Summary  
The documents detail FBI investigations into Eric Starvo Galt, also known as Harvey Lowmery and John Willard, who was suspected of involvement in the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. The FBI identified Galt as a fugitive linked to the conspiracy, noting he allegedly purchased a 30.06 rifle with a telescopic sight in Birmingham, Alabama, on March 30, 1968, and later abandoned his 1966 white Mustang with Alabama license plates in Atlanta, Georgia, on April 11, 1968. The rifle was found near the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis. Galt’s movements between 1967 and 1968 included travel to Los Angeles, New Orleans, Atlanta, and Mexico, with his activities coinciding with Dr. King’s final days. The FBI coordinated with media outlets in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to disseminate press releases and photographs of Galt, including luggage marked “GALT” observed at Greyhound Bus Depot on April 17, 1968. A red Chevrolet convertible with Alabama license plates was investigated but no definitive link to Galt was established. Attorney General Ramsey Clark announced federal charges against Galt for conspiring to violate Dr. King’s civil rights.
