Ray's switch long planned
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UPI)—James Earl Ray planned for as long as a month to make a last-minute switch in lawyers to delay his trial for the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., it was learned yesterday.
It appeared the move would succeed. Attorney Percy Foreman, brought into the case Sunday, spent the day drawing up his request for a continuance of the trail, set to begin Tuesday.
Judge W. Preston Battle was expected to grant the delay, probably until after Jan. 1.
Vague Hope
Sources close to Ray said the defendant maneuvered the lawyer change to delay the trial in the vague hope that something might change the picture and the case against him might be dropped.
Foreman will ask for a continuance of the trial because he needs time to prepare the case—particularly since Arthur Hanes, fired as Ray's lawyer—is refusing to turn over his files and records on the case until he is paid $15,000 he claims Ray owes him.
Judge Battle, who met with Hanes and prosecutor Phil Canale Sunday night after the change in lawyers was announced, said no jury venue would be called for the 10:30 a.m. (CST) opening of the long-awaited trial.
Ray hired Hanes when he was arrested last summer in London. It was learned that Ray's brothers, John and Jerry, had urged him from the outset to hire Foreman. Hanes, on the other hand, reportedly tried without success to reach Ray's brothers since June.
Hanes told Foreman by telephone Sunday night that until he is paid, "Don't call me, I'll call you." Hanes had suspected for some time that he might be fired, a suspicion apparently strengthened last Wednesday during his final meeting with Rav.
Unhappy With Hanes
Unhappy With Haines It was reported that Ray and Hanes argued whether Ray would testify.
Ray wanted to take the stand in his own behalf. Hanes advised against it.
Attorney Richard D. Schrieber of St. Louis, who defended Ray in a 1959 armed robbery trial, said Ray tends to try to dominate the defense strategy. In that trial, Schre伯说，Ray testified against his advice and "told things on the witness stand that he never even told me." He was convicted.
Ray's brothers were disgruntled with the financial agreement Hanes made with author William Bradford Huie, who is writing a series of articles for Look Magazine.
The details of the financial arrangement Hanes made with Huie have never been disclosed, but it was understood that Ray received $30,000 for his story, and Hanes several times that amount. Ray's brothers thought
No charges filed yet in Bruce Mallin case
No charges had been filed this morning in connection with the death of Bruce Mallin, 20-year-old Kansas City junior, who died yesterday after a Thursday afternoon fight in the east parking lot of Naismith Hall.
County Attorney Dan Young said a 17-year-old Kansas City freshman had been questioned and released. More witnesses were to be questioned, he said yesterday.
The KU student is believed to have suffered head and neck injuries in the fight. However, Wayne E. Hird, assistant county coroner, refused to disclose the cause of death even though an autopsy had been performed.
"I don't think this should be public information at this time," Hird said. Guidance Center facilities to fulfill this requirement. stemming from three to four weeks ago, acquaintances said.

KU's future participation in the USAF Loan program will be re-evaluated before the 1969 spring semester, he said.
the defendant should have gotten a larger share.
Foreman told the Memphis Press-Scimitar Monday that he didn't expect much cooperation from Hanes for the time being because "I understand Hanes still has a problem of collecting part of his fee."
For his part, Foreman insisted,
he wasn't interested in money
