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. Like good courthouse reporters anywhere, Roy Hamilton of the Memphis Press-Scimitar and Charles Edmundson of the Memphis Commercial Appeal printed the complaints...
