FAMILY or EIGHT DEAD
1t is Believed Charles Aver Killed
Seven and Fired House.
FOUND DYING ia THE ROAD

When the Fire Occurred Aver Drove
to Sisters Home, and When In
formed His Buildings Were Burned,
Shot Himself.
Pembroke, n. H.. Jan. l8. - 'eyen
persons. all members OF the family Of
Charles Aver, are supposed to have
persisted in a fire which destroyed
Ayers farm house, near here. The
bodies Of child and of Ayers mother
inlaw have been found in the ruins.
Mrs. Aver and four children are miss
ing. and it is feared that they. too. are
victims of the fire. The authorities
suspect that a crime was committed.
Later Aver was found In dying
condition on the Northford turnpike,
in the town of Chichester There was
a bullet wound in his head, apparently
selfinnicted He died several hours
later
The theory Of the county authorities
is that Aver was the murderer, but
they are unable to find any evidence
to indicate the methods employed to
wipe out the family. Whether the vic
Tins were shot or killed by other
means cannot be told at present.
The victims of the tragedy we're:
Charles F. Aver. aged 40; killed him
self by shooting; Mrs. Addie Aver, his
wife. Mrs. Isaac Lakeman. Ayers
mother-in-law Flossie Aver. aged II;
Alfred Aver. aged 10; Bernice Aver,
aged 6; Andrew Aver, aged 4. and a
girl baby. all children of the Ayers.
The fire occurred in the morning,
and Aver drove up to the home Of his
sister. Mrs George Bailey. in the town
of Chichester. about six miles from his
home He remained at Mrs Bailey's
place during the afternoon, and when
informed that his buildings had been
burned manifested some agitation. A
moment later he drew a revolver and.
pointing II at his right temple. fired,
and fell unconscious.
Aver had not been held in high es-
TEEN by his neighbors lie was obliged
to rely upon his wifes relatives for
support.
One Of the theories advanced is that
dispute concerning the Lakeman
property led to the tragedy.
II was learned that when Aver ar
rived at the home Of Mrs. George Bal
ley. his sister he said to her husband.
ITS all up with me. George"
When Bailey asked his brother-in-
law what he meant Aver replied "Oh,
I've had trouble"
He refused to make any explanation.
The Baiieys say that his manner was
somewhat strange from the time Of
his arrival up to the receipt Of the
news by the family OF the fire
