Summary: The document contains a fragmented cable report from April 1968 regarding Panamanian authorities detaining two Americans suspected of involvement in the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The individuals, identified as Douglas Hulbald and Larry's address (possibly a typo), were traveling via Panama Canal Highway from San Jose to Panama City. Panamanian officials allege they were tipped off by Costa Rican authorities about their connection to the assassination. The report includes passport details for Douglas Hulbald (passport number 339626) and mentions a Chevrolet vehicle with license plate 23GHIST. It also notes discrepancies in passport records, including a woman’s travel through El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama without evidence of Costa Rican transit. The text contains illegible or garbled sections, including repeated phrases like "PATILER" and "PENTAL," likely due to formatting errors or redaction.
