Show USED MAX I M SILENCER. Real Estate Operator Murders Wife and Two Daughters, Then Suicide. New York. Hermann Auerbach. formerly a wealthy real estate operator, oper-ator, on Sunday shot all but one of his family as they slept in his home in an exclusive apartment he once owned at 3S6 Central Park West. He then killed himself. The police believe be-lieve he was driven desperate by approaching ap-proaching poverty after having lived a life of luxury. The tragedy is remarkable because of the weapon. It was a Winchester repeating rifle loaded with .44-caliber dum dum bullets, to which was affixed a Maxim silencer. The attachment permitted the slayer-suicide to move from bed to bed, firing one death shot after another with no scund louder than the click of the weapen to warn the victim of approaching death. |
