- PAT ASHWAY, employed by the Joliet Awning Company, described an unidentified white male resembling ERIC STARVO GALT, observed near Edmon Brothers General Hauling operations in Joliet, Illinois. The individual was noted to be approximately 30 years old, with physical descriptions including height and eye color.  
- A separate file details a 1955 burglary at the United States Post Office in Kellerville, Illinois, involving stolen postal money orders. Names like JAMES WALTON, WALTER P. BERRY, and JAMES EARL RAY are linked to cashing forged money orders. James Earl Ray was sentenced to 3 3/4 years for forgery and fraud, while another individual (possibly RIFE) received a three-year sentence.
