[CN Editor -- I cannot vouch for the accuracy of *all* of the 
following. It may or may not be true, I just don't know. However 
I consider Skolnick to be an honest and careful investigator.]
 
[The following is a transcript of a recorded phone message put 
out by a group in Chicago called "Citizens' Committee to Clean Up 
the Courts [CCCC]." (312) 731-1100 and (312) 731-1505.]
 
Hi! Sherman Skolnick, Citizens' Committee to Clean Up the Courts, 
9800 South Oglesby.
 
What happens to judges who are independent-minded and *defy* the 
establishment? Well sometimes they are simply murdered!
 
Some examples:
 
In 1969, James Earl Ray (real name, Ryan) was pressured by his 
lawyers to plead guilty to killing Dr. Martin Luther King, jr. 
Ray's lawyers have promised him a lot of things, including large 
sums of money through the sale of a book. Later, Ray wrote to 
Memphis judge Preston Battle and requested permission to withdraw 
his guilty plea and stand trial, which would have opened up the 
whole conspiracy, including the mystery man, Raoul.
 
Under Tennessee law, it would have been *only* Judge Battle, as 
the sentencing judge, who would grant such a review. As he was 
considering the case, Judge Battle was found dead, laying over 
Ray's petition! Supposedly, "heart failure"! (We call *that* a 
"CIA heart attack".)
 
Ray spent *years* winding around the courts, trying to get a 
*trial*! Finally, in 1976, a three-judge federal appeals court 
panel was hearing the case. During the oral argument, federal 
appellate judge William E. Miller said *he* was in favor of 
forcing state authorities to re-open the Ray case. As he was 
later working on the decision, Judge Miller died -- supposedly a 
"heart attack". Then the other two judges issued a written 
opinion of the court rejecting Ray's appeal! They said Judge 
Miller, by then dead, had agreed with them before he died; we 
have only their word for it.
 
We believe both Judge Battle and Judge Miller were murdered at 
crucial points in the Ray case.
 
The Patty Hearst case went up for grabs because the trial judge, 
Oliver J. Carter, died of an alleged "heart attack" just before 
passing final sentence. Kept out of the trial was documentation 
showing the involvement of the CIA with the so-called "Symbionese 
Liberation Army", interwoven in the case. Instrumental in the 
cover-up were stories of *Chicago Tribune* reporter Ron 
Cosio(sp?), *linked* to the federal spy network.
 
Then there are some more recent examples of how judges were 
silenced.
 
Federal district judge Robert Aguilar of San Jose, California, is 
about the only Hispanic federal judge in the nation. In a case 
involving brutality against minorities, he ruled that the FBI and 
the Immigration Service are the American gestapo and act like the 
Nazis. When we heard his outspoken decision, we said to 
ourselves, "Oh-oh. They're gonna shut him up by frame-up or 
political assassination!" Sure enough, shortly after, he was 
indicted on a series of frame-ups. He apparently is on the way to 
jail.
 
Nevada federal district judge Harry Claybourne(sp?) publicly 
pronounced that the Justice Department's strike force there 
operates like the gangsters and you can't tell one from the 
other. Claybourne was removed from the bench by a federal frame- 
up and a rigged impeachment in Congress.
 
Federal district judge Al C. Hastings of Florida, a black, was a 
strong voice for Constitutional rights and vigorously opposed the 
FBI -- the American gestapo. He was one of the *few* black 
federal judges. Through a slanted Congress and the whores of the 
press, Judge Hastings was removed by impeachment by the Senate.
 
In Chicago, most of the federal judges here are *multi*, multi- 
millionaires -- bankers and speculators.
 
[Addendum:] Through heroic efforts, Judge Aguilar was able to 
beat the rap. [CN -- see above, re: Judge Aguilar]
 
And what can you do? Well, call up your favorite news-fakers, 
whether in broadcasting or in the print media and tell them to 
stop kidding us about the death of judges and about the murder of 
reporters. [CN -- e.g. write to realitycheck@cbsnews.com]
