LOS ANGELES, Jul. 28 – Linda Kasabian’s account of life with cultist Charles Manson and his “family” met a veritable barrage of more than 50 defense objections and an unsuccessful mistrial motion Monday in the Tate-LaBianca trial.

The state’s key witness was repeatedly interrupted as she testified how she came to live at the Spahn Movie Ranch in Chatsworth with the nomadic clan, but Dep. Dist. Atty. Vincent T. Bugliosi did produce testimony that:

— She was invited to the ranch by “Gypsy,” a young woman named Katherine Share, on July 4, 1969, and went because her attempted reconciliation with her husband, Robert, had failed.

—The first time Manson saw her he “felt my legs and seemed to think they were OK or whatever.”

— She spent the first night in a ranch cave and met Manson there the second night.

— About 20 family members, mostly girls, lived on the Spahn Ranch all the time, sleeping in the saloon, two shacks and a trailer.

— The group camped out.in nearby Devil’s Canyon for about a week, then moved to a more remote location selected by Manson, who o-dered a walkie-talkie system set up.

“We lived together as one family, as a family who lives together, mother and a father and children, but we were just all one, and Charlie was the head,” she said.

When Bugliosi asked what Manson had done or ordered others to do, the defense successfully objected, blocking Mrs. Kasabian’s replies.

Little more than a month after she joined the family the prosecution claims, Mrs. Kasahian witnessed three of seven murders committed by Manson family members. She has been offered immunity from prosecution if she will testify.

Is there any other reason why she decided to talk about what she knows of the murders, Bugliosi asked.

“I strongly believe in truth and I feel that truth should be spoken,’ she replied.

But, as the petite, 21-year-old mother of two entered the courtroom the battle began over what she might say.

“I object to this witness on the grounds that she is incompetent and insane,” shouted Irving A. Kanarek, Mamma’s attorney.

Bugliosi also shouting, charged that Kanarek’s conduct was “unbelievable” and asked Superior Judge Charles H. Older to hold the defense attorney in contempt of court for “gross misconduct,” No action was taken on the request.

Kanarek carried the brunt of the defense’s opposition to Mrs. Kasabian’s testimony. He repeatedly objected that Bugliosi’s examination was outside the scope of the Los Angeles County Grand Jury’s indictment of Manson and the others.

There were repeated and Iong conferences at the bench out of hearing of the jury of seven men and five women.

It was reported that the defense attempted to block Mrs. Kasabian’s testimony entirely on grounds that she had taken LSD more than 300 times.

Mrs. Kasabian avoided the steady stares of the three women defendants as she sat on the witness stand during the at-bench conferences.

Manson’s three “girls’ wore the cultist’s “X” mark on their foreheads Monday when they came to court.

The “Xs” appeared to have been freshly scratched before Susan Atkins, 22, Patricia Krenwinkel, 22, and Leslie Van Houten, 19, took their places at the defense table near Manson.

The 35-year-old clan leader appeared Friday with an “X’ cut into his forehead to proclaim that he had “Xed” himself out he world.

“I stand with my X, with my love, with my God and by myself,” Manson was quoted as saying in a statement distributed by a writer for the Free Press, an underground weekly publication.

“No man or lawyer is speaking for me I speak for myself I am not allowed to speak with words so I have spoken with a mark I will be wearing on my forehead.”

In his opening statement, Bugliosi said the prosecution expects Manson to claim he was neither leader of the nomadic “family” nor had ordered anyone to commit murder.

“We therefore intend to offer evidence showing Manion was, in fact, the dictatorial leader of the family, that everyone in the family was slavishly obedient to him … the attorney said.

Manson and Miss Atkins and Miss Krenwinkel are charged with seven counts of murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the killings of actress Sharon Tate and six others.

Miss Van Houten is accused of two counts of murder in the deaths of wealthy grocer Leno LaBianca, 44, and his wife, Rosemary, 38.
