER THREADS AMONG THE GOLD Darling I am growing old, Silver threads among the gold, Shine upon my brow today, Life is fading fast away. But my darling you will be Always young and fair to me; Yes, my darling you will be Always young and fair to me. When your hair is silver white, And your cheeks no longer bright, With the roses of the May, I will kiss your lips and say; Oh! My darling, mine alone, alone You have never older grown, Yes, my darling, mine alone, You have never older grown. Love can nevermore grow old, Locks may lose their brown and gold, Cheeks may fade and hollow grow, But the hearts that love will know Never, never, winter's frost and chill; Summer warmth is in them still, Never winter's frost and chill, Summer's warmth is in them still. Love is always young and fair; What to us is silver hair, Faded cheeks or steps grown slow. To the hearts that beat below? Since I kissed you then alone, alone, You have never older grown; Since I kissed you then alone, You have never older grown. Since the above has sprung into popularity again, the following taken from a Philadelphia paper in 1911 will be of interest, especially to those who hold tender memories in regard to this old song of more than three decades ago: Hart P. Danks, who composed the music of "Silver Threads Among the Gold," was found dead yesterday morning in his room at the house ..,1 l 1 - -1 mm r? - A. wiific ut'uuurut'u, i6i\.f ivare sirei't. Almost to his last breath Danks sang the plaintive notes of the melody which has endured for 30 years. Divas has rendered it before distinguished audiences in all narts of the world; it has been hummed and whistled by two generations; aim ranks as one of the best old songs that were produced by the school of native American composers, among whom Danks occupied a high rank. Mrs. (1. S. Hallman, 1 tank's landlady, heard the old man at the organ on Thursday night. He had been ailing and seemed to enjoy playing and singing some of his compositions. Dank's frequently told Mrs. Hallman of his affections for "Silver Threads Among the Gold," and a day or two ago commented with pleasure to his friend, Richard H. Kayser. a music publisher at 21-1 North 13th street, on the fact that his royalties from the sale of the song were greater this than last. "I'm proud of my 30-year old baby," he said. Fond of the Last Verse Three or four times Dank's sung "Silver Threads Among the Gold" on Thursday night, repeating the last verse: I .,i......... i .o amujra ^uuilj; UIU1 lilir, What to us is silver hair. Faded cheeks or steps grown slow To the hearts that beat below? Since I kissed you then alone, alone. You have never older grown; Since I kissed you then alone, You have never older grown. Hank's was lying by the side of his bed when 'Mrs. Hallman entered th? room yesterday morning. On the music rack of the organ was a copy of "Silver Threads Among the Gold." Pencil marks were scored above the final stanza, "He must have been thinking of his own troubles," said Mr. Kayser 'esterday. MAN PAROLED BY BLEASE IS CAUGHT ROBBING STORE Greenville, Feb. 1?Blythe Freeman, who was paroled from a 10-year sentence by Governor Blease, April 6 last, was captured by Call Officer Posey while in the act of robbing the store of Smith Brothers, on Buncombe and Parker street. The affair occurred at 2 o'clock Saturday morning while the officer was out scouring about the town on his motorcycle He found Freeman in the store behind the counter and entered, pointing his pistol in the face of the man he or dered him to stand and hold up his hands. Officer Posey was alone, and he was somewhat put on his nerve when the burglar said, back into the darkness of the store: "Come on Frank, they've got us!' The officer did not know that another burglar was in the store, anc hence as he was alone he realized thai he might be in a close place with twc men, both likely armed; but he helei his nerve and held the one burglar he had captured and explored the rest ol the store, liy using the telephone he summoned aid and soon had lights and assistance. It was found thai Freeman was alone. He was locked up in the city jai until yesterday later in the morning and sometime about noon was movec to the county jail, as he will have t< be tried in the court of general ses. sions.
