Manson Girls Begin Protest ‘Walk’ On Knees

Five members of hippie-cult leader Charles Manson’s so-called family start a five-day trek from Hollywood’s Sunset Strip to the Hall of Justice in the Civic Center. The ten mile walk will be made on their knees “in witness to the second coming of Manson.” Manson is now on trial for the 1969 murder of musician Gary Hinman

LOS ANGELES, Jun. 24 — Five female members of convicted killer Charles Manson’s “family” began a 10-mile walk on their knees Wednesday, for what they said would be their leader’s “second coming.”

The group set out from West Hollywood, the Sunset Strip area, intending to take five days to reach the Civic Center, location of the court house where Manson is going through his second murder trial.

The group was led by Sandra Good, 26, one of the best known of Manson’s followers not in jail. The others were Catherine Share, Lynette Fromme, Brenda McCann, Kitty Lutesinger and Mary Bruner.

Miss Good said they were making the walk on their knees “in witness to the second coming of Manson.” She did not say what she meant.

Miss Share and Miss Fromme were among Manson family members sentenced in April to 90 days in jail for feeding an LSD-spiked hamburger to a witness for the prosecution in Manson’s first trial. The witness was hospitalized, but recovered and testified.

Manson and three female followers were convicted in the first trial of first degree murder for the seven Tate-LaBianca killings.

Manson is currently on trial for the 1969 killings of Malibu musician Gary Hinman and Donald “Shorty” Shea, who worked at the Spahn Movie Ranch, where the Manson family lived.

    Kitty walking 10 miles on her knees after basically starting the Family implosion.
    She was the daughter parents have nightmares about having.

    I saw an interview of Gypsy where she was saying that she has permanent scares on her knees from the walk. Also something about not finishing the walk because she was arrested during for an outstanding warrant. Something like that if my memory serves me.

    It’s interesting that Atkins will be remembered as the one to bring them down, when it was Lutesinger who got it started

    It’s also interesting that Leslie Van Houten, between her two police interviews with Mike McGann, and a previous one with Lt Burdick, in Nov ’69, gave away so much info and pretty much dropped the Family in it, as regards their place in the murders ~ yet she was never held to be one of the blabbermouths, either.

    The only negative word I’ve ever heard from anyone connected with the Family regarding Kitty, was ascribed to Susan Atkins, when she commented that her life wasn’t worth anything, after finding out she implicated her in the Hinman murder.
