QUESTIONS
ABOUT WHO KILLED MLK
Q
2: The Motel Lorraine from: http://www.parascope.com/articles/0197/mlk2.htm
Local newspapers mocked King when he announced he was coming back to
According to researcher Michael Newton, the editorials criticizing King quoted
directly from an FBI press release, which was distributed to "friendly
press contacts" in
Hoping to avoid further antagonistic press in wake of the disastrous March 28
demonstration, King's camp switched his accommodations to a room at the Motel
Lorraine, where he died on April 4.
From a security standpoint, changing King's lodging to this particular motel was
a bad mistake. The Motel Lorraine was located in a fairly seedy part of town.
The day before King arrived, someone claiming to be an advance security man
dropped by the Lorraine Hotel and changed King's reservation from a ground-floor
room to a second-floor balcony room, saying, "Dr. King always likes to have
a room on the second floor overlooking the swimming pool." (It is worth
noting that King's brother was later drowned under suspicious circumstances in
the swimming pool at his home.) Questioned later, none of King's associates were
aware of an "advance man," and his description didn't match any of
King's friends or associates.
Switching rooms eliminated any trace of security that the location might have
had. The new room was in the rear of the building, the balcony wide open to
sniper fire with no cover whatsoever.
At 6:01 p.m., on April 4, 1968, King stepped out of his motel room on his way
to get dinner. He leaned over the railing to speak to his chauffeur. A moment
later, a single shot from a high-powered rifle blasted out, and King fell to the
concrete balcony, where he lay dying.
3: The Shooter
-- More Questions Than Answers
As soon as King fell, an aide, believed to be Marrell McCullough, pointed to
the bathroom window of Bessie Brewer's boarding house. The fingers of others
followed him, as recorded in photographs of the assassination. (For more on
McCullough, see Part 5, "Strange
Goings-On at the Memphis P.D.")
From that window, or so the official story goes, a man named James Earl Ray
allegedly fired the shot that killed King. Yet a number of questions and
contradictions offer reason to doubt the official explanation. For instance:
-- James Earl Ray, not unlike his lone-nut cousin Lee Harvey Oswald, was
a poor shot in the Army.
-- Ray was never convicted in a trial by a jury of his peers. He
confessed to the crime under extremely adverse circumstances, but immediately
recanted his confession and sought a new trial.
-- At Ray's evidentiary hearing, a former FBI ballistics expert testified
that not even the most skilled gunman could have accurately fired a rifle in
the manner claimed by the government prosecution. According to the expert, to
effectively line up for such a shot, the butt of the rifle would have had to
stick six inches into the wall. The prosecution countered that Ray had
contorted himself into position around the bathtub in order to make the kill
shot, which seems equally incredulous.
-- After the assassination, Wayne Chastain, a reporter at the Memphis Press
Scimitar, came across an unpublished Associated Press photograph in the
newspaper's files which was taken from the boarding house bathroom window,
through which Ray allegedly shot King. The sniper's view was obscured by
branches from trees growing between the boarding house and the Motel Lorraine. The
City of Memphis ordered the sanitation department to cut those trees down
shortly after the assassination, making it impossible to conclusively
determine how the tree branches may have interfered in a shot fired from the
boarding house bathroom.
-- The bullet recovered from King's body has not been adequately tested and
has not been proven to match Ray's alleged murder weapon.
-- Only one witness claimed to have seen Ray leaving the boarding house
bathroom, a man named Charles Stephens. According to two other sources,
Stephens was extremely inebriated at the time. The first three descriptions
Stephens gave didn't resemble Ray at all -- in fact, Stephens' first two
descriptions of the alleged assassin were of a "nigger". Stephens
admitted that he did not get a good look at the alleged assassin. It wasn't
until the FBI paid $30,000 in bar tabs for Stephens that he fingered Ray as
the hit man.
-- Two other witnesses saw someone leaving the boarding house bathroom. One
witness, Bessie Brewer, the owner of the boarding house, could not identify
the individual and refused to identify Ray as the man she had rented a room to.
The other witness, Stephens' common law wife Grace, said she did get a good
look at him, and that it was definitely not James Earl Ray. Grace's drunken
husband became the preferred witness. Grace was committed to a mental
institution. According to her lawyer, C.M. Murphy, she was committed illegally,
and after she was committed, the
-- In addition to Brewer, two other witnesses at the boarding house insisted
that the man who rented Ray's room looked nothing like James Earl Ray.
-- Less than two minutes after the fatal shot was fired, a bundle containing the
30.06 Remington rifle allegedly used in the assassination and some of Ray's
belongings was conveniently found in the doorway of the Canipe Amusement Company
next door to the boarding house. Ray would have had to fire the shot that
killed King from his contorted position in the bathroom, exit the sniper's nest,
go to his room to collect his belongings and wrap and tie it all in a bundle,
leave his room, run down the stairs and out of the boarding house, stash the
bundle next door, and then get away from the scene unnoticed -- all within two
minutes!
-- A service station manager told an investigator for Ray's defense team that
he saw Ray several blocks from the boarding house at the time of the shooting.
He was stabbed soon after he started talking to the defense team.

4: Sniper in
the Shrubbery?
If Ray did not shoot King from the boarding house bathroom window, where did the
shot come from?
One witness sitting in front of the
bank of trees -- the same trees that would have blocked Ray's view from his
alleged sniper's nest -- said he heard a rifle
fire directly behind him at ground level, not from the boarding house.
Other witnesses also reported hearing the shot from ground level. Two people
at the fire station nearby reported that a boy ran in and told them a similar
story, but he left before police could question him.
King's chauffeur, as well as some of his aides who were standing on the balcony
with King, all testified that King appeared to have been lifted physically
off the ground. This is inconsistent with a shot from the boarding house
bathroom, but consistent with a shot originating from the ground below the
boarding house window.
It is possible that Ray, like his lone-nut cousin Oswald, had a doppleganger.
Ray allegedly escaped in a white Mustang, but several witnesses reported seeing
two white Mustangs on the street on April 4.
People in the neighborhood said Ray "stood out" in the seedy area
because he wore a suit. The driver of the other Mustang might have been a
man in a similar suit seen several times eating at Jim's Grill near the Motel
Lorraine. This mystery man became known as the "eggs and sausages"
man, because he started showing up shortly before the assassination and always
ordered eggs and sausages.
On April 4, 1968, the "eggs and sausages" man ate his usual fare,
paid his tab and left the cafe. A few minutes later, King lay dying. Police
picked up the "eggs and sausages" man for questioning after diners at
the cafe reported what had happened, but he was never booked on suspicion of
being involved with King's death.
In March, 1994, Betty Spates, a former employee of Jim's Grill, signed an
affidavit stating that restaurant owner Lloyd Jowers "came running through
the back door" carrying a rifle just moments after the assassination. He
then placed the rifle, broken down into its component pieces, in the trunk of
his car. Jowers purportedly told Spates he would kill her if she ever told
anyone what she'd seen.
Although he is serving time for the crime, Ray denies that he personally killed
King. However, he says that he may have been partly, but unwittingly,
responsible. He claims he was duped into a gun-running scheme by a mysterious
man with CIA and mafia contacts named "Raoul." The
gun-running scheme enabled Raoul to manipulate Ray into position as the
conspiracy's patsy.
Ray was not apprehended until June 8, after traveling from
So who was the trigger man? Researcher
Philip Melanson suggests that "Raoul" may actually be a man named
Jules Ricco Kimble, currently serving two life sentences for racketeering and
murder. Kimble, an associate of the Ku Klux Klan and New Orleans mob boss Carlos
Marcello, claims that he knew James Earl Ray and that he took part in a
conspiracy to assassinate King.
According to Kimble, Ray was a patsy, and the real assassins were a team of
seven men from the CIA, three disguised as
Regardless of whether Kimble's story is true, witnesses heard a shot from ground
level at the same location as the alleged CIA sniper, and the only witness who
placed Ray at the boarding house bathroom window at the time of the murder was
Charles Stephens, an alcoholic who, according to another witness, was
"peeing in some bushes" when the fatal shot rang out.
6: The FBI and
the
Death of MLK
The FBI had targeted King for surveillance, harassment and sabotage just as they
had done to Malcolm X and countless other black activists during the civil
rights struggle.
Most of this spying and subterfuge was carried out under COINTELPRO, the FBI's
Counterintelligence Program. Legendary FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover,
A few months before the assassination,
One documented COINTELPRO caper involved surveillance of King's alleged
"sexual escapades." The tapes of these supposed escapades were later
used in an attempt to blackmail King into committing suicide. Your tax
dollars at work.
Cartha Deloach, the man in charge of the FBI's surveillance and harassment of
King, was also put in charge of the investigation which indicted James Earl Ray
and concluded that he acted as a lone nut.
The
Frank Holloman, the Memphis Public Safety Director who had military guests on
the afternoon of April 4, was a retired 25-year veteran of the FBI, who worked
as head of the
After the assassination, using taxpayer money, the FBI footed $30,000 in bar
tabs for Charles Stephens. (Them's 1968 dollars, too.) Floating in a sea of
booze, Stephens changed his original descriptions of the assassin from an
anonymous black man to James Earl Ray.
Was the FBI directly involved in King's assassination? They certainly dedicated
a lot of manpower towards surveilling and harassing the man. Entire books have
been written about the FBI's obsession with King.
It is quite likely that the FBI was involved with the cover-up -- and possibly
the execution -- of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination. Suffice it to say
that in 1978, the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that
there was a 95% probability that King was killed by a conspiracy. However, the
House Select Committee also concluded that "James Ray fired one shot at Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr.; the shot killed King."
After the House Select Committee released its Final Report in 1979, Committee
Chairman Louis Stokes (D-Ohio) and Chief Counsel G. Robert Blakey ordered that
all of the committee's backup records, documents, unpublished transcripts, and
investigative data be locked up for fifty years -- only to be released long
after the witnesses and assassins are all dead.
In light of the masses of information which have developed regarding the King
assassination, the "official" story just doesn't hold together. But
exactly who pulled the trigger on the man who dreamed that one day his children
would live in a nation where they would be judged by the content of their
character, and not the color of their skin?
We may never know the answer to that question. And we can thank the FBI, at
least in part, for that.

MARTIN LUTHER KING - THE FATAL SHOT CAME FROM A DIFFERENT DIRECTION
from: http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/ARTICLE1/overlooked.html
In Memoriam: Ted Wilburn, the author of the piece which follows, passed away this morning, June 17, 2002. He had the courage not only to ask questions, but to find the answers when nobody else would.
On April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel, Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated.
The official story is that a single man, James Earl Ray,
was staying at a rooming house located at
In the back of this rooming house was a shared bathroom with a window that looked out onto the swimming pool of the Lorraine Motel.
According to the government, James Earl Ray shot Dr. Martin Luther King from that window. There is, needless to say, no physical evidence to prove this charge. James Earl Ray spent his life in prison based solely on a coerced confession which he immediately retracted. None of the ballistics tests, which were performed on the rifle James Earl Ray allegedly used, were able to link that rifle to the actual bullet that killed Dr. Martin Luther King. Dr. King's family does not think James Earl Ray was the killer, and recently won a civil court case proving there was a conspiracy.
Now, thanks to writer Ted Wilburn, in a story which follows, new evidence has surfaced to prove that the government and the media have been lying to the public about the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King.
Just moments after Dr. Martin Luther King was killed by a sniper's bullet, a photographer took the above picture. Dr. King lies on the balcony floor. The witnesses are all pointing in the direction the fatal shot was fired from. There is no confusion among the witnesses as to where the source of the shot was. They are not confused by echoes. There is no uncertainty. All three witnesses are pointing in exactly the same direction.
The official story is that these men are pointing at the bathroom window in the rear of the rooming house from which James Earl Ray is supposed to have fired a gunshot.
But is that where the witnesses are pointing?
As part of the research, Ted Wilburn went back to the Lorraine Motel, to the very spot where Martin Luther King was shot, and took a photograph of the crime scene location that shows a great deal of the surroundings.
Indicated at left is the actual window of the rooming house from which the government maintains that James Earl Ray shot Martin Luther King.
A line has been drawn from the rooming house window back to the balcony on which the pointing witnesses were photographed. Note the end of the line near the fire extinguisher and the intersection of the line with the top of the pale blue door.
Using the fire extinguisher and the top of the door as landmarks, a line is drawn on a detail of the photo taken just moment after the shooting, indicating the direction back to the window of the rooming house.
As can be seen, NONE of the witnesses are pointing towards
the window of the rooming house at
Note the small green circle marking the corner of the roof right above where Dr. King was killed.
The above photograph was taken from inside the bathroom of
the rooming house at
The evidence in the photo taken just moments after the assassination is unequivocal. The claim that the witnesses are pointing to the rooming house where James Earl Ray was staying is a complete fabrication. The gunfire came from another direction high above the bathroom window.
Here follows Ted's story.
Overlooked evidence in the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
By
Ted Wilburn: Special Correspondent to What Really Happened.
Here is my brief biography and an overview of events, which led me to my discovery of this overlooked evidence, and of what it exists.
Theodore Carlton Wilburn; Date of birth, 11-30-33; Native Tennessean; Native Memphian; Native American. Occupation: 38 year AT&T employee now retired.
For the first twenty years of my life I rode the Memphis
Area Transit Authorities (MATA) means of transportation from
The day Dr. King was killed, April 4, 1968, I was at work
on my 4:00pm to 12:00 o'clock midnight shift. Shortly after 6:00pm I heard the
news of Dr. King being shot as it was broadcast over the radio. I recall that
the Memphis Police Department was quick to discover an open bathroom window in
the rooming house where James Earl Ray rented a room. That news quickly made the
The Lorraine Motel was converted into the National Civil
Rights Museum which was dedicated June 30-July 4, 1991, and opened September
28,1991 per its web site. Work on the conversion actually began about eighteen
months earlier as I can best determine at this time. Miss Jackie Smith, a
resident at the
My curiosity about Dr. King's assassination was acutely
aroused in January of 1994 when I went to The Memphis Commercial Appeal in mid
January to get a back issue of their December 1993 Christmas week paper. While
the CA clerk retrieved a copy of the paper for me from storage I began looking
through the CA's book, I AM A MAN, for sale there at their counter. It is a
picture book of the Memphis Sanitation Workers strike of 1968, the reason for
Dr. King's presence in
In this picture Dr. King is lying on his back on the walkway with his feet stuck beneath the wrought iron balcony railing. His legs are bent at his knees forming an inverted "V"; his back lying flat on the walkway that turns left and passes the side of room 306 where he was staying. The balcony turns right again at room 307, which is offset from room 306 by a distance of nearly the length of the room. I belabor this point because it is important to know the physical layout of the rooms to determine where Dr. King was actually lying immediately after being shot.
I had no prior knowledge that day in mid January of 1994
that the CA's book I AM A MAN existed. But I left the CA with their book and
newspaper less some twenty-five dollars and went to the city library located at
Peabody & McLean to do some genealogy research. As I passed a display of
books about Dr. King in the library's history department one book caught my
attention, The FBI & Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., by
Dr. Francisco stated that the death bullet entered Dr. King's body on the right side of his face, traveled downward right to left through his neck, and lodged beneath the skin close to his left shoulder blade. That information is consistent with where the eyewitnesses (one of whom is Reverend Andrew Young) in the murder scene are pointing. Finding this interesting I went to a copy machine and copied the page with Dr. Francisco's statement regarding his autopsy report.
In the murder picture Rev. Young is actually looking in the direction of his pointing finger, but I couldn't see any rooming house where he or the others with him were pointing. Page 107 of I AM A MAN is a picture of the Lorraine Motel taken from inside the bathroom window of the rooming house.
The write-up on page 106 about this picture says "Officers soon discovered the bathroom window at 418 1/2 S. Main through which they say James Earl Ray aimed when he shot Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Also on page 106 there is a statement made by Charlie Stephens who lived in the room next to the one rented by Ray. Stephens is quoted here as having said this after he heard the shot: "I went to the door and walked out into the hall. I could see the man in the offset in the hall. He had in his hand something wrapped in a newspaper." Even though Stephens doesn't mention Ray by his name its obvious that Ray is the person to whom he refers.
My curiosity now fully aroused I left the library and went
home, got my Pentax K1000 camera and a supply of film, and drove directly to the
Lorraine Motel which was then open to the public as the National Civil Rights
Museum. There I found Miss Jackie Smith living on the street in her 5th year of
boycotting the museum. It was she who pointed out the bathroom window of the
rooming house from where police officers claimed Dr. King was shot. It was not
even close to where Andrew Young and the other witnesses were pointing! I used
two rolls of film that day taking pictures of the area from the street, the
courtyard of the museum, and the
Over the next few weeks I used up several more rolls of film photographing the area. Twice I paid the entrance fee and was allowed to use my camera inside the museum. On my third trip to the museum the employees were very helpful. One of them took me up directly to room 307 and unlocked the door and we went out on the balcony where I used up another roll of film. Incidentally, room 307 is the one next to room 306 (Rev. King's room) where the offset of the rest of the rooms begins.
This museum employee who escorted me to the balcony even posed for me pointing exactly like the eyewitnesses are pointing in the murder picture. I put several of these together to form a panorama.
These pictures were taken during the summer when the trees behind the rooming house were in full leaf. Consequently none of the rooming house is visible in my panorama. I was never able to get the museum employees to cooperate with me again to take pictures from the balcony during the winter when all the leaves were gone.
One of my photographs I took from the
When I took this picture in January of 1994 it didn't
occur to me to take enough shots to make a panorama. It is among the first
pictures I took when I didn't know what I was looking for. The blue tiled facade
of the museum entrance was blocking my view of a building in the direction where
the eyewitnesses were pointing when the murder scene picture was taken. So I
took a few steps backward until it came into view and then I took my wide-angle
picture. I still didn't know what it was even after I saw the developed photo,
but it didn't take me long to find out that it was the top of the Fred P. Gattis
building elevator shaft. This part of the
There are two structures in the murder scene photo in the direction where the eyewitnesses were pointing. The closest one is a chimney on the rear wall of the Lorraine Hotel where the Lorraine Motel building begins. The farthest one is the Gattis penthouse. My telephoto shot of the penthouse shows that it was a perfect location for an assassin to fire on Dr. King from and not be seen. The hotel chimney was much too small and too close to accommodate a killer in such a manner (as the Gattis penthouse) that he wouldn't be seen. The Gattis penthouse is obviously the only structure in the entire area whose location supports the eyewitnesses' silent testimony and Dr. Francisco's autopsy report. The bathroom window where police officers claimed the bullet was fired from obviously does not support the eyewitnesses' pointing fingers or the doctor's autopsy report. James Earl Ray could not have been in two places at the same time (1) the rooming house, and (2) on top of the Gattis penthouse. Obviously, someone other than Ray was the killer and he fired on Dr. King from atop the Gattis penthouse.
From my collection of photos I produced five pages of pictures of my discovery, and a three-page explanatory document. Each page is numbered, and each photo is numbered and identified for cross-reference to the written document.
Attorney William Pepper, Ray's
I can't say where Pepper & Chastain or the others heard about it. Anyway, I met with Pepper and Chastain later that same Sunday when Herman called me. I hand passed Pepper a copy of the same five pages of photographs and document that I gave Jackie Smith and carefully explained it all to him and Chastain. I never heard anything more from either of them, but I did visit with Herman twice at his home. He was interested then, but a year or so later when I called him he was very rude. He let me know that he was no longer interested in Dr. King's murder because nobody was paying him for his services.
Pepper's book Orders to Kill, his conspiracy theory first
edition, was printed in 1995. I bought a copy in 1996 after discovering it in a
bookstore at
The bullet I've seen in TV specials and in Pepper's book is in three pieces. It's a mystery to me that the death bullet is claimed to have been in one piece when removed from the body, sent to the FBI in one piece, but came back from the FBI in three pieces.
The map in Pepper's book shows the geographical layout of
the murder location, with the exception of the
The fire station tower is considerably higher than the penthouse and the balcony. I mention it for this reason: If there was a conspiracy in Dr. King's murder there would be the possibility that someone with access to the top of the communications tower would have observed that the penthouse overlooks the balcony.
But my writing is not to promote conspiracy theories. It is to show certain facts that were missed during investigations. My triangulations drawn in Pepper's map show that the trees and bushes behind the rooming house do not block the view between any two of the three buildings I mention, the Penthouse, the balcony, and the fire station tower. However, the tree does completely block the view of the balcony from the rooming house when it has leaves on it, and partly when it is bare.
The city cut down the trees and bushes the day after the murder so there may not be any pictures that show how much foliage there was. But it was April and people were walking around in their shirt sleeves at the murder location shortly after Dr. King was shot. A police officer was also standing in front of the rooming house in his shirt sleeves guarding a bundle of things allegedly belonging to James Earl Ray. See page 105, I AM A MAN.
I mention this because it shows that the temperatures were
warm enough for trees to start putting forth leaves and the possibility that
they blocked the view of the balcony from the rooming house. The city cut down
the trees & bushes the day after the murder, but they grew back. So the tree
in my pictures isn't the same tree that was growing there the day Dr. King was
killed, but it is (or rather was) growing where it blocks the view as my
pictures show. In 1999 the City of

As for the scientific evidence that three judge panel wanted to see, these things are day-one documentation, (1) the eyewitnesses fingers pointing at the Gattis penthouse and, (2) Dr. Francisco's autopsy description of the bullet through Dr. King's body that agrees with the eyewitnesses' pointing fingers.
After my correspondence with Ray I received a phone call from another lawyer, Andrew Hall, who said he was representing Ray. He wanted to know if I had any expertise in criminology. I sent him a copy of my materials, but never heard from him again. Hall was later mentioned several times in the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
