The following is from the first edition of Ed Sander's "The Family."
This is from the chapter named "Death Valley 1968."  About
the last four pages originally were different.  The first paragraph
reproduced here is for reference as to where the change occurred.
======================================================================
  In London, Davis approached the Church of Scientology to pursue
courses of study.  He was employed by the Church of Scientology for a
short time, working in their mail room.  The Church of Scientology
fired Davis after a couple of weeks when he wouldn't stop using
drugs, they say.

  According to a homicide investigator extremely close to the case,
Bruce Davis then began to hang out with the Process Church of the
Final Judgment at their Mayfair townhouse.  Later, when he re-
turned from London to the Spahn Ranch, Davis was talking and
whooping about the Hitler-loving satanic organization.



  In the summer of 1968, Processeans flooded the New York un-
derground where they sought out writers, editors and musicians as
potential converts.  They hounded Paul Krassner, editor of the Real-
ist for days trying to get Tim Leary's home phone number for a con-
version attempt.  They claimed to Krassner that they only had to be
physically present in a street scene to cause street riots.

  For a while, Robert and Mary Anne DeGrimston aka Christ and
Goebbels-Hecate, lived for a while with a lady named Godard in
Brooklyn while the main body of caped Process members lived in a
building on 12th Street in the Lower East Side.

  The Process set up a chapter of their so-called "church" at 28-1/2
Cornelia Street in Greenwich Village where they held more or less
public meetings.  With their black capes and black garb they flocked
about on the streets near the Fillmore East.  Once poet Allen Gins-
berg was attempting to purchase an egg cream at the Gem Spa
luncheonette at 2nd Avenue and Saint Marks Place when several
Processoids approached him, giving forth the there is no good / there
is no evil routine.  When Process members were encountered they
usually announced that they were on the way to California.

  In August 1968, Robert DeGrimston-Moor dictated his book, "A
Candle in Hell."

  The Process continued their feud with the Church of Scientology.
Once Father Aaron Tubal-Cain interrupted a scientology meeting
in N.Y. to try to hold an auction of E-Meter parts.  An E-Meter is a
form of electrogalvanometer used by the Church of Scientology in
the training of their converts.  In the early period of the Process,
they also used the E-Meter but later abandoned its use.

  In the summer of 1968, the Process told at least four people inter-
viewed by this writer that they were traveling to California, yet in
interviewing people up and down the state of California, there is
only the faintest indication that they were there.

  It is known that the Process had, among its "chapters" three
closed chapters, the locations of which are kept secret.  In California
there were Process activities in Marin County, Santa Barbara, The
Santa Cruz Mountains and the Santa Ana Mountains.

  It is regarding activities in the Santa Cruz Mountains south of
San Francisco beginning in late fall 1968, that ghastly reports of
occult sacrifices have been received.  The same people indicate that
the Process stopped using the name Process and began to use other
names.

  Police began reporting finding exsanguinated animals and de-
capitated animals, in the remote Santa Cruz wilderness.  One hu-
man has recounted witnessing ritual executions in a grove on Route
17 south of Santa Cruz.  The ceremonies involved use of a portable
crematorium to dispose of the bodies, a wooden altar adorned with
dragons and a wooden morgue table.  There were as many as forty
people in attendance at these sacrifices.  The instrument of sacrifice
was a set of 6 knives welded into a football shaped holder.  The
heart was eaten.

  The group was called the Four Pi movement, and was dedicated
to the "worship of evil."  Later, the group moved ceremonies to the
Santa Ana Mountains south of Los Angeles where they continued
their barbaric abhorrencies.  The leader of this human sacrifice
group, a large man, held the cult title Grand Chingon.  It was not
Manson.

  However, at least five times in this writer's presence Manson has
been called The Grand Chingon or the Head Chingon by members
of his family.

  According to interviews with individuals in New York who had
contact with the Process chapter in New York in late 1968, part of
the Process returned to England in December and others spread out
across America on the sly, and open activities in New York were
ceased.  By early 1969, the Process was operating in New Orleans
openly.  For secret activities in the Los Angeles area, there are indi-
cations that the sacrifice group was running pre-arranged obscure
ads in the personals sections of underground newspapers to inform
members of upcoming nocturnal assemblies.
