...hired Memphis Attorney Richard J. Ryan to seek to overturn the 99-year sentence Ray accepted last month in return for a guilty plea. Judge W. Preston Battle, 60, the tough jurist who sentenced Ray, was found dead of a heart attack last week.

Hanes Sr. Hanes has not only talked to the press about the possibility of a Communist conspiracy in the King murder, but has also complained bitterly about the sheriff's unusually strict guard over Ray. Some of his protests were dutifully echoed by Defense Detective Renfro Hays.
