iH's Movieiand Hotel
By ANTHONY BURTON 5
Staff Correspondent of Tiis NEWS
Los Angeles, Aug. 11-Fantasy ruled not so long
on the land where the gigantic $500 million complex
of buildings called Century City now stands. Here,
fake cowboys strutted along false-fronted western
streets and phony explorers struggled through bogus
African jungles. -
Then it was the back lot of 20th Century-For studios and
thousands of men and women spent their days spinning fairytales for the worldfs screens. Now the miniature city of the
future is here, dominated by the ultra-modern hotel, the Cen-
tury Plaza.Today, Secret Service men and high police officials met in
the hotel to consider a situation so extraordinary that derisiveeyebrows might have been raised if it had been offered at a
story conference in the old days. v
A Fete for Asfros e
It was not enough that in two days s state dinner would
-be held in the banquet room of the hotel for the three moon1 astronauts. It was not enough that President Nixon would be'arriving from the summer White House down the coast atSan Clemente. It was not enough that antiwar protest groupswere planning a showdown wi police outside the liote .On top of all these security problems, local law enforce-
ment officials were struggling with bizarre mass killings, an
effort that was using their resources to the utmost.As the hunt went into its third day, police also had to dealwith repeated demands from residents in isolated areas for
additional police patrols. _Looks Through Binoculars
Nobody was using the word panic, but it was not far awayearly this morning as neighbors gathered in the sulty dark-ness outside 3301 Waverly Dr. in the Los Feliz section of thecity. From the roadway,.they could just make out smears oiblood on the walls of the living room. One youngster had a
pair of binoculars to bring the scene into closer focus.The bodies of Leno and Rosemarie La Bianca were still
inside and detectives were starting work on the inevitablequestion: was there a link between this and the killing of
actress Sharon Tate and four others Friday night? Was amad killer at large, able_to strike again and again?
As High Cop Sees If
One woman pulled her robe closer around her, hugging
herself as if chilled, although the night was warm. I don't
know what to do she said. I can't sleep knowing whoever
did this is stiLl free. How can anyone_ go to sleep! I'll have
to stand here all night. I feel better seeing that policeman
at the gate." _ _ -Later a gray-haired police inspector came out and said he
did not think there was any connection between the two cases.
If it was meant as a reassurance for the neighbors it was
not helpful. _All it meant was that there was a surfeit of madness,
enough for two separate horrors. The enemy was within the
gat-as and nobody was safe.,_._¢-1 ' *_.____=-'"'-"""""' '"""v-~-~'"M"-1-"-H-urn----Iv-»~:==~:1mI-I:-'<-~11-I--~':' 1" 'i:"'"'i:i:::';iiI'!;1t|:mil::.ZI;:mn'!i!':I!:i:||!"it:':=::2::.'I:::'|::'1'!'::1Z' 1.1;. Q-I-;L;zI}a ..Q4ii-

prowl ballooned today following a report from the coroners office that a
married couple found brutally murdered in their secluded Hollywood home
w¬F'e'lEilled in a manner closely related to the savage murders ofittress
i
2[her PBPSOIIS.
It's a carbon copy of the
earlier murders," said a po-
lice investigator of the death
of grocery-chain heir Leno
La Bianca and his wife,
Rosemary, who were found
dead last night, 36 hours
after the discovery of the
bodies of Miss Tate and the
others.
A coroner's office spokesman
disclosed his findings after view-
ing the bodies of the La Bianca
couple. Full autopsies are still to
be performed.
Working Around Clock
_ '1'he_lat_est murders threw the
investigation of Sharon's slaying
into chaos. Police, almost without
clues in the_death of Sharon, thewife of Polish lm director Ro-
man Polanski, working aroundthe clock when they had to haltthat investigation and turn their
attention to the new killings.
At _lesst_ one suspect in the Tatecase is still at large.
A second suspect, William E.
Garretson, a 19-year-old caretak-
er at the Benedict Canyon estate,
was released today without any
charge now pending against him._'I'he latest victims were LaBianca, 4f, an insurance aglent,and his wife Rosemary, 88. woteemge children from a previous
marriage of Mrs. La Bianca,
Frank and Susan Struthers, came
upon the grotesque scene as they
returned home at 10:30 last night.
Stunned police found strong
similarity between the murders
of the La Biancas and those at
the Benedict Canyon Estate . _
In the latest murders, the killer
dipped a hand in .his victims
blood and smeared the words death to pigs" in foot-high printacross a living room wal . Police
said the killer used the heel of his
hand-appainntly in an ef tto leave any ngerprints. _ _

La Bianca's body was sprawled
on the floor. A big heavyset man,
he was wearing trousers but his
white shirt had been ripped open
and a meat-carving fork was
stuck in his chest. The word
war was carved into his chest,
apparently with the fork. Under-
neath the word, the killer had cut
several Xs into his body.

His wife lay face down in the
bedroom next to her bed. She
was wearing a negligee which
had been pulled over her head.
Her back had been so badly mu-
tilated that police could not atI Tfirst determine whether she had
been stabbed or beaten with a
whip. Later, it was theorized that
she had been stabbed with a
ba onet-like weapon.Through the long night. fright-
ened residents of Los Feliz stood
on their lush lawns or came to
the scene to watch police go in
and out of the isolated single-
story white stucco home. _

When_Sharon's body was found
at her $200,000 red barn-style
home, a nylon cord was looped
around her neck and around the
neck of her former boy friend,
hairdresser Jay Sebring, 35, whohad a_ piece of black cloth wrap-
ped like a bandage around hishead. -- -
. Red Auto Located
A police investigator said about
the two sets of killings: There
is a similarity, but whether it isthe same person, or just someone
copying t e Tate murders, we
don't know. it's possible that
someone read about the other
killings and decided on the same
kind of thing.
One of the strongest leads in
-the hunt for Sharon's killer evap-ogtedigg last night. iv---.,_Her ire-engine red Ferrari -was
fesnrnn Los Angelss-garage
It apparently had been taken
there for repairs last week. Police
tfnought the ear might have been
used for a getaway by the killer-
Sharo nd he four com n a r -
panions were killed_I-ridsy night
or Saturday morning, savag_elyending a party Sharon was giving
for her friends. _
Garretson took a 90-minute hedetector test at Folice head-
quarters yeserdsy. oliee said it
was a favorable test and he was
returned to his cell as detectives
sought to ll in some minor de-
tails. Later today, he was uncon-
ditionally released.
Garretson s attorney, Barry
_!arlow, said that the Tate killer
was more likely someone con-
nected with the murder vcitims
themselves.
"There was a party at tbe house
the night of the killings, he said.
From the investigation made bymg office our best fuess is thatw oevei; did it was zihvolved in lapersona way wi ese peop e
who were killed.
Results of Autopsiea
Coroner Thomas Nogucbl re-leased the results of autopsies
which determined the causes of
death tor Sharon and the other
four victims at her home:
Sharon, who was eight months
pregnant, was killed by multiple
stab wounds in the chest and
back. The autopsy showed that
the baby would have been a boy.
