I saw her grab down there,
Then Tex went back outside,
because the other man was on the
lawn, still running and calling for

I still must have had the headlock
on Sharon when Tex came back.
And he told me it looked like she
wanted to sit down.
So I took her over and sat her
down on the couch. She said: "All I
want to do is have my baby."
I knew I had to say something to
her before she got hysterical. And
while I was talking to her, I knew
everything I was saying—I was
saying to myself. I wasn't talking to
her, but myself.
"Woman, I have no mercy for
you," I told her, and that was myself
talking only to me.
Then the Folger girl started
staggering outside, and Tex and
Katie went after her. But I'm not
sure that Katie went outside, either.
I just stayed there with Sharon.
She was so quiet. And Tex came
back in and said:
"Kill her." Just like that, he said
"Kill her."
Then Katie, like an echo, said:
"Kill her."
I reached to grab hold of Sharon's

arms, but I didn't want to kill her. I
held onto her arms, and said:
"Tex, I can't kill her. I've got her
arms. You do it."
Katie couldn't kill her, either.
So Tex stabbed her-—in the heart.
And again, and again.
I threw another towel over Sha-
ron's head. I think it could have
fallen over Jay Sebring's head, too. I
didn't even look—I just threw it.
But Sharon Tate was lying curled
up near the couch and his and her
heads probably were close together.
"Get out," Tex yelled. Justlike,
he
How Jong were we in there *@ime2..
Who ‘Thows time? Five minutes?
Twenty minutes? Time has no
meaning. (Police estimate the slay-
ers spent about 25 minutes inside
the mansion.)
Look for Linda
After Tex yelled, we, Katie and I,
went running outside looking for
Linda because we couldn't see her,
but we didn't yell too loud for fear of
being heard by neighbors.
When Tex came out, I said:
"Tex, do you have my knife?"
He said no. I asked Katie:
"Do you have my knife?"
She said no, and the paranoia got
big and I tried to shush it by saying
to myself: "Linda must have my
knife. I think I gave it to her."
Then Tex ordered me:
"Sadie. (She was sometimes known
to members of the group as Sadie
Glutz.) Go back and write something
on the door."
I didn't want to go back into that
house. I didn't want to go back but
something made me.
I got the towel that I had tied the
man's hands with, and I went over
to Sharon Tate.
And I flashed. Wow, there's a
living being in there. I wanted to,
but I couldn't bring myself to cut
“hemenen and take the baby.--kney,
it was jiving, I knew it wouldn't
live... “ace,
And I reached down and turned
my head away from her. Then I
touched her chest with the towel to
get some blood and I proceeded to go
to the door and the only thing I
remember being instructed to write
on the door by Tex was "Pig."
So I proceeded to take my hand
and write "Pig" with the towel and I
threw the towel back into the house
and ran outside. I was the last to
leave the house.
I ran to the front gate. Tex and
Katie already were standing on the
other side. Then, the next thing I
knew, I was standing there, too.
We walked toward the car, but we
couldn't see Linda. We thought she
had disappeared. We didn't know
where she was. We called for her.
But not too loudly.
Charlie—I guess through Tex—
had instructed us to go to. the
neighbors' house and do the same
what we had done in the nlace
we just left.
't Go Through Wit,
We went to push the button that
opens the neighbors’ gate, Tex
pushed the button but I don't think
he used his fingers. I think he used
his arm or something. I just can't
tell why we didn't go through with
it. I can't see it now, can't flash it
into my mind.
But we picked up our clothes
which we had stashed by the gate—
we knelt down and picked up our
second change of clothes. Then we
walked down the road to where the
car was, walked not too conspicuous.
And when we got to the car there
was Linda in it already, with her
second clothes. She had begun to.
start the car, and Tex told her to get
over.
