Summary  
The document contains FBI teletype messages dated June 6, 1968, detailing investigations into James Earl Ray's movements following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Ray is reported to have resided in Canada under aliases "Paul Bridgeman" and "Ramon George Sneyd" from April 1968 to May 1968. He departed Canada for London, England, using a Canadian passport with the surname "Sneyd." The FBI advises border authorities to monitor individuals using the name "Ramon Gorge Sneyo" and notes no direct connection between Sneyd and King's assassination. Ray is sought for unlawful flight and charges of robbery.
