Summary  
The documents detail FBI investigative activities in April 1968, focusing on locating individuals associated with a murder investigation. Special Agents Donald P. Burgess and others conducted searches at rooming houses in Atlanta, Georgia, recovering items such as keys, metal strips, and business cards linked to "HANEY'S SHEET METAL." Efforts were made to identify Eric Starvo Galt, described as a suspect in a murder case involving a victim shot, with a federal warrant issued for his arrest. Agents interviewed residents and businesses in Atlanta and Wallingford, Connecticut, seeking information on Galt’s whereabouts. James P. Riordan, a former roomer at the 113 14th Street address, was also investigated for employment history and potential connections to the case. A separate document contains an FBI wanted flyer for Eric Starvo Galt (FBI No. 405,942), describing him as a 36-year-old white male with blue or hazel eyes, medium build, and a protruding left ear. The flyer charges him with conspiring to interfere with civil rights under Title 18, U.S. Code § 241 in connection with a murder involving shooting. A federal warrant was issued on April 17, 1968, in Birmingham, Alabama.
