Auble was carried into the receiving
hospital, where Doctors Quint, Garrett,
Cook and Clarence Moore attended him.
DR.. Cook was alone when Capt. Auble
was brought in and he at once admin
istered reStoratives and heart stimu-
lants.
The other surgeons arrived within ten
| minutes and it was quickly decided that
the only possible hope for saving the
| life of the wounded officer was an
| operation.
The operating table and instruments
were speedily prepared and laparotomy
was performed. 1t was found that the
bullet in the abdomen had entered three
inches below and one inch to the right
of the median line and had punctured
the intestines in two places, besides
nicking them in three other places. The
punctures We're sutured and the bleed
ing stopped and the wound sewed.
The bullet in the chest was found to
have penetrated rib and passed into
the thoraeial cavity to the left of the
fifth rib, The bullet in the neck lodged
in the muscles at the back of the neck,
inflicting a superficial wound. 1t was
removed, but the bullet which had
passed into the abdomen and which was
lodged in the muscles of the back was
not disturbed; neither was the one in
the chest.
After the operation Capt. Auble rail-
lied finely and ten minutes later his
pulse and respiration were found to be
much stronger than when he was
brought in.
1t was announced that If the shock
did not kill him he would have an ex-
cellent chance to recover. A few min
utes later, however, 1t was observed
that he was growing weaker and the
administration of oxygen was resort
ed to.
Rallies followed by sinking spells,
continued until death came to relieve
his suffering.
In the meantime members of Capt.
Auble's family had been notified and
Mrs. Auble, his two daughters and his
son William were present at the ped
side when he passed away
Cant. Auble never regained conscious
ness after passing under the anesthet1c
which was administered to him, and
excepting the statement made by nm
when he was first brought into the hos
pital he did not utter word.
FIamner Begins Pursuit
AS soon as he had delivered the
wounded captain and his prisoner at
the city iaiI Captain Flammer took the
automobile which had brought them to
tha station and returned to the scene OF
the tragedy.
From Ninth street and Grand avenue
Immediately after shooting Auple'
Sutherland, with his smoking revolver
still in his hand, ran into the mloole OIL
the street and west on Ninth streel
At the intersection of Ninth ana
Hope streets he stopped and coolly
broke his revolver and inserted tresh
cartridges in the empty chambers
The shells which he elected from the
gun were picked up by Herman Phil
lips, a young boy who lives at S1o
South Hope street and who later turheo
them over to the police.
After he had reloaded his revolver
Sutherland sat down on the edge Of the
curbing and bound up his LETT wrist
which was bleeding freely. lie then
rolled a cigarette and lighted 1t, after
which he hurried south on Hope street
to Eleventh and turned west on Eiev-
enth, going to Georgia street and then
north to his rooming house at No. 931:
Entering the house, leaving trail or
blood from his bleeding arm pehlno
him, Sutherland went to his room ana
took a dark hat from closet, having
lost the light one which he wore at the
time of the tragedy.
He then sat down at a table and
penned a note, which he left lying
there.
The note was intended, presumably,
for the police and was as follows:
You will never get me alive. 1 will
kill myself before allow you to cap
ture me-"
Sutherland then removed from va
lise and placed in his pocket two
ounce bottle of cyanide of potassium,
which drug he later in the night used
when he was run down and threatened
with death or capture.
Leaving the house he went south on
Georgia street, and at Eleventh street
trace of him was lost, only to be picked
up later in the day by Detectives Ritch
and Roberds, which clew led to his
tracking down and CAPTURE.
