Nancy Maddox loved the Bible, while her daughter, Kathleen, loved dancing and that's how it all began.  Nancy was married to Charlie Maddox, they lived in Ashland near the Ohio river and had 4 kids. Gleena, Aileene, Luther, and Ade Kathleen. In October 1913 Charlie Maddox died of pneumonia and in 1933,  Aileene died the same way her father did. Nancy was very persistent on teaching her children to live how the Bible instructs them to, but Kathleen always had a dream and that was to go out and dance. Dancing was considered very sinful in their Nazarene church. Despite Nancy's instructions, Kathleen went to Ohio across a bridge connecting the two to discover clubs. Kathleen ended up finding a club, Ritzy's Ray's and met a man named Colonel Scott. In Spring 1934 Kathleen discovered she was pregnant with Colonel's baby. Colonel fled from Kathleen with no intention in marrying her, so she met another man, William Manson. On November 12th, 1934, Charles Manson was born.

Kathleen and her brother, Luther were both sentenced to prison for a robbery.  Kathleen was sentenced to prison for five years for unarmed robbery, while Luther was sentenced for ten years for armed robbery.  Charles, also known as Charlie, named after his grandfather, had to stay with his Aunt Glenna,  Uncle Bill and cousin Jo Ann in McMechen, West Virginia. Charles father was not in his life and William divorced Kathleen. Charles was a disagreeable kid, craved being the center of attention, and put the blame on anybody else expect for himself for his actions. In elementary school Charles was a target for bullies. Charles was once exchanging insults with a larger boy, who then slapped Charles. Jo Ann stepped in to protect Charles, but when her teacher asked Charles  to explain what happened he lied. On page 30 it states, "But when Charlie was called over and asked to corroborate what Jo Ann had said, he claimed he didn't know anything about it. He just saw Jo Ann bite somebody."  Lying was a regualar thing for Charles. The best thing about him was his musical skills, he could sit and play piano for hours and pick up songs by ear.

Kathleen was very sensible in prison, there were no records found of her commiting any prison infractions. In late 1942 she was paroled after serving three years of her five-year sentence. Now all Kathleen wanted a peaceful family with her son. When Charles was reunited with his mother, the first few weeks were the happiest days of his life. Sadly, those happy days soon changed.

# data[].attributes.body
When Kathleen and Charles were reunited, Kathleen was quick to realize Charles tried to manipulate everybody, especially women. His intrest in people was dictated by what they could do for him. Kathleen still struggled with going out dancing and drinking. Most nights Kathleen would find somebody to be responsible for Charles. She was also on the hunt for a husband. Kathleen met Lewis in Alcholics Anonymous, they both weren't long term members. Kathleen managed to get her drinking under control, but Lewis did not. Lewis and Charles did not get along at all, but Lewis wanted to stay with Kathleen long term, unlike her other spouses so she stayed with him. Charles behavior only got worse, he started to steal small items. Kathleen didn't know what to do and felt guilty for her aberrant behavior, knowing it had a terrible infulence on Charles. Kathleen looked into different places she could place Charles. She found an Indiana school that sounded just right. The Gibault School for Boys in Terre Haute. Charles was sent there by his mother and was unhappy there. He fled back to Kathleen and she was hurt knowing she had to send him back. Charles ran away again about ten months after Christmas. Instead of going to his mother, he started to rob stores and stayed somewhere unknown at only thirteen-years-old. Charles soon got caught attempting to break into another store. This time he was sent to Indiana Boys School in Playfield. Charles and six other boys tried escaping in October 1949, but Charles got captured after less than 12 hours of freedom. Then, in Febuary 1951 at sixteen-years-old Charles tried again with two other sixteen-year-old boys. They were able to escape for almost three days before getting caught again. After they got caught, all three boys were sentenced to National Training School for Boys in Washington D.C. After being caughter with a razor blade to a victims throat, Charles was transferred to the Federal Reformatory in Petesburg. After committing eight serious disciplinary offenses Charles was transferred to a maximum security reformatory in Chillicothe, Ohio. In 1952 Charles stopped commiting serious infractions. He spent time working hard in academics. The staff at Chilliocthe were impressed so much they gave Charles a reward for meritorious service. Four months later the prison released Charles for recoginizing his changed attiude. At age nineteen, after seven years in six different reform schools Charles was released to live with his Aunt and Uncle and returned to McMechen.

After being released Charles biggest concern was where he was going to stay. Techically, he was required to live with Gleena and Bill, but Charles and Bill didn't get along.  Charles wanted to stay with his mother, but had some of the same problems with Lewis as he did with Bill. Kathleen was happy to see her son, she didn't think she could allow Charles to be anything more than an occasional overnight guest. Charles sometimes stayed with the Thomases, less frequently with Kathleen, most nights Charles lived with his grandmother, Nancy. Nancy still belived that Charles could make a godly life for himself with proper guidence. To live with Nancy, Charles had to faithfully attend Sunday morning services with her at the Nazerene. Along with attending church on Sunday's, Nancy also required Charles to join Sunday School class for teenagers, attend their meetings, and participate in their social functions. Charles was not found of going to the Sunday School class, but still attended anyway. Charles didn't care what the pastor thought of him, but he cared about a lot about the opinions of his classmates. Charles tried to impress his classmates by bragging about breaking the law, but his classmates reacted the exact opposite. After this incident, Charles became an outcast to society. Charles then met this women name Rosalie Willis and they hit it off, they started off very steady. A few months later they decided they were going to get married. After their marriage, Charles ended up making a few friends and was working. After a few months Roaslie became pregnant. Her trips to the doctor added onto the rent and for food. Charle's part time job didn't make enough money so he had to fall back onto his old ways. Spring 1955 turned into summer and Charles saw no reason to stay in McMechen. He left to see his mother in California. To get to California Charle stole a 1953 Mercury in Ohio and him and Rosalie drove to LA. They reconnected with Kathleen and while in LA a cop spotted the stolen Mercury that Charles was driving and arrested Charle. He pleaded the judge for leniency due to his wife being pregnant, arguring he needed to to stay out of prison to be with her. On Novemeber 7 Charles was sentenced to 5 years' probabtion. Charles still had to pay the charges for the stolen car and was supposed to go back to court in Febuary 1956. The chances of Charles going to jail was low, but probation was likely going to be added to the first sentence. Charles panicked and decided to run with his wife to Indianapolis. On March 10th Rosaline gave birth to their son, Charles Manson Jr. If Charles took any pleasure in his sons life it was for a short period of time. On March 14th Charles was taken into custody back to California. On April 23rd Charles probation was revoked. Since Charles turned twenty-one he was too old for reform school. He was sent to San Pedro's Terminal Island Penitentiary in Los Angeles Harbor for three years.

# data[].attributes.body
Charles inital months at Terminal Island were brightened by weekly visits from Rosalie and Charles Jr. Kathleen didn't come as often, but she still came regularly. Having visitors gave Charles a staus symbol and Charles enjoyed any sort of status, getting attention still remained important to him. Charles was transferred to Teriminals Island's minimum security cells in a seperate prison building. Then, abruptly, Rosalie stopped coming. Rosalie left West Virginia seeking for a more exciting in California. Sharing a small cramped apartment with her mother-in-law and having to her visit husband in jail weekly fell short of that. Kathleen had to break the news to Charles that Rosalie had left and is now living with another man. Charles, who thought he understood women so well, was completely taken by surprise. Charles was then served with divorce papers and his marriage was over. After Rosaline left, Charles was so stunned and that exhibited one of his periodic lapses of patience and self-control. On April 10th he was caught in the prison parking lot dressed as a civilian trying to hotwire a car. Terminal Island officals didn't give up on Charlie though. Terminal Island had a wide variety of self-improvement courses available to inmates. Charles spurned all of the oppurtunities that Terminal Island provided, expect for one. To date at Terminal Island, Charles unoffical tutors had to be pimps. Charles was very eager to absorb what they had to teach him. Charles latched onto someone whose wisdome guided many of his future acts. A man though he may never meet became Charles Manson's personal guru.

Dale Carnegie, born on a Missouri farm in 1888, was a successful salesman before he devolped self-help instructions that emphasized ways to win over individuals and audiences. The Dale Carnegie course was one of Terminal's Island's most popular program for its convicts. Other than lectures. class members were expected Carnegie's book. "How to Win Friends and Influrnece People." The first pages of "How to Win Friends and Influence People," seem to show the instinctive ways Charles manipulated people since childhood. It seemed as Dale Carnegie was one with Charles. Chapter Seven of the book contained advice that Charles acquired as the most vital tool to his manipulative aresenal. Page 61 of the book "Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson," states, "Let the other fellow feel that the idea is his." The answer to how he was able to convince others to do his dirty work was right there.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
How to Win Friends and Influence People is a self-help book written by Dale Carnegie, published in 1936. Over 30 million copies have been sold worldwide, making it one of the best-selling books of all time. In 2011, it was number 19 on Time Magazine's list of the 100 most influential books.

Carnegie had been conducting business education courses in New York since 1912. In 1934, Leon Shimkin of the publishing firm Simon & Schuster took one of Carnegie's 14-week courses on human relations and public speaking; afterward, Shimkin persuaded Carnegie to let a stenographer take notes from the course to be revised for publication. The initial five thousand copies of the book sold exceptionally well, going through 17 editions in its first year alone.

In 1981, a revised edition containing updated language and anecdotes was released. The revised edition reduced the number of sections from six to four, eliminating sections on effective business letters and improving marital satisfaction.

1. Get you out of a mental rut, give you new thoughts, new visions, new ambitions.

2. Enable you to make friends quickly and easily.

3. Increase your popularity.

4. Help you to win people to your way of thinking.

5. Increase your influence, your prestige, your ability to get things done.

6. Enable you to win new clients, new customers.

7. Increase your earning power.

8. Make you a better salesman, a better executive.

9. Help you to handle complaints, avoid arguments, keep your human contacts smooth and pleasant.

10. Make you a better speaker, a more entertaining conversationalist.

11. Make the principles of psychology easy for you to apply in your daily contacts.

12. Help you to arouse enthusiasm among your associates.

The book has six major sections. The core principles of each section are explained and quoted from below.

1. Don't criticize, condemn, or complain. Human nature does not like to admit fault. When people are criticized or humiliated, they rarely respond well and will often become defensive and resent their critic. To handle people well, we must never criticize, condemn or complain because it will never result in the behavior we desire.

2. Give honest and sincere appreciation. Appreciation is one of the most powerful tools in the world. People will rarely work at their maximum potential under criticism, but honest appreciation brings out their best. Appreciation, though, is not simple flattery, it must be sincere, meaningful and with love.

3. Arouse in the other person an eager want. To get what we want from another person, we must forget our own perspective and begin to see things from the point of view of others. When we can combine our desires with their wants, they become eager to work with us and we can mutually achieve our objectives.

1. Become genuinely interested in other people. "You can make more friends in two months by being interested in them, than in two years by making them interested in you." The only way to make quality, lasting friendships is to learn to be genuinely interested in them and their interests.

2. Smile. Happiness does not depend on outside circumstances, but rather on inward attitudes. Smiles are free to give and have an amazing ability to make others feel wonderful. Smile in everything that you do.

3. Remember that a person's name is, to that person, the sweetest and most important sound in any language. "The average person is more interested in their own name than in all the other names in the world put together." People love their names so much that they will often donate large amounts of money just to have a building named after themselves. We can make people feel extremely valued and important by remembering their name.

4. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves. The easiest way to become a good conversationalist is to become a good listener. To be a good listener, we must actually care about what people have to say. Many times people don't want an entertaining conversation partner; they just want someone who will listen to them.

5. Talk in terms of the other person's interest. The royal road to a person's heart is to talk about the things he or she treasures most. If we talk to people about what they are interested in, they will feel valued and value us in return.

6. Make the other person feel important - and do it sincerely. The golden rule is to treat other people how we would like to be treated. We love to feel important and so does everyone else. People will talk to us for hours if we allow them to talk about themselves. If we can make people feel important in a sincere and appreciative way, then we will win all the friends we could ever dream of.

1. The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it. Whenever we argue with someone, no matter if we win or lose the argument, we still lose. The other person will either feel humiliated or strengthened and will only seek to bolster their own position. We must try to avoid arguments whenever we can.

2. Show respect for the other person's opinions. Never say "You're wrong." We must never tell people flat out that they are wrong. It will only serve to offend them and insult their pride. No one likes to be humiliated; we must not be so blunt.

3. If you're wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically. Whenever we are wrong we should admit it immediately. When we fight we never get enough, but by yielding we often get more than we expected. When we admit that we are wrong people trust us and begin to sympathize with our way of thinking.

4. Begin in a friendly way. "A drop of honey can catch more flies than a gallon of gall." If we begin our interactions with others in a friendly way, people will be more receptive. Even if we are greatly upset, we must be friendly to influence people to our way of thinking.

5. Start with questions to which the other person will answer yes. Do not begin by emphasizing the aspects in which we and the other person differ. Begin by emphasizing and continue emphasizing the things on which we agree. People must be started in the affirmative direction and they will often follow readily. Never tell someone they are wrong, but rather lead them where we would like them to go with questions that they will answer "yes" to.

6. Let the other person do a great deal of the talking. People do not like listening to us boast, they enjoy doing the talking themselves. Let them rationalize and talk about the idea, because it will taste much sweeter to them in their own mouth.

7. Let the other person feel the idea is his or hers. People inherently like ideas they come to on their own better than those that are handed to them on a platter. Ideas can best be carried out by allowing others to think they arrived at it themselves.

8. Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view. Other people may often be wrong, but we cannot condemn them. We must seek to understand them. Success in dealing with people requires a sympathetic grasp of the other person's viewpoint.

9. Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires. People are hungering for sympathy. They want us to recognize all that they desire and feel. If we can sympathize with others, they will appreciate our side as well and will often come around to our way of thinking.

10. Appeal to the nobler motives. Everyone likes to be glorious in their own eyes. People believe that they do things for noble and morally upright reasons. If we can appeal to others' noble motives we can successfully convince them to follow our ideas.

11. Dramatize your ideas. In this fast-paced world, simply stating a truth isn't enough. The truth must be made vivid, interesting, and dramatic. Television has been doing it for years. Sometimes ideas are not enough and we must dramatize them.

12. Throw down a challenge. The thing that most motivates people is the game. Everyone desires to excel and prove their worth. If we want someone to do something, we must give them a challenge and they will often rise to meet it.

1. Begin with praise and honest appreciation. People will do things begrudgingly for criticism and an iron-fisted leader, but they will work wonders when they are praised and appreciated.

2. Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly. No one likes to make mistakes, especially in front of others. Scolding and blaming only serve to humiliate. If we subtly and indirectly show people mistakes, they will appreciate us and be more likely to improve.

3. Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person. When something goes wrong, taking responsibility can help win others to your side. People do not like to shoulder all the blame and taking credit for mistakes helps to remove the sting from our critiques of others.

4. Ask questions instead of giving direct orders. No one likes to take orders. If we offer suggestions, rather than orders, it will boost others' confidence and allow them to learn quickly from their mistakes.

5. Let the other person save face. Nothing diminishes the dignity of a man quite like an insult to his pride. If we don't condemn our employees in front of others and allow them to save face, they will be motivated to do better in the future and confident that they can.

6. Praise every improvement. People love to receive praise and admiration. If we truly want someone to improve at something, we must praise their every advance. "Abilities wither under criticism, they blossom under encouragement."

7. Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to. If we give people a great reputation to live up to, they will desire to embody the characteristics with which we have described them. People will work with vigor and confidence if they believe they can be better.

8. Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct. If a desired outcome seems like a momentous task, people will give up and lose heart. But if a fault seems easy to correct, they will readily jump at the opportunity to improve. If we frame objectives as small and easy improvements, we will see dramatic increases in desire and success in our employees.

9. Make the other person happy about doing what you suggest. People will most often respond well when they desire to do the behavior put forth. If we want to influence people and become effective leaders, we must learn to frame our desires in terms of others' desires.

In this chapter, the shortest in the book, Carnegie analyzes two letters and describes how to appeal to someone with the term "do me a favor" as opposed to directly asking for something which does not offer the same feeling of importance to the recipient of the request.

1. Don't nag.

2. Don't try to make your partner over.

3. Don't criticize.

4. Give honest appreciation.

5. Pay little attentions.

6. Be courteous.

7. Read a good book on the sexual side of marriage.

Before How to Win Friends and Influence People was released, the genre of self-help books had an ample heritage. Authors such as Orison Swett Marden, and Samuel Smiles had enormous success with their self-help books in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Dale Carnegie began his career not as a writer, but as a teacher of public speaking. He started out teaching night classes at a YMCA in New York and his classes became wildly popular and highly attended. The success of the classes in New York prompted YMCAs in Philadelphia and Baltimore to begin hosting the course as well. After even greater success, Carnegie decided to begin teaching the courses on his own at hotels in London, Paris, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore.

Because he could not find any satisfactory handbook already in publication, Carnegie originally began writing small booklets to go along with his courses. After one of his 14-week courses, he was approached by publisher Leon Shimkin of the publishing house Simon & Schuster. Shimkin urged Carnegie to write a book, but he was not initially persuaded. Shimkin then hired a stenographer to type up what he heard in one of Carnegie's long lectures and presented the transcript to Carnegie. Dale Carnegie liked the transcript so much he decided to edit and revise it into a final form. He wanted it to be extremely practical and interesting to read.

To market the book, Shimkin decided to send 500 copies of the book to former graduates of the Dale Carnegie Course, with a note that pointed out the utility of the book for refreshing students with the advice they had learned. The 500 mailed copies brought orders for over 5,000 more copies of the book and Simon & Schuster had to increase the original print order of 1,200 quickly. Shimkin also ran a full page ad in the New York Times complete with quotes by Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller on the importance of human relations.

Originally published in November 1936, the book reached the New York Times best-seller list by the end of the year, and did not fall off for the next two years. Simon & Schuster continued to advertise the book relying heavily on testimonials as well as the testable approach the book offered.

How to Win Friends and Influence People became one of the most successful books in American history. It went through 17 print editions in its first year of publishing and sold 250,000 copies in the first three months. The book has sold over 30 million copies worldwide since and annually sells in excess of 250,000 copies. A 2013 Library of Congress survey ranked Carnegie's volume as the seventh most influential book in American history.

How to Win Friends and Influence People was number eight on the list of "Top Check Outs OF ALL TIME" by the New York Public Library.

After How to Win Friends and Influence People was published in November 1936 and ascended rapidly on best-seller lists, the New York Times reviewed it in February 1937. They offered a balanced criticism arguing that Carnegie indeed offered insightful advice in dealing with people, but that his wisdom was extremely simple and should not overrule the foundation of actual knowledge.

The satirical writer Sinclair Lewis waited a year to offer his scathing critique. He described Carnegie's method as teaching people to "smile and bob and pretend to be interested in other people's hobbies precisely so that you may screw things out of them." However, despite the criticism, sales continued to soar and the book was talked about and reviewed as it rapidly became mainstream.

Scholarly critique however, was little and oscillated over time. Due to the book's lay appeal, it was not significantly discussed in academic journals. In the early stages of the book's life, the few scholarly reviews that were written explained the contents of the book and attempted to describe what made the book popular. As time passed however, scholarly reviews became more critical, chiding Carnegie for being insincere and manipulative.

Despite the lack of attention in academic circles, How to Win Friends and Influence People was written for a popular audience and Carnegie successfully captured the attention of his target. The book experienced mass consumption and appeared in many popular periodicals, including garnering 10 pages in the January 1937 edition of Reader's Digest.

The book continued to remain at the top of best-seller lists and was even noted in the New York Times to have been extremely successful in Nazi Germany, much to the writer's bewilderment. He wrote that Carnegie would rate "butter higher than guns as a means of winning friends" something "diametrically opposite to the official German view."

Despite the negative comments from his critics, Carnegie's book established a new genre. Carnegie described his book as an "action-book" but the category he created has since become known as the self-help genre. Almost every self-help book since has borrowed some type of style or form from Carnegie's "path-breaking best seller."

Warren Buffett took the Dale Carnegie course "How to Win Friends and Influence People" when he was 20 years old, and to this day has the diploma in his office.

The title of Lenny Bruce's autobiography, How to Talk Dirty and Influence People is a parody of the title of this book.

English rock band Terrorvision titled their second album How to Make Friends and Influence People in reference to the book.

American punk band Screeching Weasel titled their seventh studio album How to Make Enemies and Irritate People as a parody of this book.

In August 2015, the book was featured on Showtime's Masters of Sex, with portions recited in a voiceover as a main character studies the text.

The title of Toby Young's memoir How to Lose Friends & Alienate People is a parody of the title of this book. The memoir was also adapted into a 2008 film of the same name starring Simon Pegg.

An episode from season 7 of is called "How to Win Friends and Electrocute People" as a play on the title of the book.

Season 7 episode 9 of Supernatural is titled "How to Win Friends and Influence Monsters", in reference to the title of the book.

Season 2 episode 3 of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is titled "Making Friends and Influencing People", in reference to this book. It aired October 7, 2014.

The book is referenced in the 2016 film , in which an undercover FBI agent uses principles from the book to infiltrate an extremist group.

In the November 2, 2017 episode of Young Sheldon, "Rockets, Communists, and the Dewey Decimal System", Sheldon Cooper reads the book and attempts to apply its advice to his life.

A 2018 article about Margit Wennmachers, venture capitalist at Andreessen Horowitz, is titled "How to Win Founders and Influence Everybody".

The book is said to have greatly influenced the life of television and film actress Donna Reed. It was given to her by her high school chemistry teacher Edward Tompkins to read as a sophomore at Denison (Iowa) High School in 1936. Upon reading it she won the lead in the school play, was voted Campus Queen and was in the top 10 of the 1938 graduating class.

Charles Manson used what he learned from the book in prison to manipulate women into killing on his behalf.

How to Win Friends and Influence People is a self-help book written by Dale Carnegie, published in 1936. Over 30 million copies have been sold worldwide, making it one of the best-selling books of all time. In 2011, it was number 19 on Time Magazine 's list of the 100 most influential books.

On March 21st, 1967, Charles was out in the world again. Charles was very nervous being back out in the world again. He had some phone numbers of inmate he knew from Terminal Island who were already out on parole. Charles called one in Berkley and decided to go up there. Charles then arrived at the University of California in Berkley. While Charles would wander around campus he would walk around and look for people he could use, but quickly realised people were not intrested in doing things for him. Then saw Mary Brunner on campus, she was prime prey for Charles.  Mary stood out to Charles because she was dressed very conservatively, unlike other women on campus. Though Mary was a conservative girl at heart, Charles managed to get to her. Eventually, Mary became pregnant. Charles would return to Mary's apartment during the night, but would spend the day at Haight-Ashbury.  Charles Manson arrived at the Haight in April 1967. Charles was very intrigued by Haights and could not find a better hunting ground for his manipulation tactics. In May or June, when schools closed for the summer, the number of arrivals mutiplied at a high rate. Page 93 states, "It was "The Summer of Love." Charles Manson  lurked in the Haight and was extremely eager to greet the newcomers.

# data[].attributes.body
In the Haight Charles appeared to be nothing more than another scruffy pilgrim that would negotiate the crowded streets. However, Charles would take in everything. Page 94 states "But Charlie would take in everything around him, looking for angle, trying to calculate how he could turn some aspect of the Love Generation activity to his own advantage." Charles began preaching his way around the Haight. Charles would use Dale Carneige technique of presenting everything dramatically. He grew a big following, when he wanted drugs, his audiences had plenty to share. Charles also agreed to fool around with Charles and he would even take them back to Mary's apartment sometimes. Something was missing though. Charles wasn't getting anything more than dozens of other Haight guru and would compete with them every day.  Some kids would promise their lifelong alliance to Charles, but leave him for somebody else. Charles had to choose who was worthy enough to remain in his group.
When Charles selected his second follower, she was not from the Haight.  Lynette Fromme was eighteen and was approached by Charles in May 1967. She was sobbing on a bench, Charles saw this as a perfect opportunity and took her in. By mid-June school was out for the summer and teenagers flooded the Haight. None of the teenagers were what Charles was looking for. So Charles, Mary and Lynne went on many midsummer road trips. One place they stayed was Seattle and Charles went to visit his mother, Kathleen. Kathleen was not pleased to see Charles and even told Nancy to hide in a closet until he left. Charles was furious and stormed off, he never spoke to Kathleen again. They drove back to the Haights. Charles group began to grow and they would go out scouting for more members, men and women. The Haights became too dangerous for Charles's group so they relocated to Los Angeles. In November 1967, Charles's parole supervision was transferred to Los Angeles.

The group decided to stay in Topanga Canyon. Charles sent out his group to recruit more people. Most days possible followers would be brought to or dropped by wherever in Topanga Charles was staying. Men were valued for mechanical skills and women for Charles sexual desires. The most important male inmate was Paul Watkins. Paul immediatley established himself as the most effective recrutier. For Charles to recruit women, they had to go through sexual tests for Charles. In the early months of 1968 the group grew to twenty or more members, some didn't stay for long, while others were determined to stay with Charles forever.  Phil Kaufman, who was Charles's old friend, got released from Terminal Island in March 1968 and decided to stay with Charles. Kaufman had strong impressions of the women. Lynne, who Charles figured was the most die hard. Susan Atkins, who was like Charles's guard dog, kind of crazy and mean. Pat Krenwinkel, who did lot of the hardest chores. Kaufman was in awe that Charles's followers would just listen to Charles and gave him what he wanted. Kaufman loved the way Cahrles made his followers believe that they came up with ideas that were actually his own. Phil Kaufman's stay only lasted about five weeks, he wasn't useful to Charles and sometimes had the nerve to disagree with him.
On April 15th, Mary Brunner gave birth to a son named Valentine Micheal Masnon. Shortly after Valentine's birth, Charles took the group on another road trip. The group stayed at a place northwest of L.A. at the foot of Santa Susana Mountains. They stayed there for a bit, but Charles led them back to Topanga. The group met Dennis Wilson and stayed at his Sunset Boulevard lodge. One night Wilson packed some esstiental belongings and left without telling Charles he was leaving nor where he was going. Wilson's former landlord tosses Charles and the family out of the lodge it was just a minor inconvenience. The group gathered their remaining Dennis Wilson spoils and piled everybody into the old school they have been using to travel and set out to Spahn Ranch.

Family member, Tex Watson went AWOL for some time and lived with Luella and she was dealing. Page 226 states "...on July 1 Tex called her to say he had twenty-five kilos of prime weed." Luella agreed and told Tex she had a buyer who would put $2500 in advance. Tex didn't tell her, but there were no twenty-five kilos and he was going to take the money and "burn" Luella and her buyer. Luella's buyer was named Bernard Crowe, his street name was Lotsapoppa. Tex got the money, but Lotsapoppa and his boys told Tex they would keep Luella until they got their weed. They explained to Tex in detail what they would do to Luella if they didn't get their weed. Tex told Charles, but Charles wasn't worried about that. Lotsapoppa claimed he was a member of the Black Panthers and he would gather an army to go Spahn Ranch and kill the Family, if he didn't get his weed or his money. That was what feared Charles the most. Charles didn't know that Lotsapoppa was only bluffing to scare Charles. Charles needed the money so he couldn't give it back. Charles told Lotsapoppa that he would meet him at Lotsapoppa's house in Northern Hollywood. With family member T.J. Walleman they went into the house. Charles instructed Walleman to go inside right behind him and fire the gun with Charles gave him the signal. When they got inside Lotsapoppa had two men with him and Walleman panicked and Charles had to fire the gun himself. Charles managed to shoot Lotsapoppa in the chest. When the two other men toppled over, Charles waved his gun at them and then raced Wallemen back to Spahn.

Charles Manson's family only grew  bigger overtime. Charles wanted to make sure each family member was loyal. Charles wanted Bobby Beausoleil to murder Dennis Wilson. Charles couldn't pin down Wilson, so his next target was Gary Hinman. Beausoleil had a perfect plan to shake down Hinman. Bobby had just payed Hinman $1000 for mescaline. Beausoleil got his money from the Straight Satans who planned on having a party with the drugs. The Satans sampled the drugs and claimed the batch was tainted. Page 230 states, "They were furious and demanded that Beausoleil give them back their money, and he prepared to confront Hinman." Beausoleil didn't plan on joining the family, but he didn't mind helping Charles finance the plan by squeezing Hinman down for money. Hinman denied having any money, but Charles knew that was a lie. Near 12 AM Charles went to Hinman's home and slashed a sword along the left side of Hinman's head, splitting his ear almost in half. For the rest of the night, all of Saturday and well into Sunday,  Beausoleil beat him whille Susan and Mary pleaded with him to hand over his money. Himan still insisted not having any money and claimed he was going to call the police. Beausoleil told Charles and Charles knew that couldn't happen. Charles instructed Beausoleil to kill Hinman and to make it apparent that the Panthers slaughtered Hinman. Beausoleil stabbed Hinman several times and with his blood pressed a crude paw print onto the wall. The paw print was the symbol of the Panthers. Beausoleil, Susan, and Mary went through the house trying to wipe away fingerprints, but they missed a few.

Gary Hinman, born on December 24, 1934 in Colorado was associated with the Manson Family. Hinman had been a hippie renaissance figure in the 1960s, had been working on a PhD in Sociology at U.C.L.A., was a political activist, Zen Buddhist devotee, musician, piano teacher, and apparently a drug dealer with a mescaline factory in his basement at 964 Old Topanga Canyon Road.

On July 31st, Gary Hinman was found dead in his home. He had been stabbed twice in the heart and badly slashed across the left side of his face. His house had been ransacked and both of his cars were missing. Scrawled on the wall in Hinman's blood was "Political Piggy." The police, with no leads in the case, were resigned to tagging the crime as just another unsolved hippie weirdo murder in Los Angeles.

There is multiple opinions on what the actual motive was in his killing, but the conflict lasted three days during which, Charles Manson and Bruce Davis stopped by and then left ordering the killing of Hinman. Either way, Susan Atkins, Mary Brunner and Bobby Beausoleil were the last to see Hinman alive.

According to Charles Manson, Hinman was killed over money and property that Manson claimed Hinman owed the Family. It also served as the first of a series of murders committed by "The Family" to start " Helter Skelter ", a "war" that Manson had preached to his Family that would happen in the summer of 1969.

On August 5th, the California Highway Patrol found Bobby napping in the rear of Hinman's Fiat station wagon near San Luis Obispo. Beausoleil told the police that the car had broken down while he was driving to San Francisco. Beausoleil didn't have a driver's license-only some false ID and a knife attached to his belt. It was not long before Beausoleil was booked for the murder of Gary Hinman.

Within three days of Beausoleil's arrest, all the occupants of the Sharon Tate and Labianca homes were brutally slaughtered. Though blood writing on the walls was a common factor at all three murder sites ("Pig" on the Tate wall and "Death to the Pigs" on the La Bianca refrigerator), investigators failed to make the link.

According to Beausoleil, this came as something of a shock to the Manson group who had hoped that the authorities would assume the same killer responsible for all three homicidal sprees, and then release Beausoleil. Having been in jail during the Tate-La Bianca killings, he was therefore not the Hinman killer. This was the "lunatic logic" of the Manson family.

For more than ten years, Beausoleil had proclaimed his innocence in the murder of Gary Hinman. However, in the summer of 1980 he granted journalist Ann Louise Bardach an interview at Tracy Prison. For the first time, Beausoleil admitted his guilt in the murder and related what he claims were the actual events, motives and relationships within the Manson family and a motorcycle gang named the The Straight Satans.

Gary Hinman, born on December 24, 1934 in Colorado was associated with the Manson Family. Hinman had been a hippie renaissance figure in the 1960s, had been working on a PhD in Sociology at U.C.L.A., was a political activist, Zen Buddhist devotee, musician, piano teacher, and apparently a drug dealer with a mescaline factory in his basement at 964 Old Topanga Canyon Road.

Bobby Beausoleil knew he had to get away, so he went on the run. Beausoleil used Hinman's Fiat as his getaway vehicle, which was very poor planning. Hinman didn't pay attnetion to the Fiat's maintnece, so  Beausoleil didn't get very far before the car broke down. Two patrolmen pulled up and ran records on the car. The men were notified the car was linked to the murdeer in Topanga Canyon and Beausoleil was arrested. The bloody knife that was used to stab Hinman was also discovered in the tire well. Country detectives Paul Whiteley and Charles Guenther came to question Beausoleil. Page 235 states, "Beausoleil first tried telling them that he'd just bought the car from a black guy; he hoped that the alibi might work if the country cops had bought into Hinman being murdered by the Black Panthers." The detectives didn't believe him and they also mathced Beausoleil's fingerprints to a bloody fingerprint that he had missed cleaning up at Hinman's house. Beausoleil then changed his story. He claimed that he and two female friends, who he wouldn't name arrived at Hinman's house, found him badly hurt, and tried to treat his wounds. Beausoleil gussed he might've died after that. Again, Whiteley and Guenther didn't believe him. Beausoleil was transfeered to the L.A. County Jail and booked for homicide.

# data[].attributes.body
Beausoleil tried to call Charles, but Charles wasn't at the ranch so Linda Kasabian took the call. Beausoleil assured Linda that Charles shouldn't be worried and he would keep quiet. Linda and some of the other women discussed possible responses. Though Beausoleil never offically became part of the family, he was still one of them. When Charles found out about Beausoleil's arrest, he knew he had faced a serious problem. The family was very desperate to see Beausoleil freed, but nobody wanted to see that more than Charles. Charles first instict was to run and go into hiding, but Charles thought about the Family. He had spent more than two years building together the Family and had a soild core group. He spoke to his followers about him leaving. Page 238 and 239 state, "He heard the resonse that he wanted - he couldn't go, they loved him, they were together as one and ready to do whatever was necessary." Everybody gathered and discussed what they can do for Beausoleil. The idea of copycat murders was mentioned. Charles didn't immediately say, but that gave Charles the basis of a plan.

# data[].attributes.body
Charles his next victim had to be somebody who was well known so the murder would get publicity and it would be traced back to Hinmans murder. Charles had to point his followers to the right victim, but do it in a way that left them apparently responsible. Within the Family women served men, so the murder had to have a man in charge. Charles only canidate was Tex Watson. The next question was, who? The murder had to get maximum publicty so the police would think that Hinman's killers were still out commiting murders, while Beausoleil was still in custody. Tex needed the right esstientials to go into this. On page 243 it states "Then they talked about what to bring: rope to tie people with and of course knives, dark clothes to wear on the way and clean ones to put on afterward. Charlie gave Tex the .22 Buntline, cautioning that it would be best just to use knives if possible and save shooting as the last resort." Charles also had to pick women to go with Tex.  Susan, who was with Beausoleil at Hinman's house and knew what was written on the walls. Pat, who lacked social skills and that led people to believe she was cold and unfeeling. She also believed she had no other option than to obey Charles. Linda, who had a valid drivers license. The women all had the same tasks, to wear dark clothes, get a change of clothes and their knives, then listen to everything Tex tells them. After getting everything ready, they were off.

# data[].attributes.body
Charles gave one more instruction to Susan. Page 245 states "As the car was about to pull away Charlie called out to Susan, "Do something witchy," a reference to the words "POLITICAL PIGGY" written in blood at Gary Hinman's."  The three women didn't know yet that they were going to kill anybody nor did thye know where they were going. Being instructed to takes knives wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Tex didn't talk as he drove,  he didn't tell them anything they didn't ask him any quesitons. They ended up in Beverly Hills and had to take Sunset Boulevard toward Benedict Canyon. Tex drove up Cielo drive passing houses and stopped at the top in front of a gated house. Tex hot wired in way in whispered instructions to the women. They planned to kill everybody inside. Tex heard a car approaching and pull the .22 out of his pants. Steve Parent came out of the car and froze. Tex slashed at Parent wih a knife and cut him across his left arm. Despite Charles's instructions, Tex shot him four times at point-blank range. Parent fell dead across the front seat of his car. Inside the house was Abigail Folger, Voytek Frykowski, Sharon Tatem and Jay Serbring. In the guest house was William Garretson, who didn't hear the first gun shot due to him listening to music. Frykowski was seen first, Tex knocked him out so he was dazed on the couch. Susan went to the first guest room and brandished her knife and Folger and ordered her to go to the living room. Pat held her at gunpoint while Susan went to the main bedroom for Tate and Sebring. She also instructed them to go to the living room. Susan tied Frykowski's hands with a towel. Tex used the rope to tie Sebring's hands and looped more rope around Serbring's neck. After, Tex flipped the other end to the beam on the ceiling. Tex then tied the rope around Tate's neck. Sebring tried speaking, but Tex shot him in the abdomen, he collapsed to the floor. Sebring groaned while lahying on the floor, so Tex kneeled down and began stabbing Sebring again and again till he was dead. Tex instructed Susan to kill Frykowski, but he started to fight back. Susan started to blind stab him in the legs and screamed as he struggled. Susan lost her knife in the process. Tex shot Frykowski with his Buntline, but he still managed to go stumble onto the lawn. Tex leaped onto him and stabbed Frykowski until he was still. Folger then broke away and Pat chased after her. Pat stabbed Folger several times, unsure if she had killed her. Tex made sure Folger was dead. Tex told Pat to see if anybody was in the back house, Pat was too scared and only walked down the back alley. She told Tex nobody was there, not knowing that meant William Garretson lived. They went back inside and Tate begged not for her life, but for her unborn childs. Susan held Tate while Tex stabbed her. Using Tate's blood, Susan wrote the word, "PIG" on the outside of the front door. After that, they made their journey back to Spahn.

# data[].attributes.body
On the way back they stopped in front of a house thay had a water tap to clean themselves. While doing so, the owner of the house, Rudolf Weber heard the noise and decided to come out. Tex and the women went back into the car, not knowing Weber caught their license plate. They made it back and described what happened to Charles, he was not happy with the result. The police were called to the scene of the homicides and begane investigating. The public learned about the death of Voytek Frykowski, Abigail Folger, and Jay Sebring, but they didn't get much attention. The attention focused on the bloody demise of the movie star. Sharon Tate obtained star status instantly. The murders at Cielo quickly became known as "Tates Murders." The Family watched the news, Tex and the women boasted about their job well done. Only Charles realized that there was no mention of the Black Panthers or Hinman's murder. Charles did not get the respond he needed and decided he needed to come up with another plan. He realized maybe the copycat plan had to start with Tate, not Hinman. After everybody else went to bed, Charles called together Tex, Susan, Pat, Linda, and two additons - Clem and Lesie. The night before they handled the murder badly, this time they had to do it right. Charles instructed them to go out again that night and do it once more, this time with no mistakes.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Sharon Tate was only 26 years old when she, along with her unborn child, three of her friends, and a stranger with bad timing were murdered. Tate, a Golden Globe-nominated actress most known for her role in Valley of The Dolls, was also the wife of French-Polish film director Roman Polanski. On August 9, 1969, Tate, who was eight-and-a half months pregnant, noted hairstylist Jay Sebring, aspiring screenwriter Wojciech Frykowski, and Frykowski's girlfriend Abigail Folger, book editor and heiress to the Folger coffee fortune, had their lives taken from them at 10050 Cielo Drive in Los Angeles's Benedict Canyon.

The murders, soon to be referenced in Quentino's upcoming Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, were carried out by members of Charles Manson's "family" in what's been described as a vengeful act. Manson, who had aspirations of becoming a musician, had previously attempted to get a record deal from producer Terry Melcher (son of Doris Day), who had once rented the house along with musician Mark Lindsay and Melcher's then-girlfriend, actress Candice Bergen. Reports claim Melcher's snub of Manson left him agitated and disgruntled, leading him to take his revenge on Hollywood.

Manson allegedly instructed Tex Watson to take Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian, and Patricia Krenwinkel to "that house where Melcher used to live," and to "totally destroy everyone in [it], as gruesome as you can," according to Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders, an account written by the Manson trial's prosecuting attorney Vincent Bugliosi.

What happened next, many say, changed the tide of Hollywood. Joan Didion wrote of the event in her 1978 essay " The White Album, "Many people I know in Los Angeles believe that the Sixties ended abruptly on August 9, 1969, ended at the exact moment when word of the murders on Cielo Drive traveled like brushfire through the community, and in a sense this is true. The tension broke that day. The paranoia was fulfilled."

According to Helter Skelter, shortly after midnight on August 9 Watson was first to enter the home. He encountered a sleeping Frykowski, and proceeded to kick him in the head. When Frykowski asked who he was and what he was doing there, Watson allegedly replied, "I'm the devil, and I'm here to do the devil's business." Atkins, on Watson's direction, reportedly found the house's other occupants and Watson tied Tate and Sebring together by their necks with rope that he then slung from the ceiling beams. According to Bugliosi, when Sebring protested the rough treatment of pregnant Tate, Watson shot him. Helter Skelter says that Frykowski and Folger both fought against their captors to no avail-they were repeatedly stabbed 51 and 28 times, respectively.

Reportedly, back in the house, Tate was pleading for her life and the life of her child. She told the Manson clan of her wish to be allowed to live long enough to have her baby, and offered herself up as a hostage in exchange. It's not known whether either Atkins, Watson, or both killed Tate, who was stabbed 16 times - but Linda Kasabian, the Manson family member who was a witness in the murder trial, later said in the dramatized documentary Manson that Tate cried out for her mother during the attack.

"I saw a woman in a white dress and she had blood all over her and she was screaming and she was calling for her mom. I saw Katie stabbing her," said Kasabian in the film.

Before leaving for Cielo Drive, Manson allegedly instructed the women to "leave a sign ... something witchy" as a signature after the murders, according to Helter Skelter. The book goes on to explain that Atkins used Tate's blood to write "pig" on the front door.

The bodies were found the next morning by Tate's housekeeper, Winifred Chapman, and in the driveway police later saw Steven Parent, who had been visiting the property's caretaker, William Garretson, shot dead in his car. On the front lawn lay the bodies of Frykowski and Folger, and inside the house, the bodies of Tate and Sebring were found in the living room still connected by the long rope tied around each of their necks, four feet apart from each other.

Months passed before Charles Manson and his followers were identified as the prime suspects, and on April 19, 1971, the four were sentenced to death.

Charles, Tex, Clem, Linda, Susan, Pat, and Leslie all went out to fulfill Charles's wishes. Charles told Linda to park in along a curb in a residential area called Los Feliz. He told Tex to follow him inside of the house. Inside the house, Leno LeBianca was sleeping on the couch, Charles woke him up by poking him with the barrel of a gun. Leno woke up and was confused. While holding him at gunpoint, Charles instructed him to lay onto his stomach. Charles told Tex to  tie Leno's hand with a leather thong he had gathered the night before. Tex stayed and watched Leno, while Charles went to get Rosemary. Rosemary was terrifed by cooperated. She was instructed to sit next her husband. Charles went to get Rosemary's wallet for money and then went back to the car. He told Pat and Leslie to go inside. Once they were all inside, Charles told them to move Rosemary back to the bedroom. He was very firm with Tex and demanded that everybody does something and left. Tex pulled a pillowcase from the bedroom over Leno's head and knotted a lamp cord around his head and mouth to gag him. He also did the same to Rosemary in the bedroom. Pat then grabbed a knife from the kitchen and went back to the bedroom with Rosemary, Tex was in the living room with Leno. Leno knew what was coming next. Tex rammed a bayonet into Leno's throat and kept stabbing him until Leno declared himself dead. In the bedroom, Pat stabbed Rosemary multiple times. Tex then came in to finish Rosemary off. Pat went into the living room and informed Tex that Leno was still alive. Either Pat or Tex carved "WAR" into Leno's abdomen. Leslie still didn't participate enough so she was instructed to desecrate Rosemary's corpse. Leslie then grabbed a towel and wiped fingerprints from places they might've touch. They wrote "Rise" and "Death to Pigs" in blood, on the walls. Pat added "Healter Skelter" to the fridge door. Then they left the murder scene.

Leno and Rosemary Labianca... (Victims)

Leno LaBianca and his wife Rosemary LaBianca were victims of the Charles Manson murders. Leno was a grocery store owner, and Rosemary was also a successful business woman. They lived in the Los Angeles suburb of Los Feliz.

On August 9, 1969, they had vacationed for the day at Lake Isabella, and returned home the night following the Sharon Tate murders. They were last seen alive when they stopped on their way home to buy fuel. Rosemary also bought a newspaper, its front page detailing the murders on Cielo Drive at Roman Polanski's Beverly Hills residence. The attendant testified later that Rosemary particularly had been very concerned and anxious as she read about the murders and briefly discussed this with the attendant.

The following night, on August 10, 1969, Rosemary's 15 year old son Frank Struthers became concerned when neither his mother or step father answered the door. After contacting his older sister Suzanne Struthers and her boyfriend, the three, upon arriving at the home, became further worried by the fact that Leno's boat was parked on the street instead of the driveway. They felt this to be out of Leno's character, and entered the house. Inside the kitchen they saw the words " Healter Skelter " [misspelling] written in what appeared to be blood on the front of the refrigerator. In the living room they found Leno, bound and gagged, and stabbed to death. Rosemary was found, also stabbed to death, in the master bedroom.

Charles Manson, Charles 'Tex' Watson, Patricia Krenwinkel and Leslie Van Houten were charged with these murders after a lengthy investigation. Susan Atkins, charged with the Tate murders, provided testimony before a Grand Jury. Her testimony, borne out by police investigations and corroborated by other " Family " members, stated that Manson had been critical of the way in the which the Cielo Drive murders had been carried out. The people were allowed to know they were to be murdered and this resulted in panic. He took personal charge of setting up the murders the following night, to ensure the victims would be easily restrained and compliant, and that there would be no panic.

Driving to Los Angeles, he stopped at several houses before considering each in turn to be unsuitable. Remembering a house in Los Feliz, where he had attended parties, he recalled that a neighboring house was somewhat isolated from the rest of the neighborhood. He directed Watson to drive there, and entered the house himself. He assured the two occupants that they were to be robbed but not harmed, and tied them up. He then came back to the remaining " Family " members waiting outside.

In his autobiography, Charles "Tex" Watson stated that having gone up alone, Manson returned to take him up to the house with him. After Manson pointed out a sleeping man through a window, the two of them entered through the unlocked back door. As Watson related it, Manson roused the sleeping Leno LaBianca from the couch at gunpoint and had Watson bind his hands with a leather thong. After Rosemary was brought briefly into the living room from the bedroom, Watson followed Manson's instructions to cover the couple's heads with pillowcases. He bound these in place with lamp cords. Manson left, sending Krenwinkel and Leslie Van Houten into the house with instructions that the couple be killed.

Before leaving Spahn Ranch, Watson had complained to Manson of the inadequacy of the previous night's weapons. Now, sending the women from the kitchen to the bedroom, to which Rosemary LaBianca had been returned, he went to the living room and began stabbing Leno LaBianca with a chrome-plated bayonet. The first thrust went into the Leno's throat.

Sounds of a scuffle in the bedroom drew Watson there to discover Mrs. LaBianca keeping the women at bay by swinging the lamp tied to her neck. After subduing her with several stabs of the bayonet, he returned to the living room and resumed attacking Leno, whom he stabbed a total of twelve times with the bayonet. When he had finished, Watson carved "WAR" on the man's exposed abdomen.

Returning to the bedroom, Watson found Krenwinkel stabbing Rosemary LaBianca with a knife from the LaBianca kitchen. Heeding Manson's instruction to make sure each of the women played a part, Watson told Van Houten to stab Mrs. LaBianca too. She did, stabbing her approximately sixteen times in the back and the exposed buttocks. At trial, Van Houten would claim, uncertainly, that Rosemary LaBianca was dead when she stabbed her. Evidence showed that many of Mrs. LaBianca's 41 stab wounds had, in fact, been inflicted post-mortem.

While Watson cleaned off the bayonet and showered, Krenwinkel wrote " Rise" and " Death to pigs" on the walls and " Healter Skelter " on the refrigerator door, all in LaBianca blood. She gave Leno LaBianca fourteen puncture wounds with an ivory-handled, two-tined carving fork, which she left jutting out of his stomach. She also planted a steak knife in his throat.

Manson, Watson, Krenwinkel and Van Houten were found guilty of these murders. Van Houten was not charged in connection to the Tate murders, but the remaining defendants, along with Susan Atkins (who had not entered the LaBianca residence) were found guilty of the Tate murders. Each received a death sentence, but this was commuted to life in prison for each person, when the State of California temporarily abolished the death penalty.

For months, ranch hand, Shorty Shea had been urging George Spahn to evict the Family from Spahn. A Family member, squeaky heard Shorty say he would throw the family out himself if he had to and reported it back to Charles. Charles felt Shea had no right to cause problems for him. Charles led nine murderous acts in the last seven weeks and was not afraid to make it ten. One night, Shea got into a car with Charles, Clem, and Bruce Davis.

She thought it would stop, but it just kept going an going. Shorty Shea was never seen again. Page 282 states, "Bruce David allegedly told some Family members that he, Clem, and Charlie armed themselves with bayonets purchased from army surplus, and when they had Shea far enough out on the ranch so that there would be no witnesses, they "carv[ed him] up like a Christmas Turkey." Shea didn't die fast, it took a while. Most of the family believe. Charles dismembered his corpse and buried pieces around the ranch. The next morning other hands at the ranch asked Charles if he'd see Shorty Shea. Charles said he though Shea went to San Fransico because "he told him about a job there."
