CHINO, Calif., Dec. 16 — The man who married Manson family killer Susan Atkins and said he would “spend millions” to get her out of jail now claims the woman stabbed him in a jealous rage during a prison visit.

In a letter released on the eve of Miss Atkins’ fifth attempt to gain parole, self-proclaimed Texas billionaire Donald “Flash” Laisure said he made the stabbing known Wednesday “for the good of the public and parole board.”

Miss Atkins’ attorney, Robert Moss, said the “inevitable outcome” of today’s parole hearing would be a denial of freedom for Miss Atkins, one of three women convicted in the grisly cult killings of nine people in 1969.

Moss denounced the Laisure letter as “outrageous, it’s not worth the paper it’s written on. It’s devoid of reality or common decency and it would reduce the hearing to a farce and sham if the board considers (it).”

Miss Atkins was making her fifth attempt at release from the California Institution for Women where she is serving a life sentence for the murders of actress Sharon Tate and six others.

Laisure, who said he received a Cuban divorce after eight months of marriage to Miss Atkins, wrote to a Los Angeles television station claiming she stabbed him in the stomach in a jealous rage because he was paying attention to Leslie Van Houten, another of the women convicted of the killings.

Television station KNBC sent a copy of the letter to Deputy District Attorney Stephen Kay, who released it to the news media.

In the letter, Laisure said Miss Atkins had made him swear on a Bible not to reveal the attack but decided to anyway, “since she has seen fit to threaten me with death.”

Laisure said Cuban Premiere Fidel Castro had personally signed a divorce decree in February. Laisure said when he married Miss Atkins he would “spend millions” to win her freedom.

Miss Atkins is one of three women convicted with Charles Manson for the Aug. 9, 1969 killings of Miss Tate and four other people at the pregnant actress’ house in the Hollywood Hills, and the slayings the following night of wealthy grocer Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary.

They were originally sentenced to die but the sentences were commuted to life in prison in 1972 when the state Supreme Court banned capital punishment. Manson, Miss Atkins, Miss Van Houten and Lynette Fromme have all previously been denied parole.

It was Miss Atkins who broke the sensational case by telling fellow jail inmates about the murders while serving time on an unrelated charge.

The killings were part of Manson’s bizarre “helter skelter” scheme in which he believed blacks would be blamed and a race war would result. After hiding in the desert until the blacks won the race war, the Manson family would emerge and take over the country.
