Julia was John's birth mother, accidentally killed by an off-duty drunk police officer when John was 14.
Martha was Paul's sheepdog. The song "Martha My Dear" is Paul's tribute to Martha, the Sgt. Pepper album ends with a long blast from a dog whistle as a message to Martha, and Martha's taped barking can be heard in the fading seconds of "I Feel Fine."
I'm not sure what you mean by "exploited." Although Manson's connections are documented in an earlier post, it was Vincent Bugliosi (the DA in the Manson trial) who authored the book about he murders entitled, "Helter SKelter." I hope that's what you were looking for.
George's plagiarism involved his single "My Sweet Lord," released in 1970, and the Chiffons' "He's So Fine." I don't know if George actually willfully plagiarized that song or not, but musically speaking they are identical. George made many offers to settle the suit, but they were all declined, and the court eventually ruled against him.
I'm not sure about George's favorite guitar. Since you typed in "trick question," that would lead me to guess that he didn't have a favorite. The most famous photographs show him lugging around that enormous Gretsch.
