I FORMER MAYOR

Paul Barth Ends His Life With a
Revolver Shot.
Has BrOoded Over Story OF Horse
Purchased for Use of City.

In a fit of dependency former
Mayor Paul G. Barth, Of Louis
vile, shot himself in the head in
the toilet room adjoining his office
on Wednesday morning and died
-twentsftive minutes later.
For moment he appeared to
rally slightly, but made no attempt
to speak. Ten minutes later his
heart stopped. The bullet was
lodged under the skin on the left
side of his head.
The bullet struck him over the
tip of the right ear and plowed its
way through his brain. The re-
yolyer contained six loaded cat
ridges, while six others were found
in his pocket.
Since the publication of the
story of the horse purchased by
former City Buyer Bishop for the
use of Mayor Barth, upon which
transaction his friends say awrOng
construction was put, Mr.. Barth
had been morose and respondent.
Paul G.. Barth was born in
Louisville forty-nine years ago.
At the age of seven years he was
compelled to 90 to work, thus
being deprived of the advantages
of an education except what could
be picked up at odd moments.
His wife, a sister of William
Small, former Superintendent OF
the Street Cleaning Department
died several years ago. He has
three sons, ranging in age from
nine to fifteen years.
He was a Mason of high degree
Modern Woodmen of America

He was recently deposed from
Office by, decision of Court of APP
peals, declaring null and void thu
