A few hours before the murder of Martin Luther King Jr. James Earl Ray
rented a room in a flophouse with a view of Dr. King’s motel room.
Moments after the shot was fired a white man ran from near Ray’s room
and sped off in white Mustang. The next morning Ray dumped his white
Mustang in Atlanta. There were however two such cars parked on the
block. Ray and his defenders claim he drove off in his before King was
shot and that the man who fled after was an imposter. The evidence
however indicates the opposite; the ‘other’ Mustang was driven off
about 30 minutes before the assassination and the man who fled did so
in Ray’s car, and thus almost certainly was Ray himself.
At about 3 PM April 4, 1968 the day Martin Luther King Jr. was
assassinated, escaped convict, James Earl Ray inquired about rooms at
Bessie Brewer’s rooming house on South Main St. in Memphis TN. Mrs.
Brewer first offered him room 8 but after looking inside he said he
was not interested, it had a stove and refrigerator and he did not
need cooking facilities, or so he said. She next showed him room 5B he
looked inside, said he would take it and registered under an alias.
Room 8 did not have a view of the Lorraine Motel on Mulberry St. where
Dr. King was staying, 5B did. You could only see the motel from Ray’s
room if you sat or stool right next to the wall at an acute angle to
window. The communal bathroom only a few feet down the hallway had an
almost head on view. The rooming house occupied the 2nd floors of two
separate buildings, the ground floors of which were occupied by [from
north to south] Jim’s Grill (a bar and grill), Cohn & Co. and Canipe’s
Amusements (a jukebox company that sold used 45s).
King was killed by a single rifle shot at 6:01 PM, police who happened
to be at a fire station around the corner responded quickly. Witnesses
indicated, and the coroner later confirmed, that the shot came from
the general direction of the flophouse. Moments after shot a man
carrying a long bundle ran from hallway Ray’s room was on down to Main
St., dumped the bundle in front of Canipe’s and sped off in a white
Mustang.
