Dear Mr . Ray:

UL 978

I was disappointed a t your l a s t l e t t e r . I know t ha t Dan Carswel l ,

a f r i en d o f Hunt and Sturg i s , had some coftnect ion to the King s lay ing

because he looks so much l i k e the sket c h o f Raoul . I sen t you a p i c t u re

o f Carswel l but you re fuse · to tell me if he looks l i k e the man who s e t

you up. ·· Sturg i s was · a f r i end o f a big guy named Gerry Hemming whose buddy,

l a t e r d ied under myster ious c i rcumstances , sa id he knew y our b r o th e r .

This mans name was EDWARD ANDERSON COLLINS. I sen t you a p i c t u re o f him

and Hemming to s how your bro the r in case they used d i f f e r e n t E name s .

I asked you to comment on Percy Forman 's s ta temen t to y ou about

Meyer Lansky inve s t i g a t ing the long d is tance c a l l s invmlved in y our case

and the f a c t t ha t Raoul ' s phone number tu rned ou t to be fo r t h e T o \ ~ and

Country Motel , Marchel lo ' s headquarters .

According to the New York Times t h e Committee has some guy named

Byers blah b lah b lah . I work with the Committee on the Keenedy t h ing and

know severa l people. I kB know no -orie connected w it h 'the .I<ing s id e o f it

I know the CIA and the Mob \< as invo lved . without your help I ei will never

be ab le to p ro ve any o f t h i s . Could -you send me ~ o p y ~ ~ h e ~ t i c l e on.:: .: .

Rosenson? You tell me you a re t i r e d o f foo l ing ~ i t h the leg a l sys tem fo r

Dear Mr. Ray:

Thank you for your letter of 3 August 1994 1 have enclosed all

the background material 1 have been able to accumulate so far on

Christ, and on Hemming's claim to have been in touch with your

brother. 1 have also enclosed several pictures of Hemming which 1

hope you will display to your brother and see if he ever met the dude.

Hemming could be bullshiting and may not have been in on the King

assassination. 1know he was the dude that Oswalded his old Marine

buddy into taking the fall for the Dealey Plaza hit. He was the one who

gave up Christ as the third tramp, one night in his private detective

office in Little Havana . Hemming stated: Kennedy turned the country

over to the niggers. Aside from all the Cuban bullshit, he deserved it

for that.

As far as Christ being Raoul - unlikely. Christ was 6 and weighed

about 190 in 1959. You describe Raoul as 5'8 , 140 pounds. Christ was

employed by the CIA in 1967. He would have had to have taken an· .

awful lot of time off to hang out with you in Montreal. He didn't have

a Spanish accent and 1 doubt if he could have faked one for a



prolonged period of time. A dude like Christ only appears on the scene

for a short period of time, does his work, then disappears. That sketch

looks like the tramp. It also looks something like you - but more like

the tramp.

What makes me think you were framed is your past record. All of

this low level criminal activity does not add up to someone who would

be ideologically motivated to kill King. Also Hemming's statements

when he was facing time for federal narcotics conspiracy charges that

he had a special knowledge of the King assassination. Maybe there was

a dude named Raoul. He didn t fire any shots. He just set you up.

Maybe he was Cuban, like Raoul castro? You say he worked out of

Miami and New Orleans. These are centers of Cuban exile activity. Did

he give you any indication he was Cuban? Did you ever ask him what

the arms were going to be used for? Any talk of an assassination plot?

Let me tell you something, Mr. Ray When Hemming and his people

frame someone, they know they were framed, but they don t really

know where it was coming from. Hemming was moving in a lot of

rightwing circles. was your brother really J:B stoner's bodyguard? Was

he connected with the NSRP? Did he have any contact with the

International Anti-Communist Brigade? INTERPEN? The Freedom

Fighters? Cubans? Mercinaries?.Maybe you did this on behalf of the NSRP and Raoul was your



brother? Then why mention him at all? The question is if you were set

up, how did Hemming come across you? In 1978 Hemming told me he

met your brother He hasn t made reference to it during a long series

of conversations had with him recently. The main thing is to establish

a Hemming/Anderson/Jerry Ray connection.

As for Fensterwald, that jackel s presence indicates some sort of CIA

interest in this whole affair. Hemming says someone moved in next to

him El Monte, California before the King thing and offers him a

contract on King. Hemming infiltrated the Black Panthers in California.

With my new knowledge of who Christ is am going to look at my

MLK file and see if can resolve this stuff about the tramps and the

MLK killing once and for all. Maybe did send you a photo of Hemming

once before, or ask you about it. I m not sure.

INDEPENDENT RESE RCH SSOCI TES6 LEECKER STREET - NEW YORK CITY 1001 PHONE: AJ WEBERMAN (212) 477-6 43

AN OPEN LETT ER TO JAMES EARL RAY

Dear Mr. Ray:

A w ~ i l e ago I received a l e t t e r from you about the te lephone number ·"Raoul" gave you for him in New Orleans- you sa id tha t you were not sureabout the exchange but thought it was 866-3757- as you know tha t reads outfor a H. Laventhal Marine Supply in the 1967 Criss-cross d i rec tory of NewOrleans. That s what made you th ink tha t some kind of Zionis t conspireracywas behind the MLK s laying •• cause Laventhal was Jewish. .

Laventhal has nothing to do with nothing • .He has no crimi.nal recordnor do any of h i s associa tes . You were mistaken about the number, buddy.I f you t ry 833-rather than 866 (note the s imi l a r i t y between the twonumbers) then you h i t paydi r t . 833-3757 i s for THE TOWN AND COUNTRY · MOTELwiich i s the headquarters of CARLOS MARCELLO- the top mafia don of theSouthwest. That i s why one of your associa tes had the n ~ Randy Rosenson-a · New Orleans drug smuggler-on his person. Rosenson works for Marcel lo.

The te lephone number 833-3757 i s not new to the inves t iga t ion of assass i n at ions. As you can see from the enclosed FBI document: (HO 62-2115),Will iamDavid Ferr ie Jim Garr ison ' s top suspect ~ n the JFK assass ina t ion a l soca l l ed th i s · number. He cal led i ~ o n N o v e r n b e ~ 23, 1963. Notice how the FBIt r i e s to disguise th i s fac t by l i s t ing h number as UE-3-3757. Who everheard of a "UE" exchange?

I have a lso included the testimony of New Orleans Cr :i me CommissionerAron Kohn regarding the mown and C o u n t r y l h i s t e s ~ r n o n y __: inc ludes :; thefac t tha t NOFIO PECORA was the f i r s t man--_to m a n ~ ~ ~ t h e Town and Country.PECORA moved on to manage another Marcello p r o ~ t : t , y _ e = ~ Q ~ T r o p i c a l CourtTou" :'ist Camp in New Orleans.

fo r the book . I didn ' t have a copy of your o r i g i n a l book, r a t h e r

a loca l inves t iga to r helping me bought it and sene me some o f the

pages xeroxed .

F i r s t , re Fensterwald .When

he f i r s t s t a r t e d rep re sen t ingme

he appeared very d i l i ge n t ; however , a f t e r he ob ta i ned the

eviden t i a r y hearmng in the Memphis f edera l cour t he appeared

to become very defens ive in prosecu t ing the mat te r . He wouldn t

permit h is as soc ia te Jim Lesar to ask witnesses c e r t a i n

ques t ions . We had a very s t rong case fo r a t r i a l , as I can see

now from hinds igh t . In one i ns t ance dur ing discovecyhe Lesar

d i d n t ask Percy Foreman the subscr ibers to a re lephone no . in

New Orleans connected with t he MLK case , even though Foreman

s t a t e d under oath he had found the name of the subsc r ibe r • • . I

wasn ' t presen t fo r t he Foreman depos i t ion .Then to Fens te rwald fa i l e J

to c i t e a 1969 sup. c t . case in h i s 6th c i r c u i t cour t appeal

t ha t would have made it extermely d i f f i c u l t for the cour t not to

r ever se the d i s t r i c t cour t dec i s ion . Fur the r , a f t e r the ev iden t -

i a ry hear ing in Memphis , Fensterwald ask me to l e t Lesar f i l e

the br i e f s to the 6th c i r c u i t and argue them a t the hear ing .

At t ha t tmme Lesa r was young and was not a c r . a t to rney .

The next t ime I saw Fensterwald was 15 years l a t e r (1990) , I

t i n ~ in the Brushy Mountain pr i son . He showed me a pic . along

with some informat ion about a dude named SMITH • . • I have the fu l l

name here some where. Fensterwald ask me i Smith was Raoul .

1



. .

'

Now, Smith was an Anglo and I assumed he spoke wi th a Texas

a c c e n t , i . e . , he had ver-y little in common with Raoul .

Appar-ently Smith was found dead , in a f i e ld near Houston, with

a gun sho t wound to the head shor t ly a f t e rMLK

was sho t .Fens te rwa ld a l so ask me if I had seen an i nd iv idua l he had

ano ther pictur-e of . This was an Aust r i an who apparen t ly served

in the German army in WW as a commando. He ask if I had saw

t h i s person when I was t r y i n g to go to B i a f r a , i n 1968, from

Por tuga l . Some of Fens te rw ald s ques t ions in fo rmat ion fo r me

was type on paper fo r me to read, . thus I guess he thought the

v i s i t i n g room we were in was bugged. The nex t I heard about

Fens te rwa ld he had died. I now have an FOIA r eq u es t in with the

JD/FBI for- hi s f i l e . (He appeared to me, from hinds igh t aga in ,

to be more i n t e r e s t ed in a cont inous i n v es t i g a t i o n o f the MLK

case , r a th e r than re so lv ing it).

As to David Chr i s t , I assume he i s Frenchy , the guy on p.222

o f your book. I have mentioned before t h a t he has s t r i c k i n g

s i m i l a r i t i e s to Raoul, and could have been hi s b ro the r , bu t I

doubt very much if he i s Raoul . • • Percy Foreman s i n t e r e s t in

Frenchy i s r-eferred to as you know on p . 122 of your book-- I have

r e f e r r ed to t h i s in the book I had publ i shed . I ll send you a

copy under s ep e ra t e cover . ( I d o n t know if Je r ry knew Hemmings

Col l ins or not . I t h i n k you ask me about these two seve ra l

years ago. Anyway I suspec t if Jer-ry· did meet e i t h e r o f them

they were t r ave l ing under an assumed name).

What I am doing now i s f i l i n g more FOIA su i t s , both reques t s

law su i t s : I have r ecen t ly sued AG Reno. She has i s sued about 3

orders s ince October 1993 re l ax ing FOIA exemptions but so f a r

the JD/FBI has not r e a l l y complied with her orde rs . Po s s i b l y

she j u s t i s sued the o rders fo rPR

reasons . In add i t ion , in the1993 Sup. Ct . Landaoo case a f u r th e r re l ax ing of the exempt ions

es p ec i a l l y (b ) (7 ) (D) , was ordered . Consequent ly I t h i n k the FOIA

rou te may be the bes t way to f ind some type r e s o lu t i o n i n the MLK

case

Dear Hr . Weberman:

Th o nk you for the l e t t e r 8c the Book , the l a t e r which I receiv ed some t ime

ago but di d not know who sent it

Regarding the picture yo u refer to as "Carrigan ?, the July 1977 issue of

Newsreal p . 62 say ' s his name i s "Ted Slack .

About my testimony , i t rere i s nothing I c an ' t , or won't , testmfy to as a

witness for myself that T could t e s t i fy to as a State witness ; of course

a r a t r ~ a r a t re gardl ess of who you te s t i fy against .

In addit ion the State witness business giv es the government an excuse to

hold you in s o l i tary confinement for "protect ion .

The FBOr may have rele a sed some f i l e s on the case under the FOI but

most everything of importance i s class i f ic ied ( inclu din g th e l as t J D

inve s t iga t ion conducted on Levi 's orders) . A feder al Judge in Wasd . D.C.

(Smith) has also order various material p la ced in the a rchives under the

guies it i s personal matter re la t ing to personal l i f e . Of course an y

thing could be pl a ced in th is f i l e t hat th e FB I-JD wanted suppressed .

I have writ ten Mercel E. Randolph, an SCLC leaded in Plh.ils. Pa . agre eing

to destroy anything in the archive s materi al that wou l d be co nsidered

personal and he has agreed to support to th i s ; but now P . B. has come up with

some faj;> 'ica t ion tha t I ' M in te res ted in exposing King ' s priva te life", or

words to th a t ef f ect .

Besides the Stephens s t atement you sent me I think (based on what 1 know)

statements of the fo l lowing will decide my cullpabl i t y in the case:

1 • Stempens wife , Gracie Stephens· (now in an asylum) .

2 . LLoyd Jowers

3 . David Wood .

4. Charles Hurley

5. Mrs . Hurley (Peggy) .

6. Mrs . Frances Thompson

7. Hrs . Elizabeth Copeland.

. .

, J

All the above were witnesses to the M u s l ~ g (s) between 4 & 5 : 30 pm . on the

day of the shooting . •

Regarding the ph number .. ,

1• Thompson used to be a sher i f f e p J.n the

we have de t e rmin ed th a t ph. no . v pl an;.ted on: . : J .• •

. '

p ~ r i s h Baton ,Rouge s in ,

me-I never us ed it



' l 'his ph. number as I s ay may be wrong, but t i s l i s t e d under a double

name, a french name I believe a na llle s imu l ar to Levine . I t i s a

t1ar ine supfy establishment ..

There was also a Rosenson , t wa s f in a l ly de te r mined he was l i s t e d under

Randy Rosenson , 11802 N W . S. River Drive, Hedley Florida . I found t h i s

n ame whi l e shakins down the f fustang in Hexico befor e cros s ing the border i n

November 1967.

All of the above h a s be en f i le d in a law su i t against Time Ma ga zine now on f i l e

in the u.s . ~ t h c i rcu i t court of app eal s
