25 WV-Charles Manson, shaggy leader of a hippie clan, was convicted today of first-degree murder and conspiracy along with three women followers in the slayings of actress Sharon Tate and six others. The state said it will ask the death penalty for all. The defendants, who staged wild outbursts during their seven-month trial, sat passively as guilty verdicts were returned on the 27 counts against them.
