...Sutherland-had offered him $50,000 in 1967 to arrange for King's assassination. Byers said that he turned down the offer. Subsequently, the New York Times obtained another FBI document, quoting Byers as saying that Kauffmann later made the payoff to the actual assassin, James Earl Ray, who is now serving a 99-year term for the murder...
...truth of the matter may never emerge. Under questioning by committee members, Byers has stuck by the informant's account of the $50,000 bounty on King. It is not clear whether he also confirmed that the money was paid to Ray. The committee plans to administer a lie-detector test to Ray about the tale; he will be removed from jail to testify at the hearings.

During the 1970 All-Star game, a bone-crunching collision at home plate left Cleveland Catcher Ray Fosse sitting stunned in the dust and television viewers aghast. In 1973 Rose had a wrestling match with Mets Shortstop Bud Harrelson that left New York shrieking for his blood. Fans in rival cities pelted him with debris and jeered his every move...
