Judge Zell Gaston, one of the leading attorneys of Birmingham, and widely known throughout the state, died yes terday afternoon at o'clock at his home at Miner Heights. His death followed a very brief illness, he having been stricken with paralysis in his office Saturday afternoon. Following this stroke, he never regained consciousness and little hope was held out for his recovery from the first.
 For 15 years, Judge Gaston had been a leader at the Birmingham bar. He had also been active in civic affairs and was triotic men.
 Prior to his removal to this city Judge Gaston resided at Greenville, where he was chosen probate judge for three suc- cessive terms. Early in his last term, he resigned from his office to engage in the practice of law in Birmingham. Dur ing his residence here, he has been asso- ciated with some of the leading attorneys of the city. At first he was member of the firm of Stallings & Gaston and later became the head of the firm of Gaston lS Pettus, Erie Pettus being the junior member.
 For several years, he has been asso- ciated with J. L. Drennen under the firm name of Gaston x Dren1fen.
 As an attorney, he achieved instant success upon his arrival in Birmingham and during his residence here. he has taken high rank as a lawyer and counsel- Tor.
 FINE RECORD AS JUDGE
 During his residence in Greenville, which extended from his early manfsood until his removal to Birmingham, Judge Gaston was a leading figure in political affairs of his county and the state. Thrice chosen probate judge of Butler county, he was a power in public af- fairs, especially in south Alabama. He made an exceptionally fine record as an official and never failed to receive the overwhelming indorsement of the people when he offered for office.
 However. with several years yet to serve in the lucrative office as probate judge, he voluntarily retired and since that time has not taken active part in political affairs. although he always evinced a keen interest in all questions affecting the public welfare. Since he has lived in Birmingham, Judge Gaston has established reputation as one who had no political aspirations but never failed to lift his voice in behalf of any movement, which he considered right nor yet failed to oppose men or issues when in his opinion they were detrimental to the public welfare.
 Judge Gaston was 53 years of age, and
