Summary  
The document contains FBI records from April 1968 detailing investigations into individuals potentially linked to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. The inquiry focused on names such as HARVEY LOWEYER/LOHMEYER, A.J. CONSOLINO, KENNETH E. HUNT, JIMMIE GARNER, ERIC STARVO GALT, KARL GALT, and JEROME WALLIS VERNON, with checks spanning Missouri counties (Stoddard, Butler, Dunklin, Pemiscot, Ripley, Carter, Wayne) and St. Louis. Investigations included county sheriff offices, police departments, military personnel records, voter registration databases, barge line companies, and Memphis motel registrations. No records were found for most names, though some individuals had limited historical data, including military service (e.g., JIMMIE GARNER, Army Serial Number) and disciplinary actions (1942–1945). The examination of a Browning High Power Rifle with serial number 444425 was noted, along with attempts to trace its ownership through Browning Arms Company records. Administrative notes reference declassification under Executive Order 14176.
