More               than               once,               she               was               blamed               for               spreading               a               dose               of               the               clap               among               clan               members,               and               reportedly,               she               was               once               banished               from               the               fold.

Atkins               and               some               other               clan               members               lived               in               the               idyllic               artists               community               of               Mendocino               in               northern               California               for               a               while,               but               they               were               busted               after               distributing               LSD               to               local               kid.

The               Manson-affiliated               group               was               dubbed               "The               Witches               of               Mendocino"               when               they               went               on               trial.
               In               October               of               1968,               Susan               Atkins               gave               birth               to               a               boy               either               she               or               Manson               (who               was               not               the               father)               she               tagged               with               the               strange               name               "Zezozecee               Zadfrack."               She               took               refuge               after               the               birth               at               the               a               religious               retreat               called               Fountain               Of               The               World.

In               less               than               It               was               believed               that               she               more               than               once               a               year,               Zezozecee's               mother               would               play               a               part               in               one               of               the               most               infamous               murder               sprees               in               American               criminal               history.



               First               Murder               

               The               first               murder               in               which               Susan               Atkins               had               a               hand               in               was               that               of               music               teacher               Gary               Hinman,               whom               Spahn               Ranch               habitué               Bobby               Beausoleil,               a               talented               young               musician,               had               lived               with               before               throwing               in               his               lot               with               the               Manson               clan.

Hinman               moonlighted               as               a               drug               manufacturer,               and               as               the               story               goes,               in               mid-1969,               Hinman               had               whipped               up               a               batch               of               LSD               that               Beausoleil               --               who               had               appeared               in               'Kenneth               Anger'               's               underground               film               "Lucifer               Rising,"               for               which               he               had               composed               the               music               --               sold               to               members               of               a               motorcycle               gang               that               frequented               the               Spahn               Ranch               for               $1,000.

The               bikers               claimed               the               LSD               was               of               poor               quality               and               wanted               their               jack               back.



               In               July               1969,               Atkins,               Mary               Brunner,               and               Beausoleil,               allegedly               accompanied               by               Manson,               went               to               Hinman's               home.

Explaining               their               plight               with               the               bikers,               Hinman               refused               to               refund               the               cash,               claiming               the               LSD               he               had               sold               them               was               potent.

Manson               then               allegedly               sliced               off               Hinman's               ear               with               a               sword               before               exiting               the               house.

The               remaining               crew               then               reportedly               held               Hinman               hostage               for               three               days.

Hinman               refused               to               come               up               with               the               cash,               and               on               the               third               day,               either               Atkins               or               Beausoleil               stabbed               him.

In               turn,               he               was               suffocated               by               all               three               of               his               captors.

Atkins               provided               a               theatrical               flourish               before               taking               her               leave,               writing               "Political               Piggy"               in               Hinman's               blood               on               the               wall.
               That               three               people               would               hold               one               man               hostage               at               gun-point               for               three               days               over               $1,000               that               he               claims               he               did               not               have               before               murdering               him               could               be               a               true               story.

Another               story               recounted               at               the               time               of               the               Manson-Atkins               trial               was               that               the               Hinman               killing               had               been               the               result               of               a               busted               drug               deal.

Allegedly,               Manson               had               given               Tex               Watson               --               who               was               a               flake,               rather               than               being               the               "right-hand"               man               of               the               Manson               "Family"               that               Bugliosi               claimed               --               $2,000               to               buy               some               drugs               from               Bernard               Crowe,               an               African               American               dealer               tagged               "Lotsa               Poppa,"               so               called               as               he               was               very               big               and               fat.

Watson               had               allegedly               dealt               with               Lotsa               Poppa               before,               so               there               was               little               suspicion               when               he               went               into               the               bathroom               with               the               drugs               and               the               cash,               supposedly               to               relieve               himself.

What               Tex               actually               did               was               defenestrate               Lotsa               Poppa's               place               with               the               drugs               and               Manson's               cash,               and               then               failed               to               inform               Charlie               his               peccadillo.
               Lotsa               Poppa               put               the               word               out               on               the               street               that               he               was               going               to               have               both               Watson               and               Manson               killed,               as               he               believed               Manson               was               behind               the               rip-off.

When               Manson               heard               the               news,               as               the               alternative               story               goes,               he               panicked.

What               Manson               didn't               know               was               that               Lotsa               Poppa               was               just               a               low-level               functionary               and               a               blow-hard,               and               was               just               sounding               off,               having               never               resorted               to               violence               before.

Drugs               fuel               paranoia,               and               Manson               believed               Lotsa               Poppa               was               connected               with               the               Black               Panthers,               who               allegedly               controlled               a               good               deal               of               the               L.A.

drug               trade,               and               that               his               life               was               in               jeopardy.

What               Charlie               wanted               to               do               was               flee               the               Spahn               Ranch               and               the               Los               Angeles               area               for               Death               Valley,               but               he               needed               cash.
               Manson               attempted               a               sit               down               to               smooth               things               out               with               Lotsa               Poppa               in               Hollywood,               at               an               apartment               one               of               Tex               Watson's               doxies               lived               in               across               from               the               Magic               Castle.

Apparently,               Lotsa               Poppa's               bluff               blew               Charlie's               mind               right               out               of               the               box               and               he               drew               a               .22               caliber               Buntline               Special               single-action               revolver               and               shot               the               fat               man               in               the               chest,               then               took               off.

Manson               believed               he               had               killed               Lotsa               Poppa,               whose               lotsa               fat               and               the               small               caliber               of               the               bullet               saved               his               life.

Drug               dealers               are               not               ones               to               go               to               the               police,               and               Lotsa               Poppa               really               wasn't               connected,               so               he               just               let               things               chill               as               he               recovered.

(Bugliosi               used               the               incident               during               the               trial               to               show               that               Charlie               was               capable               of               murder.)
               Manson               did               not               know               this.

He               did               know               he               needed               to               get               out               of               the               Spahn               Ranch,               where               he               was               known,               and               fast.

The               clan               had               been               supplementing               their               income               stealing               cars               and               stealing,               and               their               position               was               increasingly               precarious.

Drugs               were               being               dealt               at               the               Spahn               Ranch,               outlaw               bikers               were               around,               and               it               seemed               to               Manson               that               he               would               soon               be               slammed               back               in               stir.

He               needed               money,               and               as               the               story               goes,               believed               that               Gary               Hinman,               the               drug               manufacturer               cum               music               teacher,               had               upwards               of               $20,000               in               cash               lying               around               his               house.

Manson               needed               some               fast               money               to               finance               the               move               to               Death               Valley,               and               Hinman               was               the               likely               candidate               to               become               his               banker.
               In               this               story,               Hinman               was               held               for               three               days               and               mercilessly               beaten               --               even               had               his               ear               sliced               off               by               Manson               --               to               get               information               on               where               he               had               hidden               his               stash               of               cash,               which               they               all               --               including               his               ex-roommate,               who               knew               him               well               --               assumed               was               a               great               deal               of               money,               not               just               the               G-note               from               the               disgruntled               bikers.

(In               the               mythology               that               was               Bugliosi's               "Helter               Skelter,"               perhaps               one               should               note               that               the               other               outlaw               bike               gang               that               were               rivals               to               Marlon               Brando's               gang               in               "The               Wild               One"               were               named               "The               Beetles"               and               likely               were               an               inspiration               for               the               Liverpool               band's               name;               Brando               as               "The               Wild               One"               appears               in               biker               drag               on               the               cover               of               "Sgt.

Pepper's               Lonely               Heart's               Club               Band,"               the               cultural               equivalent               of               Eliot's               "The               Waste               Land"               to               the               Baby               Boom               generation.)               Hinman               threatened               to               go               to               the               police               after               his               ordeal,               and               Beausoleil               called               Manson               and               was               told,               in               cryptic               terms,               to               kill               Hinman.

(Thus,               Charlie               was               guilty               of               murder.)               

               Massacre               on               Cielo               Drive               

               Whether               it               was               the               result               of               a               broken               drug               deal               or               the               bikers'               demand               for               a               refund,               the               fact               was               that               Gary               Hinman               was               murdered.

Beausoleil,               the               former               roommate               of               the               slain               Hinman,               would               naturally               have               been               a               prime               suspect               in               his               slaying,               He               eventually               was               arrested               in               northern               California               driving               Hinman's               car               and               using               his               credit               cards,               both               of               which               Bobby               claimed               that               Hinman               had               freely               given               him.

It               seemed               like               an               open               and               shut               case,               but               for               the               revelation               of               who               had               been               in               on               it               with               Beausoleil.

It               is               unarguable               that               Manson               knew               the               layout               of               the               estate,               but               whether               that               effected               the               murder               crew's               ability               to               commit               the               crime               can               be               put               up               to               question.

If               Manson               was               speaking               in               anything               but               metaphor,               then               he               was               beyond               psychosis               and               was               insane,               and               couldn't               be               responsible               for               his               actions.

This               was               the               course               that               Bugliosi               was               navigating,               the               Scylla               and               Charybdis               of               trying               to               convict               Charles               Manson:               that               he               was               likely               insane               and               could               be               perceived               as               such               by               a               jury.

So:               How               to               convict               him?
               Sadie               Mae               Glutz               gave               Bugliosi               the               smoking               gun.



               Smoking               Gun               

               In               October               1969,               the               Barker               Ranch               in               Death               Valley               that               Manson               and               the               clan               had               moved               to               was               raided               after               Charlie               --               a               fervent               environmentalist               to               this               day               --               burned               a               Forest               Service               tractor.

Members               of               the               Manson               clan               were               arrested               for               arson               (Charlie               was               not               there               at               the               time).

               Sadie,               that               is               Susan               Atkins,               supposedly               loved               to               talk,               and               talk               she               did,               according               to               her               cell-mates.

She               talked               to               them               about               the               Sharon               Tate               killings,               claiming               that               it               was               she               who               had               done               it               along               with               the               gang               congregated               around               Manson.

She               told               her               cell-mates               about               Manson's               "Helter               Skelter"               philosophy,               that               Manson               had               decided               to               get               the               race               war               underway               by               murdering               prominent               Caucasians               and               blaming               it               on               Afro-Americans,               such               as               the               Black               Panthers,               who               would               then               feel               the               retaliation               of               the               white               race.

(That               the               Black               Panthers               were               being               systematically               destroyed               by               the               FBI's               Cointelpro               program,               which               likely               included               assassination,               is               besides               the               point.)               Thus,               would               the               rough               beast               of               the               racial               Apocalypse               be               unleashed.
               Atkins,               a               self-confessed,               remorseless               murderess,               was               obviously               mad,               and               the               Helter               Skelter               scenario               might               have               been               an               elaboration               of               her               feverish               imagination,               or               a               gloss               put               on               Manson's               own               racial/sociological               theories               born               in               the               internecine               warfare               of               prison               life,               which               broke               along               racial               lines.

Then               again,               it               could               have               been               something               cooked               up               by               prosecutors               who               coached               her               with               the               story               as               she               was,               at               one               point,               interested               in               saving               her               own               hide,               put               in               jeopardy               by               the               Hinman               murder.
               Ironically,               one               of               Atkins               two               cell-mates               who               heard               her               jail-house               confession               had               been               an               acquaintance               of               Jay               Sebring               --               one               of               the               victims               at               the               Polanski-Tate               residence               -               and               had               actually               been               to               10050               Cielo               Drive               (properly               pronounced               "cello,"               the               Italian               word               that               means               "Heaven"               was               given               to               the               stringed               instrument               as               it               was               the               sound               of               heaven),               the               site               of               the               Tate               massacre,               and               quizzed               her               about               the               property               to               see               if               she               was               telling               the               truth               --               whether               she               had               actually               been               there               --               or               was               just               repeating               what               she               had               read               in               the               newspapers.

The               cell-mate               realized               she               was               telling               the               truth,               and               attempted               to               inform               the               L.A.P.D.,               according               to               Bugliosi.

However,               such               a               wild               coincidence               --               that               the               cell-mate               of               Sharon               Tate's               killer               would               have               known               Tate's               ex-fiancée,               Jay               Sebring,               who               had               allegedly               taken               her               to               the               house               SEVEN               YEARS               before               the               Tate               killings,               whose               victims               dispatched               to               heaven               had               included               Sebring               himself,               suggests               that               she               might               have               been               a               plant.
               It               is               quite               probable               that               Charles               Manson               WAS               concerned               with               a               coming               racial               Armageddon               that               DID               seem               imminent               in               the               late               1960s               after               years               of               inner-city               riots               (riots               recently               matched               by               those               of               middle-class               university               students               protesting               the               Vietnam               War               and               the               strictures               of               the               Establishment)               and               that               he               DID               want               to               move               himself               and               his               friends               as               far               away               from               the               failing               civilization               as               possible               as               a               survival               mechanism.

Hoping               to               be               spared               the               death               penalty,               Atkins               --               who               was               promised               immunity               from               prosecution               --               swore               that               the               Gary               Hinman               murder               and               the               Tate-LaBianca               murders               has               been               committed               under               the               express               orders               of               Charles               Manson.

Atkins               claimed               that               it               was               she               who               stabbed               eight-months               pregnant               Sharon               Tate               to               death,               a               particularly               brutal               act               even               within               the               context               of               the               Cielo               Drive               massacre               in               that               the               group               of               murderers               had               kept               Tate,               who               pleaded               for               the               life               of               her               unborn               baby,               alive               to               the               last.

Restraining               Tate               while               her               friends               were               brutally               butchered               before               her               eyes,               Atkins               said               that               she               had               coldly               told               the               terrified               actress               that               she               would               be               murdered:               "Look,               bitch,               I               don't               care               a               thing               about               you.

               She               further               testified               that               she               stabbed               Tate               repeatedly               as               the               dying               actress               cried               out               in               anguish               for               her               own               mother               before               perishing.

She               then               tasted               the               blood               of               Sharon               Tate               that               was               on               her               hand,               figuratively               sucking               the               life               out               of               her.

               During               her               testimony               before               the               Grand               Jury,               Atkins               testified               that               Manson               was               "the               only               complete               man               I               have               ever               met"               who               she               believed               him               to               be               Jesus               Christ               incarnate.

There               was               no               limit               to               the               acts               she               would               undertake               for               Manson,               she               claimed.
               From               Atkins'               Grand               Jury               testimony               --               which               she               later               refuted,               thus               losing               her               immunity               --               indictments               were               obtained.

Manson,               Krenwinkel               and               Watson               were               arrested               and               a               warrant               issued               for               Kasabian,               whose               whereabouts               were               unknown.

After               being               arrested,               Kasabian               was               offered               the               immunity               deal               that               Atkins,               out               of               loyalty               to               Manson,               had               surrendered.

               The               Manson               "Family"               trial               is               one               of               the               handful               of               courtroom               dramas               that               legitimately               can               lie               claim               to               being               "The               Trial               of               the               Century."               Not               only               did               it               symbolize               the               death               of               the               '60s               and               a               waning               of               the               challenge               to               authority               by               the               youthful               idealism               of               the               counter-culture               (coming               on               the               heels               of               violent               student               rebellions               in               Paris,               the               U.S.

               By               the               time               of               the               trial,               Atkins               had               recanted               her               testimony               and               was               back               within               the               bosom               of               the               clan.

Along               with               Manson,               Krenwinkel               and               Van               Houten,               Atkins               was               tried               for               first-degree               murder               for               the               Tate-LaBianca               killings.

(Tex               Watson               was               tried               separately               at               a               later               date.)               The               trial               was               full               of               theatrics:               The               women               defendants               carved               an               X               on               their               foreheads               and               shaved               their               heads               to               show               their               solidarity               with               Manson,               who               had               similarly               carved               an               X               on               himself,               and               constantly               disrupted               the               courtroom.

On               the               stand,               when               Atkins               was               asked               if               she               thought               the               killing               of               eight               people               was               unimportant,               her               response               was               a               question:               Was               the               killing               of               thousands               with               napalm               (in               Vietnam)               important?

As               Manson               had               said,               look               into               my               eyes               and               you               will               see               yourself:               The               trial               held               up               a               mirror               to               a               dysfunctional               America.

American               society               --               which               had               been               rejected               by               Manson               and               his               clan               of               drifters,               dropouts               and               runaways               --               was               itself               indicting               the               U.S.

               Herbert               Marcuse,               one               of               the               New               School               for               Social               Research               (Frankfurt               am               Main,               Germany)               veterans               who               had               synthesized               Freud               and               Marx,               has               claimed               at               the               time               that               the               U.S.

was               a               society               mortally               diseased               from               its               embrace               of               one-dimensional               materialism.

As               a               sick               society,               it               had               sought               to               expiate               its               psycho-sexual               sins               by               burning               the               living               flesh               off               of               Vietnamese               peasants               with               napalm               bombs.

Embracing               the               Youth               Revolution,               Marcuse               had               advocated               a               progressive               politics               beyond               sterile,               puritanical               Leninism               (then               in               vogue               as               Maoism,               famously               attacked               by               John               Lennon               in               The               Beatles'               song               "Revolution               #1,"               another               "White               Album"               ditty).

Marcusean               politics               vulgarly               could               be               seen               as               resistance               through               sex:               release               from               the               uptight,               hypocritical,               one-dimensional               society               of               materialism,               i.e.

               Fall               Out               

               In               1974,               Atkins               had               a               falling               out               with               Manson               and               the               clan               that               still               clung               to               him               after               she               began               corresponding               with               born-again               Christian               Bruce               Davis,               a               clan               member               who               had               rejected               Manson               &               Co.

for               mainstream               salvation.

Atkins               subsequently               claimed               that               the               real               Jesus               Christ,               not               the               simulacrum               that               was               Charles               Manson,               appeared               to               her               in               her               prison               cell.

She               became               a               born-again               Christian               and               a               model               prisoner,               publishing               a               1977               autobiography,               "Child               of               Satan,               Child               of               God."               In               the               book,               she               described               how               in               September               1974,               her               cell               door               opened               and               "a               brilliant               light               poured               over               her."               Atkins               believed               the               light               was               Jesus,               bearing               forgiveness.
               In               1981,               via               the               mail,               she               met               and               married               Donald               Laisure,               who               claimed               he               was               a               millionaire.

Upon               discovering               that               her               husband               was               not               a               millionaire               and               had               previously               been               married               35               times,               she               had               the               marriage               annulled.

The               model               prisoner               eventually               earned               an               Associates               degree               via               correspondence               courses               and               organized               her               own               ministry.

She               married               Harvard               law               student               James               Whitehouse               in               1987,               who               has               represented               her               at               parole               hearings               since               2000.
               In               1998,               Atkins               denounced               Manson               in               a               response               to               a               letter               from               a               "fan."               She               wrote,               "Charles               Manson               is               not               a               God               or               prophet.

He               is               a               mean,               bitter,               evil               little               man,               rightly               behind               bars.

He               is               a               liar               and               a               thief.

I               have               seen               him               terrorize,               brutalize,               beat               and               threaten               teenage               boys               and               girls...Manson               only               wrecks               lives."
               Atkins               was               continually               denied               parole               on               the               basis               that               she               continues               to               show               no               remorse               for               the               killings.

Her               position               eventually               evolved,               and               she               claimed               that               she               was               present               during               the               Hinman               and               Tate               murders               but               did               not               actually               participate               in               the               killing.



               In               her               address               to               the               California               Parole               Board               in               December               2000,               Atkins               said,               "I               don't               have               to               just               make               amends               to               the               victims               and               families.

               In               2003,               she               made               the               contention               that               she               was               a               political               prisoner               in               a               lawsuit               filed               against               California               Governor               'Gray               Davis',               as               his               policy               opposing               parole               for               most               murderers               meant               she               was               kept               behind               bars.

Her               petition               was               denied.
               Her               inability               to               show               remorse               and               her               failure               to               accept               responsibility               for               her               part               in               the               brutal               murders               was               the               reason               she               was               turned               down               for               parole               11               times,               the               last               time               in               February               2005.
               Cancer               &               Death               

               According               to               the               Official               Susan               Atkins               Web               site               maintained               by               Susan               Atkins'               husband,               James               Whitehouse               (educated               at               Harvard               Law,               he               is               also               her               attorney),               Atkins               developed               terminal               brain               cancer               and               subsequently               requested               a               compassionate               release               from               prison               in               order               to               go               home               to               her               loved               ones               and               die               with               her               family.

She               was               treated               at               a               hospital               in               California's               Inland               Empire               region,               with               two               guards               constantly               watching               over               her.



               Then-Governor               Arnold               Schwarzenegger               and               Los               Angeles               County               District               Attorney               Steve               Colley               both               opposed               the               release               of               Atkins.

Speaking               of               the               Manson               massacres,               Schwarzenegger               said               on               the               day               of               the               hearing,               "Those               kind               of               crimes               are               just               so               unbelievable               that               I'm               not               for               that               compassionate               release               in               that               case."
               Schwarzenegger               had               met               Susan               Atkins               in               visits               to               the               California               Institute               for               Women               in               Corona,               California,               where               she               was               incarcerated               before               her               terminal               illness.
               Vincent               Bugliosi               came               out               in               favor               of               her               release,               but               Los               Angeles               County               District               Attorney               Steve               Cooley               stated               that               Atkins'               "horrific               crimes               alone               warrant               a               denial               of               her               request."

The               ruling               by               the               Parole               Board               was               unanimous.

Her               medical               treatment               cost               the               state               in               excess               of               $1.5               million               due               to               the               cost               of               both               her               treatment               and               the               expense               of               guarding               her               around-the-clock.
