Bell says U S will not take Ray custody
Attorney General Griffin Bell announced the federal government will not assume custody of James Earl Ray, despite Tennessee requests after his June escape and recapture from Brushy Mountain Prison. He cites Tennessee’s capacity to hold Ray and notes no federal action now. Blanton reacts with disappointment. Bell also signals possible developments in the Helms perjury probe and outlines efforts to obtain Tongsun Park’s testimony in the Korea influence case with South Korea.
