Fourth Quarter 1996 Meeting -- Lair No. 1


This meeting was held on December 7, 1996 at Max's Allegheny Tavern. Lee Wolfson had been challenged to get to the bottom of the story regarding the decapitated mayor. It seems that the Honorable James Barker was elected mayor of Pittsburgh while in jail. His life ended when he was decapitated on the railroad tracks on the Northside. Barker descendants still run a coffee stand inside City Hall.

  • John Blair
  • Jeff Campbell
