ELLIOTT Gamecock Staff Writer The murders by the Charles Manson family "are probably the most fascinating and bizarre things that ever happened before," according to Vincent Bugliosi, chief prosecutor of the case. About 900 persons attended a speech by Bugliosi Friday in the Russell House ballroom. Bugliosi, whose speech was sponsored by the Russell House University Union, spoke about the "Manson family," and how Charles Manson convinced his followers to commit murder for him. "Charles Manson is the first A T I uuuucici i iitivt; ever prusecuieu who had this incredible power to get other people to murder for him," Bugliosi said. "To just tell someone to go into a stranger's home and commit mass murder, I don't know if we've ever had anything like this in America," Bugliosi added. "If it hadn't been for Manson, the murders never would have happened," Bugliosi said. He added that those who killed for Manson. had a deep seated hostility against society.
