LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4 – Special Prosecutor Theodore P. Shield Tuesday confirmed that he will call convicted murderer Lawrence E. Wilson, 31, to testify against attorney Daye Shinn, who is on trial on perjury charges.

Shield also said Tuesday that Vincent T. Bugliosi, former prosecutor and a former candidate for state attorney general, will not return to Los Angeles for the trial and would take the Fifth Amendment if he did.

The special prosecutor told Superior Judge Earl C. Broady that Bugliosi’s lawyer, Harland Braun, will appear in court today to state that Bugliosi who won Wilson’s conviction, said the former La Puente machinist once was a reserve deputy sheriff in Los Angeles.

Shield opened the Shinn trial Tuesday by questioning Dep. Dist. Atty. Stephen Kay, who assisted Bugliosi with the Manson prosecution, and Paul Fitzgerald, defense attorney for Manson follower Patricia Krenwinkel. Ready to testify were Dept. Dist. Atty. Donald Musich, another Bugliosi aide, and Irving Kanarek, Manson’s lawyer.

Kay and Fitzgerald both denied giving Farr transcripts of Manson trial witness Virginia Graham’s statement.

Cross-examined by Kirste, Kay admitted he did not remember how many copies of the statement he had made but said the original was given to Superior Judge Charles H. Older and one copy each was distributed to Bugliosi, the deceased attorney Ronald Hughes, Fitzgerald, Kanarek and Shinn. He said another copy was shared by him and Musick.

Seeking to place the whereabouts of all available copies before Farr’s article based on Miss Graham’s comments appeared in the Oct. 9, 1970, Herald-Examiner, Shield is working to rule out copies that could not have been handed to the reporter.
