LOS ANGELES, Nov. 3 – Cult leader Charles Manson, already under sentence of death for the seven Tate-LaBianca slayings, was convicted Tuesday of two more murders and had to be hustled from the courtroom after the verdicts were read.

A jury in Superior Judge Raymond Choate’s court found Manson guilty of the 1069 killings of musician-student Gary Hinman, 34, and ranch hand Donald (Shorty) Shea, 35, and of an additional count conspiracy in the death of Hinman.

Manson showed little emotion when the jury’s verdict — reached after nine days of deliberation — was announced by court clerk Joyce Holt.

However, a few minutes later, when Choate rejected Manson, oft-repeated request to dismiss I. A. Kanarek as his attorney, the hippie leader launched into another of his tirades and had to be taken from the courtroom by bailiffs.

On the way out, he called back to the jury of eight men and four women, “Are you proud? Are you proud?”

Choate ordered that the penalty trial begin Thursday.

Manson faces three more death penalties — conspiracy to commit murder carries the same penalty as first-degree murder — to go with the eight he already has (there also was a conspiracy conviction in the Tate-LaBianca case), or life in prison.

His second trial for the most part was conducted from its beginning on June 23 without the worldwide attention which was focused on his 9 1/2-month trial for the Tate and LaBianca slayings.

There seldom were more than a handful of spectators in Choate’s Hall of Justice courtroom, but the 36-year-old Manson was seldom there, either.

He spent most of the trial in an adjacent lockup, usually at his request, and at other times on order of the court because of disorderly conduct.

In all, nine members of Manson’s so-called “family” have been charged with murder and seven have been convicted: Manson, Susan Atkins, Robert Beausoleil, Charles (Tex) Watson, Leslie Van Houten, Patricia Krenwinkel and Steve Grogan.

Beausoleil and Grogan were found guilty of the Hinman killing and the others of the Tate-LaBianca slayings. Beausoleil was sentenced to death, Watson is awaiting the same disposition and Grogan’s trial is in the penalty stage.

Of the remaining two, Bruce Davis (for Hinman and Shea) and Mary T. Brunner (for Hinman) still must face trial.

Several other Manson followers remain to be prosecuted for other offenses, including robbery — a Hawthorne surplus store and West Covina beer distributor — and escape.

The escape charges, against Kenneth (Curly) Como and Sandra Good, stem from Como’s daring flight from County Jail two weeks ago, with the alleged aid of Miss Good. He was recaptured after seven hours of freedom.

The Hinman-Shea murders are the last with which Manson is charged.
