LOS ANGELES, Jun. 2 – Hippie-tribe leader Charles M. Manson got a new lawyer Monday but again lost an effort to have a voice as a co-counsel in the Tate-LaBianca murder case.

Los Angeles Superior Judge Charles H. Older approved the substitution of Irving A. Kanarek for Ronald Hughes as Manson’s attorney after receiving Kanarek’s assurance that he would be ready for trial June 15.

Kanarek’s first act in Manson’s behalf was to immediately offer a motion for psychiatric examination of Linda Kasabian, 20, one of four others indicted with Manson in the Tate-LaBianca slayings.

Mrs. Kasabian reportedly went along with Manson and members of his “family” last Aug. 9 and 10 when actress Sharon Tate and six others were killed.

In calling for a medical examination of Mrs. Kasabian, who is expected to testify for the prosecution, Kanarek presented a statement by Catherine Louise Share, known as “Gypsy” and a member of the Manson cult.

Miss Share stated that she had seen Linda Kasabian take LSD on at least five occasions and that Miss Kasabian had told her she had taken LSD more than 300 times.

On many occasions, according to the young woman’s declaration, she has heard Miss Kasabian refer to herself as “Yana, the Witch” and to have claimed supernatural powers.

Kanarek’s motion charged that Miss Kasabian appears to be suffering from a mental condition affecting her credibility.

A hearing on the action, along with other pretrial motions, is scheduled for June 10.

Before approving Kanarek as Manson’s new attorney, Judge Older asked Manson if that was his desire.

“It is my desire to be my own lawyer,” said Manson, standing before the court, his feet spread, hands on hips.

When the jurist asked Manson if he approved of Kanarek, he said, “If I’m forced into a choice, I will take Mr. Kanarek.”

To show his apparent displeasure with Judge Older, Manson swiveled his chair and sat with his back to the bench.

Kanarek attempted to win court permission of Manson as co-counsel. The motion was denied after a conference with attorneys in chambers.

Outside the courtroom, Dep. Dist. Atty. Vincent T. Bugliosi outspokenly voiced his sentiments about Kanarek’s appointment.

“In all candor,” the Prosecutor said, “with Mr. Kanarek in this case there is a possibility the Tate-LaBianca trial could last a couple of years.”

Before Kanarek was approved as Manson’s attorney, Bugliosi’s colleague in the case, Dep. Dist. Atty. Aaron Stovitz, twice cited a series of cases which Kanarek is supposed to have continued.
