Brother claims Ray said someone else involved
John Ray, brother of James Earl Ray, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that Ray claimed another person was involved in the King murder. He said Ray spoke from Memphis jail two nights before his guilty plea, wanted to testify, and suggested a conspiracy was hushed by the FBI. Ray later received a letter expressing indifference to the outcome.
