Paul Watkins as witness at Tate trial. Watkins, a good looking youth with a way with women, had been
Manson's chief procurer of young girls. Often he acted as Manson's second in command. While on

hold on was successfully deprogrammed from Manson's way of thinking by a local miner, Paul
Crockett and was therefore able to serve as a witness at the trial.
