girl group singing at the New Frontier Hotel. Gail proceeded to cl:e
.Xew F,·ontieY Hotel end approached Clara Ward in the lobby. After l
introducing herseZj to Gail, Clara T1/ardhanded her $100 and said "I ¼
have a coufJle of friends in town that would like t(:, n:eet you and have 1
i
you talie ca.re of them." Clara w·ard then stated that lhe reason she w..ts t
paying Gail the ;;::.oo was because these. two men did not believe in
paying a girl for her services and for Gail to keep quiet a"bvut receiving 1
any money. .,

Clara Ward then tooli this prostitute, Gail, to the Sands Hotel I.
bar where they lzad a drinh, then Clara ivard made a p.1:.onecall
and shortly thereafter, Rev. JvJartin Luther Xing-approached them
at the bar and they both accompanied him to his-room in the Sands
Hotel. Clara Ward introduced Gail to the Rev. King as a very good
friend who worked as a dancer in the line at the Tropicana.
Gail stated that she, the Rev. King and Clara Viard all sat down in
his room and started drinking Vodha and Gin drinks and the Rev. King
started telling about his ''juice" around the country, wlzich Gail siat..:d
was apJ;arently told to impress her on what a big man the Rev. King
was. After a short time drinking and bragging, the Rev. King called,
by phone, to another roO'Jnwhere as he said, "my partner is staying,
sleeping off a drunli", and spohe to "his partner", with the following
remarli, "don't call me a black son .of a bitch but get your.danzned
ass down to my room because I have a beautiful white broad here".
He then hung up_and told Gail that he, the partner, told him he would
be down pretty soon.
At this time both the Rev. King and Clara Viard stripped nalzed
and told Gail to do the same. Gail stated that she had anothe,· drink .!
and then stripped na!?ed and sat down on a chair. At this time, the i
Rev. King went down on his lm,ees and started nibbling on her right I
breast, while Clara Ward did the smne with her left breast. Gail
then stated, "I guess the Reverend got tired of that and put his head
down between my legs and started nibbling on "that". After a u:lzile
he got up and told Clara Viard to try so-rne of it, so Clara ivard zcent
down on Gail for awhile. Gail stated, "I thi,f?Clara Ward is queer".
(The understatement of the year).

Gail then stated that she was getting scared as they were pretty
drunli and all using filthy language and at last she told Clara Ward
she would have to go. Clara l1/ard then told King that as Gail had
to rehearse the following morning, they would have to leave. The
Rev. King then whispered in Gail's ear, "I would like to try you
sometfrne again if I could get you away from Clara". At this time
Gail and Clara left and had another drink at the bar in the Sands
beJore parting company.
Gail stated to this investigator that "that was the worst orgy
I've ever gone throug!z11 and added that a few days later Clara l-Vard
called her on the phone and asked her to come up to her, Clara's,
room for a few drinks later in the evening,_ which Gail stafed she
refused to do.
