</s>AT 44-2386 AGS/th 1 A xerox copy of the above mentioned laundry and dry cleaning slip is set forth in Appendix B. 44 2025 RELEASE UNDER E.O. 14176

Summary:  
The document details an FBI investigation into Eric Stazno Calt (GALT), a white male described as 32–35 years old, 5'11", 190 pounds, with dark hair and blue eyes. GALT resided at 107-14th Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia, from April 5–7, 1968, paying $10.50 for lodging. Landlord Jimmie Delton Garner (GARNER) reported beer bottles in his room and noted discrepancies in registration records, suggesting possible use of alternate names such as "Lee." Mail addressed to GALT, including correspondence from his sister Robbie Karnner and a postcard dated April 6, 1968, was identified. The document links GALT to the Dixieland area and tentatively identifies him as a suspect in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s murder due to mail and location ties, though no direct evidence of involvement is provided. Subsequent FBI efforts included searching GALT’s room at 113-14th Street, N.E., where items such as a John Birch Society booklet, maps of Atlanta, food products, a knife, and a television were recovered. These items were transported to the FBI Laboratory in Washington, D.C., via Delta Airlines Flight 338 on April 15, 1968. Record checks across multiple agencies yielded no connections to GALT or related activities.
