LOS ANGELES, Apr. 7 – “Family” leader Charles Manson entered the house with a homemade sword, the witness told the jury, and slashed open the musician’s face from the tip of the ear to the corner of his mouth.

“If you don’t cooperate, you’re gonna get killed,” Manson was quoted as saying.

Danny DeCarlo, head of the “Straight Salons” motorcycle gang, testified at the trial of Robert Beausoleil, 21, charged with the July, 1969, murder of Gary Hinman, 34, bagpipe musician..

DeCarlo said Beausoleil told him Mattson told him by telephone, “You know what to do — kill hint,” because Hin-man wasn’t “cooperating” in giving $20,000 to the Manson family.

Manson has not been charged in the Hinman death but the prosecution contends that it was the prelude to the slayings three weeks later of five persons at the Sharon Tate home and two more the next night.

DeCarlo said he talked with Beausoleil at the Spahn Ranch, an abandoned westerm movie set where the 35-year-old Manson lived with his “family,” and that “Bobby” Beausoleil told him Hinman died.

Manson and some members of his cult lived for a short time at Hinman’s home on Old Topanga Rd.

DeCarlo quoted Beausoleil as saying he went to Hinman’s house with Susan Atkins and Mary Brunner to “hustle some money.”

Meanwhile, Deputy District Attorney Burton Katz said Miss Brunner, who allegedly was at Hinman’s home when he was killed, has disappeared.

Katz said he had subpoenaed several members of the so-called “family” of Manson for possible testimony as to the whereabouts of Miss Brunner.

Beausoleil was quoted as saying that Susan Atkins held a gun on Hinman while he searched the house and that the musician tried to grab it from the girl. DeCarlo said Beausoleil told him he got the gun and hit Hinman over the head with it, then telephoned Manson at the Spahn ranch.

Manson arrived with a man Identified as Bruce Davis. DeCarlo said Manson was armed with a sword and struck so hard with it that Hinman’s face was opened up to the layer of the deep muscles.

DeCarlo recalled the conversation between Manson and Hinman as:

“Gary went up to them … and said ‘get your — and get out of here.’ Charlie … hit him with a sword and said ‘you turn over what you got or you’re gonna get killed.”

DeCarlo said Manson and Davis “split” and went back to the Spahn Ranch. DeCarlo lived at the ranch for about seven months.

U.S. District Court Judge Jesse Curtis has reset Davis’ bond at $10,000 due to his possible implication in the Hinman case. Davis is accused of buying a Polish-made Radom .9-millimeter pistol with a false identification.

This was believed to be the same pistol as that used by Beausoleil at the Hinman home. Prior to today’s federal action, Davis had been free on a signature bond.

He is represented by attorney Dave Shinn, who also is the lawyer for Miss Atkins. Shinn appeared in the courtroom of Superior Court Judge William B. Keene, where the Beausoleil case is being heard before a seven-woman, five-man jury, after he left Federal court.

DeCarlo said Beausoleil told him he stayed at Hinman’s house another six or seven hours.

“He punched him around a little bit more … then he called the ranch back up again,” DeCarlo said.
