Mr. J. D. Curry
November 27, 1963
Chicf of Police
Subject: Jack Ruby
Sir:
On Sunday November 24, 1963, I was assigned to down stairs Jail
Office by lt. Wiggins. I had instructions to stay by the phone
and to advise the dispatcher when Oswald had been loaded into
armor car and was in route to County Jail.
I did not know Jack Ruby personally nor would I have known him
if I had seen him, but I have heard his name before as owning a
night club.
I did not see the shooting, but I was looking out glass in door to
see when he was loaded into armored car. There was a shot and
a scuffle and Lt. Wiggins said Oswald was shot and to call a
doctor. I then called dispatcher for a doctor.
I
did not see Jack Ruby in the basement until after the shooting
when dectives brought him into Jail Office under arrest.
Respectfully submitted
