William F. Pepper - An Act of State - The Execution of Martin Luther King

[Tom Bowden]

I realize there has been many theories about there being a mole in MLk's party. I have heard names mentioned including Walter Williams and Jesse Jackson. Many of those in King entourage of that day have made a living off that relationship. Someone had to make the call, which resulted in King being on the balcony. My in-depth involvement with several parties begin when I signed an agreement with Jerry Ray to purchase the rifle presented in evidence for further testing after the death of James. Judge Joe Brown was an active supporter of our effort. In those days, I met with several members of the entourage and never had a good feeling about Jesse Jackson but feelings can not be presented in a court hearing. Unfortunately, the powers that be refused to let us conclude the sale and instead placed it with the Lorraine Motel Museum and we were unable to do further testing. I realize that some on this forum are supported of Pepper but I and not one of them. He does some good but he has not been successful for either Jame Earl Ray or Sirhan Sirhan. He has certainly been successful in making money.
