...committee produced a change-of-address card mailed in Los Angeles asking that Ray's mail be forwarded to general delivery, Atlanta. Similarly, Ray claimed he was not pursuing King in Atlanta on April 1 of that year, but the committee introduced an Atlanta laundry slip for that date bearing the name of the alias Ray had been using.
