If euimhlinc nfeckr-innewords, and /associate those words with/ murder.,, No -. reasonable man ; / could 'think that ihese: people are not responsible for the • murders.“IT TOOK someone with; r morbid, lustful preoccupation and passion, for -death to order these savage murders, :but Charlie ; Manson probably slept ■ welt those nightl He knew / that even if the murders, did not start helter-skelter (a black-white race war) It was' not a wasted mission. Be had at least struck otit . at the establishment. He had gotten seven ‘pigs' and that for Charlie Manson wasn’t a bad night’s work,”Earlier Friday, Bugliosi compared Manson and his ’ love of animals to Adolph , Hitler who “was very so-, licitous of his dog, Blondie, while writing the'bloodiest chapters of world history.“When Charlie Manson says he loves animals and thinks nothing of snuffing . out the lives of seven hu-• man beings, he’s in good company.■ Then, methodically cit-»ing the evidence against Manson, Bugliosi pointed out .* that star prosecution witness Linda Kasabian’s testimony directly Implicated him.THE ROPE which was found at the Tate home, tying two of the victims together, was believed part of a three-strand nylon rope bought by Manson, Bugliosi said.He added that the revolver that killed Steven Parent, one of the Tate victims, and which was used in the murders of Voityek Frykowski and Jay Sebring, not only came from the Spahn -Ranch headquarters of the “family” but belonged to Manson.Bugliosi pointed out that ’ testimony showed that Manson borrowed the ear used in the killings and was at .the ranch not only to send off the killers but to greet them when they returned.■Manscm's intimidatinri” of several witnesses, Bugliosi said, showed a consciousness of guilt.Vln a reckless moment,he (Manson) put a knife to Juan Flynn’s throat and said, “You SOB, don’t you know that I’m the one who’s doing all these killings?’ That’s a confession.” (Flynn, a, prosecution witness, was a cowhand at the Spahn Ranch.)THEN TURNING to thef *motive for the killings, which the prosecution has claimed was to foment a black-white* race war, the prosecutor claimed that the hippie leader's philosophy of life and'the motive for the murders were one and the same.“These murders are in- . credibly bizarre. And the man who masterminded them — Charles Manson — likewise had a strange and bizarre mind. He had a fanatical obsession and mania for helter-skelter- In his warped and frenzied mind helter-skelter was his vehicle for death that he could ride to unlimited power.“The motive is far out, bizarre, strange, wild and unbelievable. JT1 stipulate to that. But look at the murders. As bizarre as these murders are, they wouldn't have the usual garden variety motive.”
