</s>Attorneys Carousel Ramsey Clark, 3 I do not keep the world's best records but if you should like to look at my Alabama mailing list, I could type the names and addresses off the cards and send them to you. I think there are a couple in Birmingham. My book is pretty much in disarray; one gets discouraged after three years. But if looking at it would end with any light. It's about 400,000 words. together. However, as you can coo, I am wordy. It could shuffle the chapters I will be at the Post Thursday and Friday, I think, but the address and phone number on the letterboard are my residenceo, where I do my other work. I wish you the very best of luck in your investigation. Sincerely yours, al/ml (Mrs.) Albona London Editor-Publishers Lonax Poll and Trib una P. S.I. If you should have anyone from the local office of the FBI contact me, would you have thom ph no first? 2025 RELEASE UNDER E.O. 14176

Summary:  
The documents detail law enforcement efforts in 1968-1969 related to tracking individuals suspected of involvement in threats against Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK). On April 22, 1969, Eugene R. Roszyk reported seeing a man resembling James Earl Ray at a restaurant in New York, driving a light gray 1964–1965 Ford with Florida license plate #69100. Agencies including the New York State Police and local sheriffs failed to locate the vehicle. Later reports reference Joseph Clayton Montagne, a suspect linked to New Orleans, who was investigated for potential ties to MLK’s assassination. Montagne was described as white, 35 years old, with blonde hair and a stutter, and associated with the Music Box Lounge in New Orleans. The FBI coordinated with divisions (e.g., Memphis, Mobile, St. Louis) to verify his identity and check criminal records, including potential links to Michigan. Robert Boshers (phonetic BOSSIER), a man with a history of incarceration in Michigan and Missouri, was also scrutinized for possible connections to MLK’s assassination. The documents note that some individuals were flagged as "armed and dangerous" and referenced ongoing investigations into their past activities, including alleged ties to James Earl Ray.
