"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...."
