Auble 2 shooting
In September 1908, the owner of a boarding house contacted the PD about suspicious activities of two tenants. Auble and officer Flammer went to the boarding house, hid in an adjoining room, and listened to the conversations of the two men planning a series of burglaries. On the morning of Sept. 9, 1908, Auble and Flammer followed the men walking along 9th St. Auble decided to arrest one while Flammer would arrest the other. In the struggle, Auble was shot and died at a hospital about 6 hours later. At the time, he was the highest-ranking officer killed in the line of duty in LA, the longest-serving member of the LAPD with 21 years, and was the third LAPD officer to be killed. Officers eventually tracked down Sutherland who dropped his gun and drank cyanide as officers approached.
Auble 3 sign
Auble's funeral was held on Sept. 12, 1908, at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, which was filled to capacity with more than 3,000 additional mourners gathered outside. In addition to city officials, civic and business leaders, and members of the LAPD, representatives of police departments from around the area, from San Diego to Oakland, attended the service. A procession of 21 cars traveled to Inglewood Park Cemetery for the burial. In May 2014, the LAPD unveiled a series of memorial street signs, one for each of the more than 200 officers who have died in the line of duty, posted at or near the locations where each of the officers were killed.

However, he had the support of the department and was appointed to be chief of police after the current chief retired.
