"SAN FRANCISCO - Former Supervisor Dan White, the slayer of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk, committed suicide in the garage of his home here yesterday just over a month short of the seventh anniversary of the sensational slayings. "Police said White's body was discovered about 2 p.m. by a younger brother, Tom White. "White, 39, had called his brother, asking him to come over in the after- noon. When Tom White arrived, he found his brother's body inside a white Buick sedan in the garage, with a garden hose running from the exhaust pipe into a partially opened window. "Three handwritten notes were found taped to the car, one to his brother, another to his mother and a third to his wife, Mary Ann, 43. "San Francisco Deputy Mayor Hadley Roff said White's suicide letters con- tained no reference to the City Hall killings but rather mentioned arrange- ments for his funeral and for his family...."
