Francious Pelou
I am a reporter with AFP - 50 Rockefeller Plasa, New York - PL 7-6712. This is
a group of French and National Press. I arrived in Dallas Friday night,
November 22, 1963, following the assassination of President Kennedy. I arrived
at the City Hall and attended the interview of Oswald in the basement late that
night. I have been asked if I know Jack luby. I recall Ike Pappas, another
reporter from New York, referring to a person that had brought sandwiches to the
press as Jack. I later understood this to be Jack Ruby. To my knowledge I
did not see this person Saturday. Sunday morning, November 24, 1963, I entered
the basement of the City Hall and was thoroughly checked for my press credentials.
At the time of the shooting I was standing on the East side of the ramp with the
two live-TV camoras to my right. I observed Oswald as he was being taken from
the Jail Office. I took notice when he turned his head to the left. I also
turned and looked in the same direction as Oswald looked and found the person who
I now know to be Jack Ruby as he lunged from the crowd and shot Oswald. I carried
this story as a lead in my paper that Oswald saw his killer before anyone else.
