Freemon, Eduardo Marroqui, Roberto Wong, Luis Garcia, Romimir Biscara, Eleno Guamán García, Elisa Arelanelo Torres, Manuela Aguirre Medrano, Leopoldo Cisneros, and others. The FBI notes Galt’s association with the Hotel Rio in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico, where he stayed from October 19 to November 5, 1967, and interactions with witnesses including Eduardo Marroqui, Roberto Wong, Luis Garcia, Romimir Biscara, Eleno Guamán García, Elisa Arelanelo Torres, Manuela Aguirre Medrano, and Leopoldo Cisneros. Legal actions in Shelby County, Tennessee, reference contempt orders against Arthur J. Hanes Sr., Renfro T. Hayes, Roy Hamilton, and Charles Edmundson for violating court rulings. James Earl Ray is identified as a defendant in criminal proceedings with aliases "Starvo Galt" and "John Willard." The FBI notes plans by legal representatives to review evidence in Washington, D.C., and adjust travel to Mexico City after completing interviews in Los Angeles. A separate summary references Ray’s letters to his brother Jerry Ray and others, discussing contempt hearings involving Judge W. Preston Battle, where Hanes, T. Hays, Charles Edmundson, and Roy Hamilton were found guilty of court contempt. The FBI Memphis office conducted handwriting analysis on letters from Ray to Judge Battle and other legal documents. Pre-trial conferences in Atlanta and Los Angeles involved FBI agents, with potential witnesses listed. A motion filed by Hanes was dismissed by Judge Battle, except for privileged communications between Ray and his attorney. The text also notes the murder of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., referencing a difference of opinion between Ray and his attorney regarding legal representation at trial.
