"There's three more in there." AY he told me to go look for the bathroom and get a towel and tie up the man on the couch. I couldn't find it at first, but finally did. It was a big house. I was shaking so bad I couldn't tie his — vie I got the towel around, even though I : it tight gh I couldn't pull And he was just—he was just so ee he just laid down there and nt say a word. And h asking Tex: me Rept "What do you want? What d want? Who are you?" — And Tex said: "I'm the devil. I'm here to do the devil's business. We want all your money, Where's your money?" He said: "My money's in th desk. y € wallet on the Looked for Money Tex told me to go over and ] the desk, and I said: ook at “Tex, it's not there." And then Tex said: "Go in and get the other and bring them out here." eae So I took out my knife and I went in and stood by Abigail Folger's bed, and said: "Go out in the living room, mart ask any questions." went into Sharon Tate's r and told her and the man to op Bar in the living room. I guess the three of them went along so easily because they were pretty much terrified by what was going on. After that everything just t La Pap Rh sure of the teen in all happened. I ca it = flashes, -= OIF ite ut it seems that Tex tied the three of them—Sebring, Sharon and Miss Folger—together. Wound the ae erat an 9 around them, then over a beam so I it tient could pull And then, the way it flashes now it was all panic. ; "What's going on?" Jay Sebring said, and proceeded to advance on Tex. I don't know how he got loose, And Tex shot him, and he fell on the “think he fell on hig side, because I saw him lying on his side. e=-And_then Sharon went a few "changes," quite a few "chan- ges." I mean, her facial expressions. Wow! "Oh, my God, no!" she said. Miss Folger didn't say anything. She just stood there, just stood there. The man on the couch—I hadn't done a very good job of tying him up with that towel I found in the bathroom—he kept working to get it loose. But Tex said to him again: "Where's your money?" Then Sharon or Abigail, I can't get a picture of which now, said: "My money's in my wallet." Tex instructed me to go get it out of her wallet, and I untied her and she led me back to the bedroom, and I told her: "You get it out.” She handed me $72 or $73, and said that's all she had, and asked: "Do you want my credit cards?" I said no, then I proceeded to lead her back into the living room and tied her back up and put the rope back over the beam, One of the ladies cried: “What are you going to do with us?" Tex said: "You're all going to die." This caused immediate panic. And Tex ordered me to kill the big man on the couch, Well, I went over to him and I raised my knife—and I hesitated, And, as I hesitated, he reached up and grabbed my hair and started pulling my hair. So I had to fight for my life, as far as I was concerned. We fell against a chair that was next to the couch. He was fighting and I was kicking him. I was all of a sudden fighting for my life. Wow! The Man Was Big Then I proceeded to stab him five or six times in the leg—but I would say it was in self-defense. I luckily enough had the knife in my hand, because the man was big and with one whack, he could have—wow! And then while this was going on, Abigail was getting loose and fight- ing with Katie, And Linda, we found out later, heard some noise and went baekedewan and sat in the car, so we, had no watch for the outside gelilallas this went on, all this confusion, I just. don't réeffermer . what happened, Ex¢ept—I remem-. ber seeing’ the man I had stabbed, trying to go outside, He was yelling —he was yelling for his life. I was hanging onto him, I think, and I yelled: "Tex, help me. Do something.” Then, in the excitement, Tex must have shot him in the back, as he was .. running out, then followed him and hit him over the head with the butt of the gun. It broke the gun handle and the gun wouldn't work any more, So he began stabbing the man. While he was stabbing, the man was still screaming. I'm surprised no one heard anything. The man was pretty much half dead on the porch—that's where all the blood was, I imagine—before hi ever got to the lawn. : Standing and Watching Well, Sharon was starting to get loose from the rope, and the Folger girl already had broken loose and was fighting with Katie. I was just standing there Mire 3 There wasn't much I could do because I couldn't find my knife. I couldn't find it when we left so I figured that I had lost it in the house, which threw a paranoia into me as we left. But anyway, I went over and got Sharon and put her in a headlock. She didn't fight me. I just held her. At times it seemed so easy. Then she began begging me to let her go so she could have her baby, and wow! I realized she was. pregnant. A flash in the midst of all that! Katie was calling for me to help her because Abigail was bigeee than Katie, and Katie had long which she was pulling. So I called to Tex to do something. Tex came back into the house and reached up to stab Folger, and she looked at him and said: , ° "You've got me, I give up." But he stabbed her anyway, and she fell to the floor.
