Summary:  
The documents detail FBI fingerprint expert George Bonebrake’s involvement in the James Earl Ray case, including his testimony in England linking Ray to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination via latent fingerprints found at the scene. Bonebrake also participated in an advanced fingerprint training session in Wichita, Kansas, in September 1968, where he discussed the Ray case as part of instructional examples. Media representatives attended portions of the training but were excluded from closed sessions. A Wichita court issued a contempt citation against Bonebrake for alleged misconduct related to his testimony and interactions with the press. Separate records mention Frederick Alexander Michelson’s claims of knowledge about JFK and MLK assassinations, including his incarceration at Missouri State Penitentiary alongside James Earl Ray.
