()-Cap- tive quarry of one of the na- tion's greatest manhunts, James Earl Ray is scheduled to go to trial Tuesday for the assas- sination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. A jury in Shelby County criminal court eventually will be asked to determine whether the 40-year-old escaped convict fired a' fatal bullet into King's neck. King, the civil rights ad- vocate was shot to death from about 200 feet as he stood on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, April 4. Ray, a quiet, nervous man of many aliases, was captured in London June 8, by Scotland Yard operatives. His seizure climaxed a record $1.5 million FBI manhunt, during which more than 3,000 agents traveled an aggregate 500,000 miles for two months along Ray's elusive trail. The state of Tennessee appar- ently will have to rely on fit- ting together all the pieces of circumstanitial evidence in its attempt to prove Ray is guilty, unless the jury is to hear eye- witness testimony not as yet made public. A skeletal outline of the state's case against Ray was presented at his extradition hearing in London last June. after his capture. Presumably, the prosecution's case was re- vealed only to an extent deemed necessary at the time. The hearing produced this broad outline : On March 29, a man said to be Ray bought a rifle with a telescopic sight at a Birming- ham, Ala., shop. The next day he came back to exchange it for a Remington 760 rifle, serial No. 461476, and a telescopic sight, serial A17350. A receptionist in a Memphis motel was quoted as saying that a man she identified as Ray booked lodging there April 3. On the same day, the prosecu- tion said, a Memphis. store sold a pair of binoculars; serial No. DQ408664, with straps, for $41.05 to a purchaser resem- bling Ray. Charles Q. Stephens said in an affidavit that on the day of King's assassination he was liv- ing in a Memphis rooming house, from which, the FBI claims the fatal shot was fired. Stephens said he saw the woman manager, Bessie Brewer, talking with an unidentified man outside Apt. 5B, down the hall from hishown apartment. King was shot to death at 6:05 p.m. that Thursday in April. the news today by The Associated Press and College Press Service A PLOT TO ASSASSINATE President-elect Richard M. Nixon was disclosed by the Secret Service yesterday. Two Yemeni men were arrested in a tenement in Brook- lyn's East Side and later charged with conspiracy to murder the President-elect. Two rifles were confiscated. A STRONG EARTHQUAKE rocked the heavily pop- ulated midwestern United States yesterday without caus- ing major damage, The National Earthquake Center in Washington said the quake registered 5.5 on the 10-point Richter scale, just under the usual damage point of 6. From its center approximately 120 miles east ofSt. Louis, Mo. the earthquake was felt in at least 19 states. Across the area effected by the quake there were wide- spread reports of swaying buildings, trembling walls and desks moving. Large buildings in St. Louis swayed noticeably for about 10 seconds, according to local residents. HOPES INCREASED yesterday for the salvaging of the enlarged Paris peace talks. Several significant developments over the weekend have encouraged members of the Johnson administration that the talks could.continue. First U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker and President Nguyen Van T'hieu riet yesterday for the first time since Oct. 31. Sources in Saigon said the talks concerned U.S. efforts to persuade Thieu to join the talks which included the National Liberation Front. Also, officials privately regard as favorable Thieu's pro- posal for two-sided talks led by the two Vietnams. Under Thieu's plan the NLF would be part of the North Vietnamese delegation and would not be a separate entity. The United States had not taken a public stand on the proposal.

A white 1966 Mustang impounded by the FBI in Atlanta a week after the assassination was said to have been Ray's. Police who examined the dis- carded bundle claimed it\ con- tained binoculars, a rifle and' a telescopic sight-each bearing the serial numbers previously noted. Inside Apt. 5B, they re- ported finding straps for the binoculars and a sales receipt for $41.05. That is the nub of the state's case against James Earl Ray, in- sofar' as. it, has been revealed. From it, there is no indication that anyone actually saw the assassin fire the rifle. There has been no public dis- closure of motive. The state has insisted there was no conspir- acy, although the defense has hinted otherwise. Which may be exactly what the defense intends to claim. On Oct. 28, the Nashville Tennes- sean reported the defense will say Ray was promised $12,000 to $15,000 "to lead police away from' the real killers and be- come the lure in the greatest manhunt in hitr.
