WOUNDED AND HARASSED<br />

He believed the harassments were intended to force him to turn over his<br />

laboratory notes to Felix Fraser <strong>and</strong> associates. He tested his theory the<br />

next workday. His family helped him to hobble to the laboratory before<br />

anyone arrived. Julius Noyes, his assistant at the time, arrived at 8 A.M.,<br />

greeted Henry, <strong>and</strong> went to work in the back room, while Henry did not<br />

move from behind his own desk. John Moray describes the incident:<br />

Later, Felix Fraser came in <strong>and</strong> rushed back to Julius Noyes. Shortly<br />

after, Fraser returned to the <strong>of</strong>fice <strong>and</strong> fussed around for a few minutes,<br />

looking at the floor. Then he came into my father's <strong>of</strong>fice <strong>and</strong> said,<br />

"Henry, why didn't you tell me you were shot" Immediately Dad asked<br />

him how he knew that he had been shot. Fraser said, "Oh, Julius told<br />

me." But my father had deliberately prevented Julius from knowing <strong>of</strong><br />

the shooting.<br />

From then on, trouble multiplied. Henry Moray refused to cooperate<br />

further with the REA. John recalls that people attacked his father's credibility.<br />

His family later discovered that more than a dozen <strong>of</strong> Henry's original<br />

patent applications had disappeared from the U.S. Patent Office,<br />

although the file jackets remained there. "The contents <strong>and</strong> applications<br />

themselves are gone ... Watergate was not the first great coverup <strong>and</strong> act<br />

<strong>of</strong> duplicity," John Moray wrote. Who stole the more-than-a-dozen patent<br />

applications John Moray says the question will probably remain unanswered.<br />

Over half a century after Henry Moray's discovery, his sons are still<br />

waiting for an investor who will fund the expensive development <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Moray device; engineering problems still have to be solved.<br />

Some researchers believe that T. Henry Moray's secrets died with him<br />

<strong>and</strong> that the family <strong>and</strong> associates would not be able to replicate his device<br />

even if they had funding. After all, a saboteur had destroyed the priceless<br />

parts <strong>of</strong> the Moray device. Moray's sons, however, reply that Henry had<br />

built an<strong>other</strong> working model which he later took apart, <strong>and</strong> that they<br />

inherited all his laboratory notes.<br />

John remembers the later model, <strong>and</strong> he describes a 1942 trip to the<br />

mountains <strong>of</strong> Colorado with his father <strong>and</strong> the device. Since it was during<br />

World War II, Henry had to scrape up enough gas rations for the round<br />

trip. He set up the experiment in a park <strong>and</strong> the unit performed smoothly.<br />

"Well," said their host, "If you leave it here <strong>and</strong> if my engineers like it,<br />

we'll decide if we want to buy it or not."<br />

This is what Moray ran into all the time, John maintained, "My dad<br />

said 'thanks but no thanks.'"
