Summary:  
The documents detail FBI investigative reports from 1968 concerning individuals suspected of identity fraud and potential connections to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK). The primary focus is on Jack Hargog, a man suspected of being a look-alike for James Earl Ray, the primary suspect in MLK's assassination. The FBI sought information on Hargog’s residence in Spearfish, North Dakota, and his potential ties to Boeing Company records. Investigations included verifying his identity through neighbors in Cheyenne, Wyoming, who reported a son named Jack Herzog but noted he did not resemble James Earl Ray. The FBI requested the Seattle office to check Boeing records for employees moving from Cheyenne to military installations. A transportation receipt signed by "Carl RAV" was forwarded to the FBI Laboratory for handwriting comparison with James Earl Ray’s known writing. Additional telegrams confirmed that a Jack Herzog in Cheyenne was not identical to James Earl Ray and was described as armed and dangerous. The documents also mention unrelated inquiries into a motel in Denver linked to Quincy, Illinois, and telephone number discrepancies.
