Summary: The documents detail FBI investigations into James Earl Ray and Charles Calvin Bookman, focusing on Ray's alleged connections to Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. Key elements include Ray's military service records (Company B, 382nd Battalion), employment history in shoe manufacturing, and a boarding house previously operated by his mother. The FBI sought to locate Bookman, an associate of Ray, who claimed to have interacted with Ray in San Pedro, California, in April 1968. Bookman's statements about Ray's activities, including alleged ties to the Mississippi River steamboat and Biloxi, Gulfport area, are noted. The FBI also investigated Bookman's medical history, including alcoholism treatment and multiple hospitalizations. References to a "color matcher" description of Ray and his alleged involvement in criminal activity (e.g., bank robberies) are included. The documents mention efforts to verify Ray's whereabouts through phone calls, photographs, and records, with some individuals (e.g., George McDonald) being checked for resemblance to Ray.
