"What did she say about this other man?""She said that the other man ran past her, and as he ran past her she stabbed him four or five times. He got to the door and he started screaming for help. He got out onto the front lawn and he was screaming, 'Help, help, somebody please help!' And with this she put her hand on her hip and she said to me, 'And would you believe that he was screaming "Help, help," and nobody came?' "
"This is what Susan Atkins told you?"
"That's right."
"What else did Sadie say she did?" "She said she was holding Sharon Tate's arms behind her, and that Sharon Tate looked at her and she said she was crying and said to her, 'Please, please don't kill me, I don't want to die. 1just want to have my baby.' She said, 'And I looked Sharon straight in the eye and I said to her, "Look, bitch, you might as well face it right now, you're going to die, and I don't feel a thing behind it," and in a few minutes she was dead.' "
"Did Susan Atkins say whether she in fact killed Sharon Tate?"
"Yes, she did."
"What did she say?"
"She said, 'I killed her.' "
"Did Miss Atkins say anything about blood at that point?"
"Yes, she did."
"What did she say?"
"She said that she had blood in her hand and she looked at her hand and she took her hand and she put it up to her mouth and she said, 'To taste death and yet give life, wow, what a trick.' "
"Did Miss Atkins ask you if you had ever had that type of experience with blood?"
"Yes, she did. She asked me in was interested in blood, and I said that I had seen it, and she said that it was really beautiful; that it was warm and sticky."
"Did she say anything about the eyes of the people there at the Tate residence?"
"Yes, she did. She told me that she wanted to take their eyes out and squash them against the wall, and cut their fingers off, but that she didn't have time."
"Did Miss Atkins tell you anything about who was the last to die at the Tate residence?"
"Yes, she did."
"What did she say?"
"She told me Sharon was the last to die."
"Did she say anything about a knife of hers?"
"Yes, she did. She told me that she lost her knife up there; that she looked for it for a few minutes but could not find it, and then she said she thought the dog had taken it outside and buried it."
"As Miss Atkins was discussing these murders with you, did she say anything about how it felt to stab a human being with a knife?"
"Yes, she did."
"What did she say?"
"She said that when the knife went in, it felt soft and that it was quite a thrill."
That must be the testimony from Susan’s cellmate, Ronnie the prostitute. At this moment, I can’t recall her entire name.
