NEW YORK — Roy M. Cohn, who was chief counsel to Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy during the communist “witch hunts” of the 1950s, was buried Monday after a funeral shrouded in secrecy, his law office said.
A woman answering the telephone at Cohn’s Manhattan law office said the funeral was held about 1 p.m. in New York. She declined further details.
Cohn died Saturday at age 59 at a Bethesda, Md., hospital of complications stemming from AIDS.
