Racial Motive Questioned In King Case By House Panel
The House Assassinations Committee examined whether racial hatred prompted James Earl Ray to kill Martin Luther King Jr or if the Memphis Police were involved in a conspiracy. While motive for the murder appeared unclear, testimony described a barroom clash with a black sailor and suggested jealousy over a prostitute rather than racism. Ed Redditt, a black former Memphis detective, testified he was moved from King’s surveillance two hours before the killing, but said this did not prove a conspiracy.
