A Deputy District Attorney said he would ask the county grand jury to charge Charles Manson, leader of the cult, and other unnamed persons with the slavings.

The group, known as "the Manson family," may be connected with a total of 11 senseless slayings since the beginning of the year, authorities have indicated.
Susan Atkins, 19, the prosecution's star witness, was expected to testify voluntarily about a "band in black" that descended on the Tate home—and on the house of a wealthy couple a day later—in an orgy of murder that left seven persons dead.
Wesley Russell, the defense attorney for a woman he said was the informant that broke the Tate case, said she had told him

"A man used a pair of bolt cutters to cut utility lines, then crept around to the side of the house, opened a window, and then opened the front door." Caruso said of the Tate slayings.
Many more were marked for death by the group according to Russell. He said his client, Shelley Joyce Nadell, 31, was a cellmate and confidant of Miss Atkins.
ings, has said the Tate home was "a symbol of rejection" to Manson, who had a grudge against affluent people because of his troubled childhood.
Miss Atkins, who Caruso says was only a witness to the slay-
