Dec. 20,1966
"Coincidences" re Jack Ruby:
1. Ruby in New Orleans:
Ruby visited New or leans in June, 1963, to obtain
the services of "Jada" as his featured performer (WCR -
PB p. 703) This was about 5 months before the assassina-
tion and during the period Oswald was also here and
active with his FPCC (oswald was arrested August 9 and
interviewed by Lt. Francis Martello, N.O.P.D. This
report should be obtained) . The WCR also mentions Ruby's
fondness for horse-racing (WCR - PB p. 707) and its possible
he visited here during the racing season.
2. Ruby's Timing re Oswald Death:
All news media reported that Oswald would be moved
from the Dallas Jail at 10:00 A. M. on November 24 (Sunday)
.
All reporters and TV cameras consequently arrived at 10:00
A. M. Ruby says he decided Sunday morning to kill
Oswald, but didn't leave his apartment until just before
11:00 A. M. and proceeded to the jail. He arrived in the
basement at approximately 11:19 or 11:20 A. M. Oswald
was brought out at 11:21 A. M. and was shot by Ruby.
(WCR - PB p. 332)
Point: Ruby evidently knew precisely when
Oswald would be moved. Also, there is some doubt as to
how he gained entry to the basement (credentials were re-
quired to be shown at all entrances)
3.
Ruby and FPCC:
Ruby visited police headquarters on Friday evening
where he viewed Oswald with reporters. Then, at a
press conference with D.A. Wade, the D.A said that
Oswald belonged to the "Free Cuba Committee", whereupon
Ruby and several reporters corrected Wade saying that
it was the "Fair Play for Cuba Committee"
(WCR-PB. p.318)
4. Ruby Comment on President's Assassination:
Ruby heard of the assassination at the offices
of the Dallas Morning News. He called his sister, Eva
Grant, and then made the remark to John Newman, a
newspaper employee, "John, I will have to leave Dallas."
He admits this and gives a weak explanation. (WCR - PB
p.313).
