“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.’ ”

“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?”

“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.”
