Kath, who was a gun buff and frequently went target shooting, reportedly brought two guns to Johnson's home for a day of visiting and drinking with friends. After the others had left, the musician began "playing with the guns," according to Yost. Johnson told police that Kath first put an empty caliber pistol to his head and played Russian roulette, pulling the trigger of the empty gun several times. Then he put a clip into a 9 mm automatic and put it to his head. Johnson asked Kath to stop, and the last thing the musician said before he pulled the trigger was: "Don't worry.

It's empty." Kath was one of the founding members of Chicago, the group which, along with Blood, Sweat and Tears, brought the use of a horn section to the forefront of rock music. The band is known for its versatility in playing both rock and jazz. Kath, who was born in the city from which the group took its name, taught himself how to play the banjo, accordion, bass fiddle, drums and finally guitar. ABBOTT, Mr. John A.
