Re: Interview with Jack Ruby
Sir:
On Decamber 1, 1963, Lieutenant Jack Revill and Lieutenant
F. E. Cornwall interviewed Jack Huby, presently confined in
the Dallas County Jail for the murder of L. H. Oswald. The
purpose of this interview was to determine how Ruby gained
access to the basement of the City Hall.
During the interview with Ruby it bacame apparent that he was
not going to cooperate in any way as he stated that he did
not want to get any police fficers in trouble and also any-
thing that he might tell us might be used against him in his
forthcoming trial for murder. He did state that he had sent
a $25.00 money order to a friend of his in Ft. Worth from the
Western Union Telegraph Company, 2034 Main, at 11:16 a.m. on
November 24, 1963. Upon questioning him as to how he gained
access to the basement of the City Hall, he became evasive
and refused to f'urnish that information. However, in answer
to a direct question as to whether he spoke to anyone in the
basement prior to the shooting he definitely stated, "No",
that he did not speak to anyone.
He did state that he would cooperate with the Police Department
if his attorney, Mr. Tom Howard would give him permission to do
so. Mr. Howard telephonically was contacted by Lieutenant
Cornwall and requested to come to the County Jail to sit in
on
the interview with his client, Ruby. Mr. Howard did 80 and
after discussing the matter with Huby in privacy, they both decided
that Ruhy would not give us the requested information.
Prior to the termination of this interview, both Attorney Howard
and Ruby stated that Ruby would be willing to submit to a poly-
graph examination; that they had made an attempt to get said
polygraph examination but that District Attorney Henry Wade
had refused.
