Perry Walshin and David DeLoach

Watson Said to Be 'Incommunicado'
The Dallas Morning NewsDecember 6, 1969 - pg. 1D

Two California lawyers — one a close acquaintance of Sharon Tate murder suspect Charles Watson — complained here Friday that Watson is being held incommunicado.

Attorney Perry Walshin said McKinney lawyer Bill Boyd refused his request to talk with the young man, although Walshin claimed Watson asked to see his California attorney.

Walshin also charged that a close friend of Watson's was ordered away from the Watson home in Copeville Thursday night by an armed lawman. The friend, identified as David Neale of Dallas, "might be helpful to the defense of the case," Walshin said.

Walshin and David DeLoache, whose Los Angeles firm caters to the hippie community, called a press conference at the Fairmont Hotel to air complaints that Boyd, retained by the Watson family, refused to allow him to see the 24-year-old suspect.

Washin said it was "unfortunate that the local authorities in Collin County have so thoroughly and totally suppressed and confined this defendant."

"He is innocent until proven guilty and is entitled to see his attorney unless Collin County has its own rules that in a normal judicial society would be absurd."

Walshin apparently based his right to see Watson on these grounds:

He said he contacted Watson's mother last Wednesday and she told him her son "wanted to see me with regard to his present troubles."

He said he represented both Watson and Neale in a civil matter, and Watson had been in his office "maybe 30 or 40 times."

He charged that Neale, on emergency leave from the Army because of his interest in the case, was invited to the Watson home in Copeville.

"When he arrived at the door he was greeted by an armed sheriff who told him that neither he nor his attorney could come on the premises, and was told to get off the property and not to return—that neither was welcome there," Walshin said.

Neale, a friend of the onetime Farmersville football star for five years, reportedly has information which may be beneficial to Watson.

"The information is quite salient to the present case," the attorney said. He added that if Watson tells him to leave the case, he will return to California.

He said Watson called him 3-4 weeks ago to inform him that he had returned to Texas. Walshin said the suspect did not seem upset.

Walshin described Watson as a "nice guy — a very intelligent kid."

Watson is being held in McKinney on charges that he participated in the killings of Miss Tate, who was pregnant, and four other persons. Reports form California allege a nomadic hippie cult slaughtered the movie actress and her friends during a symbolistic raid on "the establishment."

Judge Rebukes 2 Attorneys Over Claims in Tate Case

BOTH TOLD TO LEAVE TEXAS

Two Los Angeles attorneys were ordered to jail for 72 hours and fined $100 each by a Texas judge Friday for "making a circus" out of the case of Charles D. Watson, charged in the Sharon Tate and La Bianca murders.

But Judge David H. Brown gave the attorneys, Perry Walshin and David DeLoach, an alternative: "Take the next plane back to California and shut your mouths about this case."

Walshin and DeLoach agreed to leave.

The 24-year-old Watson is being held in the McKinney, Tex. jail on a California murder warrant. He is a member of the nomad cult accused of killing Miss Tate and four others at her Benedict Canyon estate Aug. 9 and grocery store owner Leno La Bianca and his wife, Rosemary, the following night.

Walshin and DeLoach claimed to represent Watson and told a press conference in Dallas last week he was being held incommunicado and that they had been refused a chance to talk to him.

Brown called Friday's hearing in McKinney solely for the purpose of denying that charge and to admonish the two attorneys.

He charged Washin and DeLoach with holding a "press spectacular" for no other purpose "than to enhance your own future by cheap publicity."

He continued: "You have more brazen effrontery than any two so-called lawyers I have seen in my life. Your conduct is not only in contempt of this court but it is in contempt of the entire judicial system of which you are supposed to be a part."

DeLoach, reached later at a Dallas hotel, said he did not understand the contempt charge and maintained that "we understood he (Watson) wanted to see us."

He said he had represented Watson in a civil case in Los Angeles and that "he's been in the office 30 or 40 times."

DeLoach was a Republican candidate for the State Assembly in 1964 and is a former county chairman of the California Young Republicans. He and Walshin are associates in a law firm on Santa Monica Blvd.

Watson, dressed in green work clothes, made his first public appearance since he gave himself up Nov. 30 when he was taken into Brown's courtroom Friday to be asked by the judge:

"Do you want to talk to these men (Walshin and DeLoach) or be represented by them?"
Watson replied, "No, sir, I do not."
The judge then asked, "Do you want to see them?"
Watson again replied, "No, I do not."

DeLoach said he did not know "if Watson even saw us in the courtroom."

"We weren't allowed to cross-examine him. We weren't allowed to discuss anything with him," he said.

At least 20 Texas highway patrolmen and sheriff's deputies were on hand to guard the suspect.

Susan Denise Atkins, another member of the band, told the Los Angeles County Grand Jury last week that Watson was the one who killed Miss Tate.

Watson, Miss Atkins, 21, and four others were indicted by the grand jury in the Tate and La Bianca slayings.

Charles Manson Writes the AVA

Forty years after the Witches of Mendocino were arrested Charles Manson wrote a letter to the editor of the Anderson Valley Advertiser in Boonville CA.  The newspaper had never received any other letters from Manson before this one.  Here is the letter as it appeared in the newspaper.

I contacted the editor of the newspaper and asked if he would be willing to let me have a copy of the letter Manson wrote and he agreed!  I expect that Manson has caused a few editors to have a WTF moment when it came to editing his letters.

And here is the envelope the letter came in, I was sent B&W copies.

A couple of weeks later Kenny Calihan, Manson's prison buddy, also wrote a letter to the AVA.  Enclosed with his letter was a prison form of Manson's that Manson signed, I guess to show the newspaper that he really was a buddy of Manson.    I'm not at all familiar with what this form is all about but it seems to be called an ANNUAL/PRE-MERD REVIEW.  If anyone knows what this form is for, please, do tell!

Sassy Bottoms, or Sassy Deputy District Attorney?

The post that I brought you a few days ago concerning Bobby Beausoleil, and child porn has been bothering me ever since. First of all, I wanted to know why nobody had ever heard of these allegations, and why nothing, apparently ever came out of it. I was ONLY reporting what I read in Bobby's 2008 parole hearing transcripts. Let me reiterate that I am NOT the one who pulled this story out of the clear, blue sky. I read it, found interest in it, and decided to post it. Was Deputy District Attorney Patrick Sequeira being a naughty boy by grasping at straws, or was Beausoleil truly caught being a perv-creep? I have been wondering about this ever since reading the transcript. I am sure everyone else has too. Do you think the D.A. went a little bit overboard on bringing up his art, and the gallery? I do think the D.A. had a job to do, and that was to bring up as much dirt as he could on Mr. Beausoleil, so the board would find him unsuitable, but gee, bringing up his art? LAME! Of course, if the art had anything to do with kids, then that issue, in/and of itself is enough to make any board member want to beat the snot out of him, and send him back to his cell without supper, for the rest of his life.  At any rate, I found an old newspaper article from the San Luis Opisbo newspaper that mentioned it briefly. I really do not know what to think. Hey, I love to give people the benefit of the doubt, but........Well, read on, and let us know what you think:

Bobby Beausoleil arrested on Cuesta Grade

August 6, 1969

Routine police work sometimes leads to the capture of a fugitive. This was recorded in a small story two days later. It was early August 1969, a brutal heat wave was sweeping the region with Avila Beach baking at 110 degrees on Tuesday. The next morning CHP patrolman Joe Humphrey rolled up on a car parked on the shoulder of Highway 101, south of the Cuesta summit. A 21-year-old man was sleeping in the front seat of a Fiat station wagon. The occupant was described as a transient, and a check of the plates revealed the car had been stolen. The car’s owner, Gary Hinman, 34, had been murdered. The music teacher’s body had been found a week earlier on July 31, 1969, at his Topanga Canyon home. Officers said a blood stained knife was found in the victim’s station wagon and Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies came to San Luis Obispo to collect the suspect, Robert Kenneth Beausoleil.The story would have likely ended here for the then Telegram-Tribune and most other news outlets.It was, after all, 1969 and drug deals sometimes went bad. They were only musicians on the fringe. No doubt sad for those involved, but not destined to be a huge story. Details would gradually emerge. Accounts vary and sometimes the same sources had multiple accounts.Suspect, Beausoleil had another musician friend, sometimes called Chuck Summers. Later there would be up to 17 documented names listed as Summers’ aliases. Chuck had been present for a time during the three-day period the victim Hinman was held captive.Beausoleil would later insist that the murder was the result of a drug deal gone bad. His story was that Hinman, the car’s owner, had sold Beausoleil 1,000 hits of mescaline that he in turn resold to a motorcycle gang. When the gang complained that the drug was bad, he went to get his money back. Hinman’s ear was cut in a fight and when the victim threatened to go to the police, Beausoleil stabbed Hinman twice in the chest.

Another version of the story, told at trial and in interviews with witnesses, said Chuck Summers had ordered Beausoleil and two women, Mary Brunner and Susan Atkins. to take a rumored $20,000 inheritance from Hinman. When the extortion attempt stalled, Chuck showed up with Bruce Davis in tow. Chuck and Hinman argued, Chuck pulled out a sword or bayonet and sliced Hinman’s ear off. He then left with Davis in one of Hinman’s cars. Chuck instructed the others not to let Hinman go until they had the money. What is not disputed is Beausoleil stabbed Hinman. After the stabbing, Beausoleil, Brunner and Atkins took turns holding a pillow over the victim’s face until he died.

In an attempt to throw police onto a false trail, “Political Piggy” was written in Hinman’s blood and the wall marked with a bloody paw print. They were trying to link the Black Panthers to the crime.

Chuck Summers increasingly espoused a philosophy of racial hatred and he had a loose collection of followers, sometimes called family. The family took their name from Chuck’s given surname, Manson.

When word got out that Beausoleil had been arrested, Charles Manson assembled his trusted followers. The plan was to free Beausoleil through a series of gruesome copycat murders. This would convince authorities the wrong man was in prison and could also incite a race war they called Helter Skelter.

On Aug. 8, 1969 the murder spree that would forever define the Manson Family began, with others to follow. Some remain unsolved to this day. The murders would be the focus of intense coverage.

Later Atkins would brag about the Tate-LaBianca murders while in jail for another charge, giving investigators an early window into the workings of the Family.

The Gary Hinman case would be the first known murder linked to the the Manson Family. Beausoleil’s first trial ended in a hung jury, but the second trial returned a conviction on April 21, 1970, and Beausoleil was given a death sentence. He was interviewed by Truman Capote while on Death Row at San Quentin.

Under a 1972 court ruling, the death penalty was overturned. Along with many other convicts, his sentence was changed to life in prison.

Beausoleil was stabbed by other prisoners April 15, 1982, and this was cited in reports as a turning point in his life. Bobby Beausoleil would later distance himself from Manson.

Parole hearings were a regular story in the Telegram-Tribune when Beausoleil became an inmate at CMC, within a few miles of where he was arrested. While in prison, he would get married and become involved in movie and music recording projects, including music for a film called “Lucifer Rising.”“I would give anything to someday be known as something other than a murderer, ” he said in the Dec. 13, 1984, story.

A year later, allegations of child pornography surfaced after CMC officials discovered drawings and stories Beausoleil had written about spanking and had planned to mail to his wife Barbara. She then lived in Arroyo Grande and published newsletters “Sassy Bottoms” and “Domestic Discipline Digest” according to a Dec. 3, 1986, story. A postal inspector later said the material was not categorized as child pornography.

Prison reports from the 1980s described the convict as intelligent and having a good prison record, but the specter of Charles Manson is in the room at every parole hearing. In a Dec. 10, 1987, story, he said, “I feel like every time I come to one of these hearings, I have Mr. Manson sitting next to me,” he said.“I despise what the man represents … If I had known about what the man was about then, I wouldn’t have associated with him.”Psychiatric reports at this hearing were mixed, giving both above and below average violence potential.When victim advocates protested that three Manson family members were in the same prison, transfers were made. Bruce Davis remains at CMC, while Charles “Tex” Watson and Bobby Beausoleil were transferred.

Bus Exodus Made Stops For Murder

  San Jose Mercury News December 3, 1969   From The Los Angeles Times

 

Manson's arrest record from the Barker raid

INDEPENDENCE (Inyo County) — The trip began in a bus. It ended in a bus. On the way eight people — and possibly 11 — were murdered.

In Death Valley 125 miles southeast of here, a green-and-white former school bus marks where the nomadic hippie clan led by Charles Manson finally ended its journey.

From there, 26 members of the Manson "family" were brought under arrest to Independence, a small town in the shadow of the Sierra Nevada.

Sheriff's officers here thought the hippie band was guilty of car theft. And, noting that even the women among them wore sheath knives, possibly worse, they put out the names of the 26 in inter-city teletypes.

When detectives from Los Angeles arrived to question members of the family, and took nine of them away, local officers found out why they were wanted.

The officers heard the name "Tate." They saw the penal code section for which they were wanted: 187. Murder.

Manson, 34, who has a five-page criminal record, including assault with a deadly weapon, theft, arson and car theft, is in the Inyo County jail here. No charges have been filed against him in the Tate case.
But authorities say he was the ringleader of the band of wanderers whose members included at least a half-dozen who specialized in murder. Investigators said followers sometimes spoke of him as "Jesus."

In a dimly lit Independence motel room, where paint peeled off the ceiling over the bed where an infant sucked a pacifier, two of the young women who deserted comfortable, middle-class homes to follow Manson described him Monday night:

"He was magnetic," said Sandra Good Pugh, 26. "His motions were like magic, it seemed like. The first time I saw him he was petting a cat. I don't know why that struck me, but he seemed so kind."

"He gave off a lot of magic," said Lynn Fromme, 21. "Everyone was always so happy around him. But he was a sort of changeling. He seemed to change every time I saw him. He seemed ageless..."

Manson is a short man, with brown hair and eyes, who is a musician, the women said.

"The first time I heard him sing," said Mrs. Pugh, "it was like an angel. He wrote songs. Made them up as he went along. Some were beautiful, happy songs. Others would be sad and moving."

The Manson family started from the Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco on April 12, 1968, in an old school bus converted into living quarters for 14 young men and women.

Mrs. Pugh and Miss Fromme weren't with him, then. The family's membership shifted slightly almost daily, as some left, others joined. On the way south from San Francisco the newest member arrived: a baby born in the bus "somewhere along the line."

They were financing their trip on a credit card brought with her by Patricia Krenwinkel when she defected from the middle class one day in September 1967. She had apparently met Manson, and had left town with him immediately.

It was at an abandoned movie ranch near Los Angeles, where the hippies had established a commune last August, that Mrs. Pugh and Miss Fromme joined the family. There, police say, they converted stolen Volkswagens into dune buggies.

Then Manson moved again. It was a different bus, but a similar exodus; everyone climbed aboard. They moved quickly.

This time it was to Death Valley.

Investigators said the men again opened a Volkswagen theft ring. It was for this — and chasing miners off with knives — that National Park Service rangers, California Highway Patrolmen and sheriff's officers arrested the 26 members of the family.

The two young women said that they noticed the men leaving on "four-day hikes on the desert." But, they said, they knew of no car thievery or murder.

After the mass arrest, they were taken into custody by Los Angeles detectives, questioned and released. Mrs. Pugh was charged by authorities here with possession of a stolen pistol, and the girls are waiting at Independence for her court date there Dec. 15.
