Woman writes of affair with King in autobiography LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) A former Kentucky state senator says she had a year-long affair with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and was with him at the Lorraine Motel the night before he was assassinated there.

Georgia Powers discussed the relationship in her new autobiography, "I Shared the Dream," and in an interview in today's Courier-Journal newspaper. The Rev. Ralph Abernathy, King's lieutenant in the civil rights movement, created a furor five years ago when he suggested in his memoirs that King cheated on his wife. Abernathy also wrote of a liaison King had the night before he was killed with "a black woman a member of the Kentucky Legislature," but he did not name her. The book was widely criticized by other civil rights activists, although there had been previous reports allegedly originated by the FBI that King had affairs.

Powers is apparently the first woman to say she had an affair with King. relationship between Martin Luther King Jr. and I began with mutual admiration," she wrote. our attachment grew stronger until it passed beyond camaraderie into intimacy." An assistant for King's widow, Coretta Scott King, said she was out of the country and unavailable for comment. In 1967, Powers became the first black person elected to the state senate.

Her relationship with King began in March of that same year, TRAVEL BUYS CASTAWAY Route 1, Litchfield Square, Wells 646-3203 LAS VEGAS Round Trip Air Hotel Transfers From $350.00 646-3203 or 1-800-660-0475 De Boer Travel Inc. 129 Main Sanford, ME (207) 324-1443 Virginia M.

They had met three years earlier at a Louisville civil rights march. Powers does not say how often she and King were together, but indicates an intermediary routinely asked her to meet King.

She wrote that she and King were careful to keep their relationship secret, and that she faltered only when he was shot on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tenn. "When they put Dr. King into the ambulance, I instinctively began climbing in to go with him. Andy Young gently pulled me back. 'No, he said, 'I don't think you want to do that." Young, who would later become the U.S.

ambassador to the United Nations and Atlanta mayor, was among those working with King in the civil rights movement. He did not return a telephone call seeking comment. Powers writes that she went to see Mrs. King two days after the assassination: "As I took Coretta's hand, I said, 'I'm Sorry for what? I was sorry she had lost her husband; I was sorry the world had lost a savior, and, on some level, I think I was also apologizing for my relationship with her husband."
