Summary  
The document contains fragmented records of FBI investigations into potential threats or connections related to Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in 1968. It includes interviews with individuals named John Ray (various spellings) conducted between April 10–16, 1968, and inquiries into a Browning High Power Rifle serial number (444245). The investigation spans multiple Missouri locations, including St. Louis, Cape Girardeau, Rolla, Jefferson County, and St. Charles County, with efforts to trace individuals, verify records, and cross-reference addresses, licenses, and firearm data. References to liquor licenses, taverns, and credit bureau checks suggest broader investigative activities. The absence of records for names like "Harvey Lowyer" across jurisdictions indicates inconclusive findings on certain leads. Separate records detail FBI searches for individuals with names such as LOWEYER, LOHMEYER, HUNT, GARNER, and GALT in Missouri and Mississippi counties, including checks of voter registration, credit bureau data, military personnel files, and license plate information. Investigations into KENNETH E. HUNT included verification of a Missouri license plate (KHL-18) linked to a 1963 Volkswagen and later transferred to a 1968 Rambler Javelin. For JIMMIE DELTON GARNER, military service records from the U.S. Army showed honorable discharge in 1945 after disciplinary actions for misconduct during his service. ERIC STARVO GALT and KARL GALT were checked for addresses and financial records, with no matches found for 2515 Lafayette Street, St. Louis. Additional records detail investigations into the Galt family’s connections in St. Louis, Missouri, including police inquiries into Warren M. Galt, Homer Galt, and Paula Simone Gala’s immigration file transferred to Miami, Florida, in November 1967. The Commercial Credit Rating Company’s files (3333 Lindell Boulevard) were examined on April 10, 1968, with no derogatory information found. A redacted Social Security Number is noted in the text but not disclosed.
