FD-+350 (Rev. 7-16-63) Fi Four Create~ Disturbance, Are Removed BY JOHN KENDALL Times Staff Writer Grim-faced jurors the Tate-La Bianca killers: Charles Manson, 36, Patricia Krenwinkel, 23, Susan Atkins, 22, and Leslie Van Houten, 21. But, the four were not present ta hear themselves condemned. Each had disrupted the hearing with loud | comments and had been removed. The same seven men and five wo- men who returned a total of 27 counts of first-degree murder last Jan. 25 filed back into Superior Judge Charles H. Older's courtroom at 4:22 p.m. They had deliberated a total of 10 hours since receiving the case last Friday, after a two-month penalty hearing and seven-and-a-half-month guilt-or-innocence trial. Some of the jurors glanced at the defendants sitting at the counsel table as they entered the courtroom but most avoided looking at them as they took their seats in the jury box. Sudge Asks for Verdict "Mr. Tubick," Older asked jury foreman Herman C. Tubick, “has the jury reached a verdict?" "Yes, we have, your honor,” Tu- bick replied, handing a sheaf of pa- pers to bailiff William Murray. The judge was looking through the verdicts when the 36-year-old Man- son. called out: ; "tT don't see how you can get by: with this without letting me put on some kind of defense. Who gives you authority to do this?” Monday re- | turned 27 verdicts of death against (Mount Clipping in Space Below) An Veeoy!" Manson called "You _ people don't have.no authority over ag Half of you in here ain't as good as 5 Older ordered bailiffs to remove Manson. As the defendant was being guided to the holding cell, he said, "It's not the people's courtroom." Court clerk Gene Darrow had pre- pared to read the jury's verdict on the first count of the indictment against Manson when the defendant Ww out. Darrow began reading at 4:27 p.m. Wrterrtreannounced that tremfery's ‘verdict was death for Manson for 'the murder of coffee heiress Abigail (Gibby) Folger, the three women de- fendants cried out. "You have just judged yourselves," said Patricia Krenwinkel, "You'd best lock your doors and watch your own kids," chimed in Su- san Atkins. "You are removing vour- selves from the face of the earth, you old fool.” "Your whole svstem is a game,” said Leslie Van Houten. "You blind. stupid people, your children will turn against you." Each wag guided to the holding room door where Manson had been taken moments before. 17-Minute Reading It took Darrow 17 minutes to read the jury's verdicts on the 27 counts. His voice was a monotone as he methodically read the stiff, forma- lized language of the indictments. The effect was this: Manson, "Sadie" Atkins, and "Ka- tie” Krenwinkel—Death on seven counts of murdering Miss Folger, 26, Sharon Tate, 27, Jay Sebring, 37, Voityck Frykowski, 37, Steven Parent, 18, Leno La Bianca, 44, and Rosemary La Bianca, 38, on Aug. 9 and 10, 1969.
