Thus, in an unsworn statement, the man whom the U.S. Government claims is James Earl Ray battled last week in London against extradition to face a murder charge in Tennessee. "Some of the [Government] testimony is false," he stated in a high-pitched Southern-accented voice. Ramon George Sneyd objected in particular to a British detective's testimony that when he was arrested on June 8 he blurted: "Oh God! I feel so trapped...
...fingerprint expert testified that there were at least eleven points of similarity between the prints belonging to. Ray and those of the man held in London as Ramon George Sneyd. Ray's prints, said FBI Agent George Bonebrake, were on a rifle and telescopic sight abandoned in a store doorway near the shooting and also on binoculars wrapped with the weapon. Affidavits from merchants in Montgomery, Ala., and Birmingham pointed to Ray as the man who had purchased the binoculars, rifle and sight.

Sneyd was found to be packing a loaded pistol in his back pocket, plus another Canadian passport. And when Scotland Yard's crack detective Tommy Butler took over, the alert immigration official's original suspicions...
...time that Ray had left his fingerprints on the .30-'06 Remington rifle that killed Dr. King, he had made an elaborate odyssey from justice. He fled to Toronto on April 8, where he checked in and out of two $9-a-week flophouses. He adopted the name Ramon George Sneyd, that of a Toronto policeman, which he possibly picked at random from a city directory. Using his new identity, Ray submitted a passport application. Because of Canada's ludicrously simple passport procedures-which demand, in effect, that the applicant merely swear that he is Canadian...
