LOS ANGELES, Dec. 23 – Disruption followed disruption, then turned violent Tuesday in the Tate-LaBianca trial as prosecutor Vincent T. Bugliosi methodically led jurors in final argument through testimony about the seven killings.

Charles Manson was removed from the court once. Susan Atkins and Patricia Krenwinkel were taken out twice, and Leslie Van Houten three times.

The second time, “Sadie” Atkins grabbed at Bugliosi’s sheaf of yellow legal-sized paper as she walked between the rostrum he was using and the jury box.

The surprised prosecutor grabbed the papers with both hands and made a pawing motion in Miss Atkins’ direction.

“You little bitch,” he said.

Bugliosi told newsmen he did not swing at the defendant but was attempting to fend her hand away as she reached for his notes and other transcripts.

When Miss Atkins was removed from the courtroom Monday, along with the two other “girls,” she had slapped a display card from an easel into Bugliosi’s back.

The three woman defendants may not get another chance to be in the courtroom during final arguments. Superior Judge Charles H. Older was reported to be angry when they told defense attorneys they would behave, then did not.

Jurors were seated in the box at the beginning of the afternoon, session Tuesday when Miss Van Houten, a 20-year-old brunette, stood, faced the jury and said:

“Ladies and gentlemen, I have a defense to put on…”

“Wait awhile. Wait awhile. Wait awhile,” Bugliosi interrupted. “If you want to testify, take the stand.”

Older ordered her removal.

The prosecutor started to talk about the testimony of Barbara Hoyt, a former member of the “family” who claims she was given an overdose of LSD in a hamburger in Honolulu.

Miss Atkins stood and attempted to address the jury about Miss Hoyt’s use of LSD. She grabbed at Bugliosi’s papers and kicked at a woman bailiff as she was led away.

Bugliosi began again, as “Katie” Krenwinkel sat alone at the counsel table. Suddenly, she stood up and turned toward members of the press in the audience.

“You people and your greed have tried to make us a product instead of telling the truth,” she cried. “And, you are going to be eaten up by your own lies.” She was removed.

Manson, who had been removed after an outburst in the morning session, did not return to the courtroom Tuesday afternoon. Older is reportedly prepared to permit his return if he will promise to observe court decorum.

The disruption began for the first time Tuesday shortly after the beginning of the morning session. Miss Van Houten had asked Older to consider her motion to substitute attorney Mary Fielder for her court-appointea lawyer, Maxwell Keith, and the judge refused.

“Why don’t you kill us here?” asked Miss Krenwinkel.

“Someone should bring you a bowl of water, so you can wash your hands,” chimed in Miss Atkins.

The three girls were removed, but Miss Van Houten returned after a brief recess.

She was removed a second time when Judge Older questioned Mrs. Fielder and denied a request that she be substituted for Keith.

On other occasions, the judge had warned the defendants several times to be quiet, but Tuesday he acted promptly when the four did not obey immediately.

Security was tightened at the trial Tuesday.

Everyone but officers of the court was searched before admission to the courtroom. Formerly, only daily visitors were searched.

Sheriff’s deputies offered no explanation for the change but it was reported authorities had received information about a possible threat to the courtroom.

Between interruptions, Bugliosi exhaustively went over testimony about the victims’ wounds, the defendants’ fingerprints and a long-barreled .22 caliber revolver identified as the murder weapon.

“The total number of stab wounds in the five Tate victims was 102,” the prosecutor said. One hundred and two stab wounds!”

He displayed a photo of victim Voityck Frykowski’s scalp wounds — 13 deep lacerations — which he described as “unbelievably vicious,” and suggested they had been caused by the butt of the .22 revolver.

Citing expert testimony, Bugliosi said that a bullet found in the body of hair stylist Jay Sebring had unquestionably come from that weapon.

Furthermore, markings on seven empty shell casings still in the revolver when it was found about three miles from the Tate house matched markings on an empty shell casing found at Spahn Ranch, he said.

Bugliosi argued that the prosecution had “conclusively and scientifically” proved the death weapon came from the ranch, where witnesses testified they had seen Manson firing it.

He said fingerprints found at the Tate house had placed “Katie” Krenwinkel and Charles (Tex) Watson, another member of the ‘family,” inside the Tate house on the night of the murders “beyond doubt.”

And, the prosecutor cited coincidence.

He said testimony had showed that Manson visited actress Sharon Tate’s home at least twice and had been next door to Leno and Rosemary LaBianca’s Los Feliz district home several times.

Bugliosi claimed it “just simply can’t be coincidence” that in one of the world’s largest cities, Manson just happened to visit two houses where seven persons were killed.

He said it “just can’t be coincidence” that Danny DeCarlo, a former member of the Manson family, testified that he saw a gun, rope and clothing at Spahn Ranch similar to those found at the murder scene or near the Tate house.

For the second time in a week, there were unconfirmed reports Tuesday that hacksaw blades had been found in Manson’s cell in County Jail As on the first occasion, the sheriff’s office declined comment on the report.
