FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.
(UPI) — An amusement park

just before the shrieking winds
of a tornado began hurling

25 Deupties Search
For Missing Cowboy
By JACK V. FOX
LOS ANGELES (UPI) -
Twenty-five sheriff’s deputies
today combed the former ranch
home of a hippie cult implicat
ed in the seven Tate-Laßianca
slayings for the body of a
cowboy who disappeared while
the nomadic group lived there.
While deputies began their
search Wednesday by digging
up several abandoned wells,
three young women, members
of the pseudo-religious cult,
appeared in court and delayed
entering pleas to murder
charges. They were held
without bond.
The leader of the group,
Charles M. Manson, 35, was to
be arraigned today on seven
counts of murder.

reply “yes” when each was
asked by the judge if she
understood her constitutional
rights.
The three women and three
other members of the cult,
including Manson, were indicted
by the county grand jury and it
was believed testimony before
the jury triggered the deputies’
search at the ranch.
Investigators reportedly
searched for the body of Donald
“Short” Shea, 40, who was said
to have been slain and thrown
down a well at the old Spahn
movie ranch near Chatsworth.
The cult lived at the ranch at
the time of the Tate and
Laßianca slayings in August. It
was in July Shea disappeared.
The “Manson Family” later
moved to the edge of Death
Valley.
The Sheriff’s Department
would confirm only that it had
a unit at the ranch, but it was
understood a witness at the
grand jury proceedings testified
about the man’s death. Accord
ing to that testimony, Shea
allegedly was stabbed while
talking to Manson.
Two deputies suffered minor
injuries when one of the several
wells on the property partially
caved in.
The three young women,
Susan Denise Atkins, 21, Linda
Louise Kasabian, 20, and Leslie
Van Houten, 19, were ordered
to appear in court separately
later this month. Miss Atkins,
