The document contains fragmented records from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) regarding telephone calls and movements of individuals linked to CHARLES STEIN, RITA STEIN, and GALT between New Orleans, Louisiana, and Los Angeles, California, in late 1967 and early 1968. It includes details about phone numbers associated with these individuals, their residences, and interactions with others such as MARIE LEE and OZAMA BOVIA. References to "Doctor KING murder" appear in the text, likely referring to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., though no direct connection to the investigation is explicitly stated. The records also mention a warrant for the return of custody of children (KIM ROSAS and CHERYL ROSAS) and interactions with social services agencies.  

The document details multiple arrests and legal actions involving CHARLES JOSEPH STEIN in New Orleans, Louisiana, between 1953 and 1968. Stein was arrested for soliciting prostitution, possession of narcotics (barbiturates), and criminal conspiracy. Arrests occurred at locations including 4101 Stephen Gerard, 622 Arts Street, 1967 Royal Street, and 539 Elysian Fields Avenue. Records indicate he was associated with a prostitution ring, operated as a booking agent, and failed to renew his liquor license after 1955. In 1961, Stein was arrested at the Silver Frolic on Bourbon Street for soliciting prostitution. Legal proceedings included charges of pandering, possession of stolen property, and vagrancy, with some cases dismissed or resolved through motions for directed verdicts. The document also includes information about LINO ROSAS (a used car salesman) and his wife, CLOVINA OLONZO, who traveled to California in the late 1960s. Mrs. Olonzo’s daughter, RITA ROSAS (nee Stein), was mentioned as living with her mother in Los Angeles. A connection to GALT (possibly a person associated with Stein) is noted through witness accounts, including an encounter at Marie Lee’s residence where GALT was described as a white male in his thirties with a thin face and long nose. The FBI investigated these matters, and some records reference social security numbers (SSNs), which are redacted in the summary.  

The document details multiple FBI investigations related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK). It includes inquiries into James Earl Ray’s potential stay in New Orleans, Louisiana, during March 1968, with checks on motel and hotel registration records for that period. No evidence of Ray’s presence was found. The text also references CHARLES STEIN and ERIC GALT, noting their interactions in Los Angeles and New Orleans, including financial arrangements and alleged associations with illicit activities. Rita Batiste is mentioned as a woman whose name appeared in Stein’s 1963 New Orleans telephone book, though she denied any connection to the individuals. Investigations into a "fence" named COIN (likely DAN COHEN) and Delta Airlines Flight 725, which carried a weapon-labeled box, are also included.
