CORCORAN, Calif. (AP) — Mass murderer Charles
Manson plans to marry a 26-year-old woman who
left her Midwestern home and spent the past nine
years trying to help exonerate him.
Afton Elaine Burton, the raven-haired bride-to-be,
said she loves the man convicted in the notorious
murders of seven people, including pregnant
actress Sharon Tate.
No date has been set, but a wedding coordinator
has been assigned by the prison to handle the
nuptials, and the couple has until early February to
get married before they would have to reapply.
The Kings County marriage license, viewed
Monday by The Associated Press, was issued Nov.
7 for the 80-year-old Manson and Burton, who
lives in Corcoran — the site of the prison — and
maintains several websites advocating his
innocence.
Burton, who goes by the name "Star," told the AP
that she and Manson will be married next month.
"Y'all can know that it's true," she said. "It's going
to happen."
"I love him," she added. "I'm with him. There's all
kinds of things."
However, as a life prisoner with no parole date,
Manson is not entitled to family visits, a
euphemism for conjugal visits.
So why would Burton marry him under those
conditions?
She said she is interested in working on his case,
and marrying him would allow her to get
information not available to nonrelatives.
"There's certain things next of kin can do," she
said without elaborating.
Tate's sister, Debra, who acts as a spokeswoman
for the families of Manson's victims, said the
impending marriage is "ludicrous."
"I think it's insane," she said. "What would any
young woman in her right mind want with an 80-
year-old man?"
As for Manson's motives, she said, "The devil is
alive and well."
Burton gave an interview a year ago to Rolling
Stone magazine in which she said she and
Manson planned to marry. But Manson, who
became notorious in 1969 as the leader of a
roving "family" of young killers, was less certain
about tying the knot.
"That's a bunch of garbage," Manson said in the
December 2013 interview. "That's trash. We're
playing that for public consumption."
Asked Monday about those comments, Burton
said, "None of that's true," adding that they're
waiting for the prison to complete their paperwork.
California Department of Corrections spokeswoman
Terry Thornton confirmed to the AP that the
license had been transmitted to the prison.
Thornton said each California prison designates an
employee to be a marriage coordinator who
processes paperwork for an inmate's request to be
wed. In most cases, she said, the Department of
Corrections approves of such weddings as "a tool
of family reunification and social development." But
Manson is a unique case.
Burton said the wedding might have happened
earlier if Manson did not have "some situations" at
the prison.
Thornton explained that in February, Manson had
three violations for possession of a weapon,
threatening staff and refusal to provide a urine
sample. Further details on the violations were not
immediately available.
Burton said the prison holds marriages on the first
Saturday of each month and she expects to be
married in an inmate visiting room at the prison.
Thornton confirmed that Manson can have a
wedding at the prison and invite an officiant from
outside the prison to perform the ceremony.
Manson and his prospective spouse also would be
allowed to invite 10 guests who are not inmates.
He and two followers, Leslie Van Houten and
Patricia Krenwinkel, remain imprisoned. Another
follower, Susan Atkins, died of cancer behind bars.
Other members of the Manson "family" still behind
bars are Charles "Tex" Watson, Bruce Davis and
Robert Beausoleil.
Manson, Watson and the women were convicted in
the gruesome killings of Tate, the wife of director
Roman Polanski, and four others at her estate on
Aug. 9, 1969, and grocers Leno and Rosemary
LaBianca who were killed the following night.
Manson is not eligible for parole until 2027. He
has been a habitual criminal and spent most of his
life in prison.

wife finds missing husband married to another woman in the same city
Wife finds missing
husband married
to another woman
November 11, 2014 | 6:55pm
A married man who disappeared
almost a decade ago has been
discovered by his wife online — living
in the same state and married to
another woman.
Karen Marx, 48, had been searching
for her spouse, Adam, ever since he
vanished without an explanation in
2005.
But when she finally tracked him
down on Facebook, she was shocked
to find he was living about 155
miles away in her home state of
Wisconsin, and happily married to
someone else.
“I just thought, ‘How could he get
married again?’” Karen told the Post
Crescent. “Am I dead? What did he do
with my identity?”
Karen, who has three kids from a
previous relationship, said Adam was
married with two children of his own
when she met him at a local carnival
in the 1990s, where he worked as a
ride operator.
But Adam agreed to divorce his first
wife for Karen, whom he married a
year later.
Adam quit his carnival job and moved
in with his new wife, who supported
the family on her machine operator
wages. But after about a year, he
vacated the family home, leaving only
a note.
“The first time he left me, it was like
somebody reached into my chest and
ripped my heart out of me,” Karen
said. “He basically told me it was all
my fault and he couldn’t handle my
kids.”
However, he returned several months
later — right when she was due to
collect her Christmas bonus.
Karen took him back, and used her
savings to buy the family a new home
in Clinton, Montana. He found work
at a timber framing company while
she tried to start a cleaning business.
However, about a year into their new
life, Adam started accumulating debt
and Karen confronted him about
suspected infidelity.
He left in his truck and Karen locked
the door behind him.
“He tried kicking my door in. I was
pretty afraid of him back then,” she
said. “But over the years, I just look at
it and think he’s a coward. He left me
with just a note in Wisconsin and then
he left me in Montana.”
[POLICE] SAID
HE TOLD
PEOPLE IT WAS
HIS FIRST
MARRIAGE, AND
THE [CLERK]
NEVER
CHECKED VITAL
STATISTICS.
- Karen Marx
A short time later, Adam lost his job
at the timber company and stopped
answering his phone.
Karen, still saddled with Adam’s bills
and debts, bumped into her husband
once at a nearby Kmart and asked
him for a divorce. He said he’d call.
“Needless to say, I never heard from
him,” she said.
In 2012, Karen moved home to New
London, Wisconsin, to look after her
sick dad, and found Adam’s mom on
Facebook. She told Karen of Adam’s
new life — and his new wife, Marcie.
Stunned, Karen contacted the police,
who arrested Adam and charged him
with bigamy, fraud and making a false
statement on his marriage license.
“They said he told people it was his
first marriage, and the [clerk] never
checked vital statistics,” Karen said. “I
think people need to start doing their
job and doing it thoroughly, especially
when it comes to something like this.”
Adam allegedly told investigators he
thought Karen took care of the
divorce in Montana, and that he lied
about his latest marriage being his
first to expedite the procedure.
Karen vowed to finally file for
divorce, and said she wouldn’t date
anyone until it’s finalized.
“I consider myself married,” she said.
“I thought when you married
someone, you married him for life,
through sickness and health.
“Even though he’s married to some
other woman, I’m still a married
woman, and married women don’t do
that.”
If convicted of fraud, the most severe
charge, Adam faces up to six years in
prison.
Bigamy also carries a maximum
penalty of 3½ years’ jail in Wisconsin.

Tumeric: A compond found in tumeric encourages brain repair
A compound found in turmeric
encourages brain repair
Scientists have discovered that a common curry
spice encourages the growth of neural stem cells
in rats, and could help the brain heal itself.

New research suggests that aromatic-tumerone, a
compound found in the spice turmeric, could be
used to create future drugs to treat patients with
neural impairment, such as sufferers of strokes
and Alzheimer’s disease.
Scientists from the Institute of Neuroscience and
Medicine at the Research Centre Juelich in
Germany studied the impact that aromatic-
tumerone has on neural cells by injecting the
compound into the brains of rats. Scans revealed
that, after being injected with the compound, the
regions of the brain involved in nerve cell growth
were more active.
The researchers also tested the impact of the
compound directly on neural stem cells, which are
cells that have the ability to transform into any
type of brain cell and, in theory, should be able to
repair damage or disease. But in humans and
other mammals this process doesn’t seem to
work so well.
"In humans and higher developed animals their
abilities do not seem to be sufficient to repair the
brain but in fish and smaller animals they seem to
work well,” Maria Adele Rueger, a neuroscientist
who was part of the research team, told Smitha
Mundasad from BBC News.
After treating rodent neural stem cells in different
concentrations of aromatic-tumerone, the
scientists found that the compound encouraged
the growth of the neural stem cells - and the
higher the concentration, the greater the growth.
The turmeric compound also sped up the
differentiation of the stem cells. The results are
published in the journal Stem Cell Research and
Therapy.
"It is interesting that it might be possible to boost
the effectiveness of the stem cells with aromatic-
turmerone. And it is possible this in turn can help
boost repair in the brain,” Rueger told the BBC.
The team is now looking into human trials to find
out whether the turmeric compound has the same
effect on our brain cells.

Man propose to girlfriend with 99 iPhones 6: She says no
Man Buys 99 iPhones to
Propose to His Girlfriend;
She Says No
He got 99 iPhones but gettin’ hitched ain’t
done.
With “Singles’ Day” looming in China (Nov.
11), one man thought the time was right to try
to tie the knot with his girlfriend, preventing
them both from having to participate in any
future 11/11 festivities.
As a keystone of the young programmer’s
marriage proposal were 99 iPhones 6’s placed
on the ground and arranged in the form of a
heart. The setup, as reported by The Nanfang ,
cost the love-bitten chap two years’ salary
(about $82,000).
But that evidently wasn’t enough. She said
no. Siri, how do you mend a broken heart?
Whether our once-hopeful groom likes it or
not, pictures of the ultimately sad event are up on the Chinese microblogging
site Weibo .
But of course, with a bushel of iPhones that
size, we’re not convinced he has any real
reason to feel too bummed. According to a
recent survey, one in five men would actually
rather have an iPhone 6 than a girlfriend . And
that number is even up from last year’s
survey about the iPhone 5s, where one in
eight said they would forgo the soft touch of a
woman for a new Touch ID-equipped Apple
phone.
So, whether our crestfallen man ends up
hawking these phones one by one to make
back big bucks , or just decides that 99 Siris
are better than one real wife, we get the sense
that he’ll be OK in the end. Remember, it’s
better to have loved and lost 99 iPhones than
never to have loved at all.

Man invites daughter's rapist to dinner.. then,............
Man invites
daughter’s ‘rapist’ to
dinner then tortures
him to death
November 3, 2014 | 9:32am
A furious father is facing murder charges
after he treated his teenage daughter’s
alleged rapist to dinner before torturing
him to death.
The man’s 14-year-old daughter was
allegedly raped two months earlier by the
45-year-old married man.
According to the Indian Express, the
father invited the man to his home in
northeast Delhi’s Khajuri Khas for his last
meal before assaulting him.
He reportedly strapped the alleged rapist
to a chair, burned his genitals with heated
tongs and strangled him.
I BURNED HIS GENITALS
ONCE, HE SCREAMED. I
DID IT AGAIN, HE
SHUDDERED.
- Father of alleged rape victim
Police say the father turned himself in
following the incident, giving a detailed
statement of the elaborate torture
methods he had carried out.
“I burned his genitals once, he screamed.
I did it again, he shuddered. When I did it
the third time … he did not move. He was
dead … I did not want to kill him,” the
father reportedly told the police.
“The father called the medicine supplier
over to his house, saying he wanted to
discuss some issue. He served him
dinner,” an officer told the Indian
Express.
“After the meal, the father overpowered
the man and tied him to a chair. He got
heated tongs and burned the supplier’s
genitals before strangling him to death.
He came to the police station and
surrendered himself.”
Police allege the man had been planning
the murder since his daughter told him
about the incident the day it happened,
but did not report it to police, fearing “a
bad name for his daughter.”

Express.
“After the meal, the father overpowered
the man and tied him to a chair. He got

about the incident the day it happened,
but did not report it to police, fearing “a
bad name for his daughter.”
