The flophouse bathtub James Earl Ray stood in to fatally shoot Martin Luther King Jr. has been sold on EBay to an online casino for $7,600, the tub’s owner said.
The Golden Palace Casino had the winning bid, said D’Army Bailey, a Memphis judge, who owned the tub. Bailey said he’d been assured the casino would treat the tub “with sensitivity for its historical significance.” Golden Palace has bought numerous historical or noteworthy artifacts for a traveling display.
