Summary:  
The document contains statements from Robert E. Ritchey and Madeleine Smith regarding interactions with Saidallah Sirhan (also referred to as "Said," "Saio," or "Saidi") in Pasadena, California, between 1966 and 1968. Ritchey describes being approached by Sirhan, who claimed to possess a gun and bullets for protection. Sirhan allegedly stayed at Ritchey's apartment for two nights, displaying a black-handled chrome pistol. Ritchey notes Sirhan mentioned losing one bullet and searching for it. Later, Sirhan accused Ritchey of taking his gun and money after Robert Ritchey moved to Lake Ave. Brostment. Madeleine Smith’s statement references threats against Ritchey from Rosalie Faramilian's husband, with Sirhan staying to protect him. A criminalist report from the Los Angeles Police Department analyzes bullet evidence (two .38 caliber Special bullets) recovered in July 1968, concluding they were fired from the same weapon.
