BROWNS WITH WIFE
HER LEAP TO RESCUE SINKING
CAPTAIN ENDS IN TRAGEDY.
Drowning Occurred i'm Sight of Hun
dreds Who Were POwcrless to Pre-

Locked in each others arms, In
plain views of hundreds on shore
and upon the awning decks of an
Ichored yachts, Captain Otto Auber
and his wife were drowned Wednes
day nightoff the foot OF East Twenty.
ninth street, New York in the slir
known as THE Drowners."
Five thousand spectators watched
the electric lights of the police launch
and thirty of the yachts as they drag.
ged for. the bodies. They were
found finally not more than fifty
feet from the barge Edgewood
which Captain Aubert commanded
Fully fifty persons have been
drowned off the Dumps" as that
part Of the river front is called, in
the ''drowners' slip in the last
twenty years. No tragedy has caus-
ed the sorrow of this sad happening.
The spectators murmured in sympa-
thy when the bodies. still firmly held
in last embrace, were brought to
the surface.
1t was to save the life OF her help
| mate that Mrs. Aubert sacrificed her
own. He had fallen overheard and
she leaped in after him.
For more than thirty years they
had navigated the rivers and Sound
when their boat, the Edgewood, lad
bulk, reached the moorings at the
foot of East Twenty-ninth street.
The grain was partially discharged
when Mrs. Aubert rang the supper
bell at p. m.
After supper the grizzled captain,
once Norwegian soldier, whose
universal good nature had gained
for him the sobriquet of Happy
Otto" lighted his corncob pipe and
tuned his banjo. He was an expert
on this instrument. and for an hour
he entertained his wife.
Finally he sang his wife's favorite
song: when are you coming home,
my dear?"
The stuffy little cabin had grown
more stuffy, and the Captain sug-
gested that they get a little air on
deck. He preceded her to the rail
and leaned upon it. 1t gave way
with his weight just as his wife
reached his side. Before he could
make motion to save her she was
overheard.
Hannah. oh, Hannah," he cried,
as the current bore him away.
Mrs. Aubert ran to the rail and
plunged in.
Daniel Sheehan and John Dunn
stood on the bulkhead. after trying
to get boat they jumped overheard
in their clothing and swan to where
the old captain was struggling to
unlock the arms of his wife. But
the woman, who was half strangled,
only clung the tighter, and Sheehan
and Dunn had to keep clear or
themselves go down.
They saw the couple sink together
and then rise again. The captain
weaker than before, tried again to
loosen his wife's hold. but in vain
Finally, with despairing cry. he
threw his own arms about his wife,
and they went down for the last
time.
Nearly sixty yachts were anchored
in the East River north and south
of Twenty-ninth street. Every one
of them had sent their tenders when
they heard that couple were
drowning. The launches with cleo
trio lights on board aided the police
launch in the search for the bodies
later, while throngs covered the
shore line and watched until the
grapplers of the police boat brought
mp the bodies.
The captain and his wife will be
buried in one grave. .

sell her home in Germany and come
to this country to live. He even
promised that he would marry her
daughter, Ottillie, and make COM
Portable home for her here.
Then Eberhard recounted the ar
rival OF his aunt and his cousin. OF.
tillie, Of his finding rooms for them
In rooming house In West 23d
street, Of the "trip to New Jersey and
the fatal walk up the railroad tracks.
A binding rain storm came up while
they were walking up the Susque-
hanna tracks. and this aided the MUIR
| derer in his purpose. AS the two un-
suspecting women we're plodding
! along in front of him he drew his re-
volver, took careful aim and fred.
Mrs. Eberhard fell at the first shot,
but to make sure of her death the
assassin fred another shot into her
body as 1t lay on the tracks. Then
! he went in pursuit of his cousin and
tried to kill her. The poor girl be-
lieved he was trying to protect her,
and even up to yesterday she had in
sisted that she did not believe her
cousin had murdered her mother
She accounted for his disappearance
by the theory that he probably was
shot by the murderers. When Eber-
hard was searched not a penny was
found in the pockets. Eberhard said
he had buried the money he stole
from his aunt. He led detectives to
tree near Little Falls and there
dug up a bundle of bills. There was
$2,40O in the bundle. which is the
amount that was stolen, as the muir
derer left a small amount of money
in the bosom Of his aunt's waist so
as to give the impression that she had
not been robbed. Ebarhard had also
buried his own poc'iet-book, contain
ing S26, so as to bear out his story
that he had been attacked by Ital-
ians and robbed.
! Eberhard says that he and his ac-
complice escaped from the scene of
/ crime Oil a west-6ouni train. He de-
clares that he passed through AL
bany, Troy and Buffalo in to Cana
da and on to Detroit and Chicago
without being recognized by the po-
lice. When he reached Chicago he
says that an irresistible power COM
PEELED him to return to the scene of
the crime, and then he planned to
wound himself and surrender to the
police in the belief that he could con-
vince them he had not murdered his
aunt.
| When Ottillie Eberhard was told
of her cousins confession she was
astounded. She is living in Ha@keu-
sack and has been receiving the at
tentions Of young steward named
Held, who was on the steamship on
which she and her mother came to
this country. 1t is believed that she
will marry Held as soon as the pres
| ent trouble is over.
