Summary:  
The document details FBI investigations into David L. Wilson, a white male born in Websturn, Tennessee, who was interviewed regarding potential connections to Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. Wilson denied recent trips to Memphis or Texas and stated he worked at a body shop in Phoenix for six months prior to the assassination. He claimed to have rented a car to visit his wife in Flagstaff, Arizona, and met Clarence Clark (phonetic) at Maggo's Night Club in Phoenix. Wilson described Clark as a former prison mate from Raiford, Florida, and stated Clark was heading to Denver after being dropped off in Flagstaff. During an interrogation, Wilson panicked during a taped phone call and refused further questioning, claiming the caller was an ex-con from Kansas City. He also alleged that James Earl Ray was not the original triggerman but had been framed, with the real killer still in Atlanta. Wilson later stated he had no knowledge of King's assassination or any plot by ex-cons to kill him. The FBI sought to verify Clark's identity and prison records, as well as investigate potential conspiracies involving ex-convicts. Additional documents reference fingerprint comparisons of James Earl Ray with bank robbery cases, the distribution of fugitive photos, and ongoing investigations into leads in Kansas City, Memphis, and other locations.
