Mrs. King Asks Reno to Open New Inquiry

The widow of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. presented new evidence to Atty. Gen. Janet Reno in an appeal for another investigation of her husband’s assassination. After a two-hour private meeting in her Justice Department conference room, Reno said: “We will carefully review the questions and information they presented, and I will be in touch with them as soon as the review is complete.” The evidence included “new witnesses coming forth that had never been investigated,” Coretta Scott King said, but she would not elaborate.
