SAN FRANCISCO--Funeral services were held yesterday for George Moscone, the mayor of San Francisco who was murdered Monday.
Thirty-four hundred people crowded into St. Mary's Cathedral for the service, including California Gov: Edmund G. Brown Jr., 35 mayors from around the country, and other public officials. An additional 5000 to 6000 gathered on the plaza around the church to listen to the funeral over loudspeakers, while many more saw the Mass live over television.
Moscone, who had been mayor of San Francisco since 1975, and City Supervisor Harvey Milk, were allegedly shot by disgruntled former city employee Dan White.
White surrendered to police and reportedly has confessed to the two murders. He has been charged with two counts of murder and could receive a death sentence.
The body of Milk, the first avowed homosexual to serve as a high-ranking San Francisco city official, will be cremated today and his ashes will be scattered over San Francisco Bay.
