Discussion:
The MLK Assassination - A Tale of Two Mustangs
(too old to reply)

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.

Cool. So doesn't the coordination of white mustangs indicate conspiracy?
How do you explain all his travel with no money?

Isn't it a little suspicious that a bag with all the evidence in it is
left in a doorway outside the bar?

I answered that in the linked paper:

The two Mustangs were very similar. Both were dirty, white, late-model
hard-tops from states (or a state) that differently from Tennessee did
not use front license plates. Ray’s was a 1966 289 HP and the one in
front of Jim’s appears to have been a 1966 - 8 289 HP as well. There
are two possible explanations, coincidence or conspiracy. However
unlike Pepper I don’t think the latter would point to the FBI, CIA,
DoD, MPD or Mafia let alone a combination of these groups. Quite to
the contrary, certainly either one of them would have been capable of
getting two cars without the differences noted above, getting Ray to
scrape off those Mexican stickers and parked the 2nd one in Ray’s spot
after he pulled out. If this was more than an incredible coincidence
it seems to have organized by a not very capable group of people
perhaps some of Ray’s acquaintances or some KKK types, certainly not
men like Richard Helms, J. Edgar Hoover, Carlos Marcello and Frank
Holloman among others.

That's outside the scope of my paper but I think it's quite possible
someone was giving him money, also IIRC there is evidence he was
involved in some robberies

That's also outside the scope of the paper, my guess is that he saw
one of the cop cars and got spooked. If they wanted to frame Ray why
not just leave the stuff in his room?

There were several bounties on King’s head, my take is that Ray hoped
to collect one, it is possible some gave him money beforehand and some
other help. If you believe that the conspiracy (if there was one)
didn’t go beyond some Klan types and perhaps some of Ray’s brothers,
then we are in general agreement.

Wrong again the plaintiffs charged, and the jury held, that the
“conspiracy…reached into the higher levels of the government of the
United States and some of its agents and officials.” The civil case
was a joke; it was a publicity stunt. Loyd Jowers, the ‘defendant’,
and his lawyer also said there was such a conspiracy but claimed he
was but a small cog, the King family only asked for $100. Why would
someone pay a lawyer to fight a $100 claim? Why would a prominent NYC
come down to Memphis for a few weeks to claim that amount? It was an
abuse of the judicial system.

http://www.thekingcenter.org/civil-case-king-family-versus-jowers

As noted in my paper:

“The Civil Rights Division of the DoJ however made a very strong case
that Jowers later claims were BS, he told an essentially consistent
story for over 25 years, then told various inconstant and implausible
tales of a complex conspiracy which he eventually recanted and
described as “b***s***”. His ‘confession’ was apparently part of a
scheme to try and get a book or movie deal”

How was my answer a dodge? Where he got his money was outside the

robbery which netted “more than $27,000 in cash”, half that would have
gone a long way back then. Even Pepper acknowledged “The Alton bank
robbery occurred on the day before some of his purchases began…”.
Pepper also wrote that “James, however, said he initially obtained
funds in Canada by robbing a Montreal brothel…”

Why would he confess to hiring Ray? For fame? Status?

My paper was about Ray's obviously false gas station alibi, especially
the witnesses descriptions of the 2 Mustangs, I'm not really
interested in debating other points here.

Why would he confess to hiring Ray? For fame? Status?
Sounds fishy to me.

So why did Files "confess"? As for Jowers read the report.

Nice dodge.
How was my answer a dodge? Where he got his money was outside the

robbery which netted “more than $27,000 in cash”, half that would have
gone a long way back then. Even Pepper acknowledged “The Alton bank
robbery occurred on the day before some of his purchases began…”.
Pepper also wrote that “James, however, said he initially obtained
funds in Canada by robbing a Montreal brothel…”
Yeh, like that sounds really believable.
Which story do doubt the one about the bank or the one about the

Any story you tell.

I am not asking you to reveal which agencies were involved.
I am just talking about conspiracy in general.
There were several bounties on King’s head, my take is that Ray hoped
to collect one, it is possible some gave him money beforehand and some
other help. If you believe that the conspiracy (if there was one)
didn’t go beyond some Klan types and perhaps some of Ray’s brothers,
then we are in general agreement.
In other words a contract hit, half up front and half after the job.
Perhaps half, perhaps expenses plus a stipend, who knows?

All you have to do is look at Pepper’s books or his comments during

that various people he believed were involved were tied to one or more
of those agencies, you claimed that they accused “dumb country hick

Actually a bank, for your analogy to fit you would have to be a long
time criminal who had previously robbed banks. If a bank in your small
hometown was robbed a few months after you escaped from prison and the
day before you started spending a lot of money, most of the spending
was in the same denomination as was taken from the ban, the MO was
similar to ones in your previous crimes and you met the general
description of the masked robbers, then yes it would be reasonable to
suspect you might have been involved. Supposedly he paid for his $2000
Mustang with $20 bills. No the numbers were not sequential.

I’m tired of this pointless ping-pong, you pretty obviously haven’t
read my paper let alone the sources I cited in response to your
tangential questions. From this point forward I will only address
points relating to Ray’s claimed alibi and the witness descriptions of
the Mustangs on Main St. I consider Jower’s “confession” relevant
because he was one of the witnesses I cited but unless you can rebut
the point made in the DoJ report there is no point in discussing it
with you.

Yeah, and we know that the FBI sent King a letter telling him to commit

a valid analogy because the Brown and Goldman families sued for millions,
thought they did not get the full award they received much more than $100

sued OJ Simpson and his lawyers tried to refute the claim he was the

Cool. So doesn't the coordination of white mustangs indicate conspiracy?
I addressed that in the linked paper:

The two Mustangs were very similar. Both were dirty, white, late-model
hard-tops from states (or a state) that, differently from Tennessee,
did not use front license plates. Ray’s was a 1966 289 HP and the one
in front of Jim’s appears to have been a 1966 - 8 289 HP as well.
There are two possible explanations, coincidence or conspiracy.
However unlike Pepper I don’t think the latter would point to the FBI,
CIA, DoD, MPD or Mafia let alone a combination of these groups. Quite
to the contrary, certainly either one of them would have been capable
of getting two cars without the differences noted above, getting Ray
to scrape off those Mexican stickers and parked the 2nd one in Ray’s
spot after he pulled out. If this was more than an incredible
coincidence it seems to have organized by a not very capable group of
people perhaps some of Ray’s acquaintances or some KKK types,
certainly not men like Richard Helms, J. Edgar Hoover, Carlos Marcello
and Frank Holloman among others.
Post by Anthony Marsh
How do you explain all his travel with no money?
That is outside the scope of my paper but I don’t discount the
possibility someone was funding Ray and IIRC there is evidence he
committed robberies, including a bank robbery after he escaped.
Post by Anthony Marsh
Isn't it a little suspicious that a bag with all the evidence in it is
left in a doorway outside the bar?
Actually the record store. That is outside the scope of my paper but
why wouldn’t the plotters have just left it in Ray’s room? The most
likely explanation is that Ray saw one of the cop cars parked in front
of the fire station and decided dumping the bundle was a better option
than risk being caught with it.
