Summary:  
The documents detail RCMP investigations into James Earl Ray’s alleged connections to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., focusing on his movements in Canada and the U.S. Andrew Salyn, a Montreal-based informant, sought information on Ray’s residence at 3240 St-Germain Street and his activities, including long-distance calls from New Orleans. Witnesses like Matthew reported Ray’s stay at a rooming house on St-Fermin Street. Legal procedures involving notary Andre Coullie were noted, alongside RCMP coordination with the Toronto Star for media coverage. The investigation also explored ties between Ray and KIMBLE, linked to Dr. King’s assassination. Separate documents outline U.S.-British extradition efforts for Ray, including FBI planning for his transfer via military aircraft from Lakenheath RAF to Memphis, Tennessee, under a Presidential warrant. Delays were caused by administrative challenges, including the Hawaiian Conference. A separate incident involved Frank A. Minnick’s arrest in Memphis for impersonating a government agent, though no prosecution followed due to insufficient evidence. Security measures at Shelby County Jail and logistical coordination with the Air Force were highlighted.
