Court scrutinizes Ray Foreman letters over royalties
The court cited two letters from Foreman to Ray outlining royalties. One letter claimed Ray signed over royalties up to 15,000 dollars and that Foreman would retain the amount, with Ray receiving any royalties above that if he pleaded guilty without in-court embarrassment. The other offered 500 dollars to Ray’s brother Jerry, contingent on a guilty plea and a March 10, 1960 sentence without disreputable conduct. The court said a hearing is needed to determine the matter.
