saw this figure it's in the bushes but he actually saw
even the puffles for smoke some
the shot being fired from their I podium in my story
there was a New York Times the next day the two reporters interviewed others
who also said they saw something how many people saw somebody in the bush
at least half a dozen and some of them say this all right
yes and do you believe that with the shocking absolutely
Solomon Jones King Schober standing under the balcony
when King was shot I and huge Solomon Jones in the lobby is
Saint Joseph's Hospital prussian lot several fast dismissed or heat Ola
a Sony shot was fired he looked out a limousine
he saw a sniper with a slight sheet honest
place don't back down in the bushes a few seconds later
heroes out the bushes without the sheets walked to the wall
jumped down law and you must understand it other people coming out and fire
stations
at the same time jumping from the walls
Solomon said this sparsely Sol in the bushes joined in with his people jumping
from the Los
jump a long-lost on from Jenny said he was scared
Louis word was a taxi driver
he had a taxi driver friend I who came to Lorraine
shortly before the killing to pick somebody up and
guy was putting his suitcases into the car parking was up on the balcony
as taxi drivers trying to look over call buddy good luck over there
into the bushes just looking around for thought he heard some things or
something in the bushes
and the guy tapped him on the shoulder at all home
reckons attention market like that there's martin king always him
with somebody and no luck how expose the is now I'm
you know people say I have difficulty to camelot period and all of a sudden the
shot rang out
and is looking and King back think and what happened was right here
and he went down and this
driver and think that Lee turned back to those bushes they saw a man come down
over the wall
run-up Mulberry Street and get into
a white Memphis Police Department traffic call
that was parked between mulberry and feeling like they're
getting what so the guy gets on his radio
and he said a things when shot but it looks I don't know
many call an ambulance but I think it's probably too late but I think they got
the guy anyway cuz I the song into a
above put some up I
here up with so his body
the Louis Warren Hern heard one part of this conversation
the dispatcher and another the No
that I'll spite seeing something significant and we wasn't and he was
headed to the airport
with this passenger had to get out there right away world champions
so moving on met him at the airport and talk to me the airport holding
matched or he told him that story
and then three police officers came and Louis step back a harem
told police officers and
wait we heard was left he was going to get down to see them government paper
next morning
when we went back to yellow cap
place that night he saw a lot of police cars around um
I figure the guy was being interviewed again
and that was all there was to it and he went off because he was a part-time
driver evening come back to work for a few days
and we came back and he went into the driver's loans and he said the
a worth buddy Jim Bunning
missus silence and
point but it was somebody I I said
money one guy said them when you hear no when he was killed
nighter became assassination
kill remember well somehow ng
got himself thrown out of a moving car going across the Memphis
arkansas britt dead
and Louis was a shock
then quickly realized that
may be his friend that same too much and other
and that was what happened only told a story also
in the nine but ninety 93 94
heard to people held
these back how this information in
all a very hollow year number
old and im because of right they were afraid racing
so they held it back and there still people that they holding things up
and I look turn around and look back over my right shoulder
are looking around the CNR solak up of a small
rat behind the fire station are with him all those bushes
so in short you think what you saw was the immediate moment just
after the shop was right very much so and you're saying that you
believe it was fired from the bushes behind the fire station much so not the
bathroom window
that's correct to this day
I haven't been told to by the justice department by the Memphis Police
Department know what about when I shall
the day up the assassination and I think some stumbles commoner
the be honest on a long point freeing those
at people who was there but choir with some people
told to who wouldn within 50 yards of him
and I was like 5 10 feet away from me
and when told to but all the police ran away from
that shot instead of going to see who fired the shot
there were two sniper teams at least there and they were prepared to kill
at that I had for I have no doubt about what so ever
one of the lessons we from one
the source
was that there was no way that this assassination go forward
unless it had approval all the way up the chain of command
to wear
to the commander in chief you mean the president yes
but on the roof for the fire station I
there were two army photographer neighbors
psychological operations guys
they were put up on the roof about 1 o'clock in the afternoon
I guess when I used
my car for all we know is the capital the fire macarthur wins a mystery man is

get out to the bar
with the right in its box run to his room to pick up a bundle
then run 85 feet across the hallway go down the stairs
