Justice Michael A. Musmanno To

     Be Honored Posthumously


  SLate Supreme Court Justice Michael Angelo Musmanno, one of
Pennsylvania's most distinguished citizens, was buried yesterday
afternoon in Arlington National Cemetery with military honors.
A guard of honor escorted the body to the cemetery.
  The 71-year old jurist died in Mercy Hospital, Pittsburgh, shortly
after 9 o'clock Saturday night, less than 36 hours after he suffered
a massive hemorrhage in his apartment Friday morning. In addition
to the stroke, Justice Musmanno suffered two heart attacks after
he was taken to the intensive care unit of Mercy Hospital.
  Throughout his career, Justice Musmanno was a consistent, and
often controversial, champion of the underprivileged and oppressed.
  Ironically, his death came on Columbus Day, several hours after
  the parade in which he was to be marshal was held in Pittsburgh.
  Justice Musmanno was scheduled to address a Columbus Day
  program in Steubenville Sunday night, October 20. He was to com-
  memorate the discovery of America with a speech. After the program
  Justice Musmanno was to be honored as the recipient of a sculptural
  reproduction of Christopher Columbus. The presentation will be
  made posthumously to a member of his family.
