Summary  
The document details FBI investigations into potential connections to Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, including forensic analysis of firearms, phone call tracking, and financial record checks. A .243 Winchester rifle sold to Harvey Loweyer on 3-30-68 was examined by the Birmingham FBI Laboratory, which determined it had not been fired and compared its telescope sight mount to evidence from Memphis. The recovery of a Remington rifle (Serial Number 461476) in Memphis post-assassination is linked to Aeromarine Supply Company. Investigations involved checking phone directories, license plate registrations, airline passenger lists, and cash register receipts from LIGGETT-REXALL chain stores. A laundry mark inquiry targeted dry cleaners in New Jersey, with Bond Dry Cleaning Co. and Barclay Cleaners stating they did not service items with specific marks. Legal proceedings involving H. Rap Brown, Stokely Carmichael, and others are referenced, including bond revocations and court hearings. A teletype from April 5, 1968, notes Charles Waddell Wilson in Cedar Town, Georgia, allegedly planned MLK's murder with payment of $4,000 (Wilson receiving $1,000), traced to a payphone in Cedar Town, GA, with operator suspicion of Sherman Sanders. The House Select Committee on Assassinations is referenced alongside FBI internal documentation and classification under Executive Order 14176.
