The communal bathroom in a former rooming house, seen here in a Sept. 24, 2002, file photo, where confessed assasin James Earl Ray shot Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., on April 4, 1968, is part of the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tenn. Ray admitted shooting King from the small bathroom window across from the Loraine Motel. A Memphis judge who was a leader in getting the museum built obtained the original bathtub when parts of the former rooming house were being renovated in 1983. He's offering it for sale on eBay for $150,000. The bathtub seen here in the musuem is similar to the one being put up for auction. (KEYSTONE/AP Photo by Greg Campbell)
