(26) Nov. 26, 1963 FBI interview of Herbert Kelly, Ruby FBI files serial 634, p. 551.

In a similar vein Gerry Redin, a stripper, told the FBI that Ruby would provide officers with drinks and "perhaps as a result of this, the Dallas police never bothered Ruby when he held stag parties." Ruby FBI files serial 890, p. 179. Jerry Biesel, a Dallas attorney, told the Committee that Ruby, as well as other nightclub operators, would give small gifts to officers so they would be protected in the event they were caught serving drunks. Biesel never heard of any regular money payments. Interview of Biesel, May 4, 1978, House Select Committee on Assassinations. p. 2 (JFK Document 008956). (34) Documentation may be impossible to obtain as officers would be unlikely to admit taking payoffs.

(38) Jack Revill. who was assigned to the Intelligence Section of the DPD in the early 1960's, stated that each police section had its own informant files (unrecorded interview of Revill, Sent. 25. 1978. House Select Committee on Assassinations). Revill therefore could state that Ruby was not an informant for the intelligence division. but did not know about other sections. Testimony of Jack Revill, Sept. 26, 1978.

(40) Interview of Sawyer, May 2.4, 1978, House Select Committee on Assassi- nations, p. 5 (JFK Document 009416). The distinction drawn seems to be between A.source and informant. Sawyer noted that only the particular officer involved would know if Ruby was a source, as no official records of this would be kept by the department.
(41) See ref. 39, p. 3. Ruby's predisposition toward providing information to law enforcement officials extended elsewhere, as he was at one time a PCI (potential criminal informant) for the FBI, although this did not work out. (See JFK Document 003040). Ruby also offered, and gave information (albeit worthless), to the Kefauver Committee in the late 1950's. See interview of Luis Kutner, April 15, 1978, House Select Committee on Assassinations (JFK Document 008232).

Yet it has also been stated that Ruby was afraid of Gilmore, since he was the officer most likely to close down the club or reprimand Ruby.

(231) Griffin was also intrigued by a news article in a Dallas paper which included details from an interview which Dean gave sometime shortly after 12:15 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 24, 1963, to David Hughes of the Dallas Times Herald, in which Dean stated that Ruby came down the Main Street ramp. CE2002, 34 Warren Hearings, 113. Yet Dean may not have relayed this information to his superiors. Why, asks Griffin, did Dean find more urgency in disclosing this information to the press? See Warren Commission memorandum from Griffin to Rankin, Mar. 30, 1964, p 4. (JFK Document 000882).
(232) Sorrels also encountered initial difficulties in gaining Ruby's favor; he brought up the name of a Jewish businessman to overcome this problem. See Secret Service Report, Feb. 3, 1964, interview of Ruby by Sorrels, Nov. 24, 1963, Exhibit 121 Warren Hearings, 536, 537.

(236) Why didn't Ruby identify this patrolman as Roy Vaughn? He identified Pierce, and may have known Vaughn, as Vaughn had admitted knowing Ruby. See refs. 106-109 and accompanying text. While it seems implausible that Ruby would not know an officer's name if the officer knew him, Ruby stated once that he didn't know Vaughn "by name."

(237) The Warren Commission determined the distance between the Main Street ramp entrance and the Western Union building to be 350 feet. Warren Report, p. 219. Even from the Western Union building itself, it may have not been difficult to see the activities at the ramp entrance.

When asked why he went to the third floor, Dean testified that he was going to see if Ruby was in Captain Fritz' office or in the jail. Then Griffin asked Dean why he wished to see Ruby. His response concerned media interviews. Similarly, Dean has not offered a plausible explanation for his visit to Parkland Hospital following the fifth floor visit. Dean testimony, 433-34.

(Holly Exhibit 5110, 20 Warren Hearings, 169), and he told the Warren Commission that he knew Ruby and did business with him. (Holly testimony, Mar. 26, 1964. 12 Warren Hearings, 262).

(271) An even more secluded route exists. If Ruby had turned to his right after leaving Western Union, walked away from the Main Street ramp, and turned right at the corner onto Central Expressway, a second alley, perpendicular to the first, would lead right to the door of the municipal building. See ref. 38, Revill testimony, P. 135.

Riggs used a key taken from inside one of the service elevators, where a key to the alleyway door was always kept hanging (id. at Riggs, 144, 170). Apparently Riggs then took the key and kept it until after the shooting (id. at p. 173-174). There is no evidence that the key on the elevator was the only key which opened the alley door. Riggs stated that he normally had his own key to this door (id. at p. 174). (287) Interview of Westbrook. June 8. 1978, House Select Committee on Assas- sinations, p. 3 (JFK Document 009735).

(302) The timing sequence referred to is the 4-minute lapse between the Western Union time-stamp of Ruby's money order and the shooting of Oswald, ibid., pp. 219, 221. In his committee public hearing appearance, Revill raised the possibility of a longer time span in commenting on the DPD special unit investigation of this lapse: "I personally conducted this investigation, Lieutenant McCaghren and I. We A. re basing the times on the statement of the Western Union employee who says that Ruby sent this wire at 11:16, and this is verified by a date-time stamp. In talking to this individual, McCaghren and I questioned him as to whether or not he actually date-time stamped it automatically or immediately. He said, yes, he did because that was procedure. But that doubt was always in my m'ind. It is possible that there was some time lapse in there that maybe he didn't do this at the time because this was part of the procedure, yes, he said be did it. So who knows?" See ref. 38, Revill, House Select Committee on Assassinations, p. 587. If more time had elapsed, more routes would be logistically possible. (303) This is a Warren Commission label.

(963) See ref. 898, Palmer testimony, p. 213. Abe Weinstein told the Committee that AGVA never said a word to him about amateur nights. See ref. 898, Weinstein deposition, pp. 26 and 69. This seems unlikely in light of the overall situation, and, further, Palmer told the Warren Commission that as a result of the November 13 letter, Abe Weinstein suspended his amateur nights and Barney Weinstein indicated that he was going to relinquish his AGVA affiliation.
(964) Ibid., Palmer testimony, p. 213. The letter read: "Dear Jack: I don't know why you have to prove to me that business is not too good in your place. I never doubted your word. However, Mr. Irving Mazzei and Tom Palmer are handling your situation and they will not do anything to hurt you. This is the story, that there are rules and regulations, and we have to adhere to the rules and regulations. Nobody is trying to hurt anyone and we, particularly don't want to hurt anyone who hires our people. I am sure you will come to an equitable understanding with Mr. Palmer and Mr. Mazzei."

(971) One prime example of this concerns a 1953 incident wherein Ruby was in the office of AGVA branch manager, Vincent Lee. Ruby wanted the union to provide women for his club and believed that the union was not cooperating. He became incensed and began to threaten Lee, saying that he carried a gun. Other disagreements of this sort punctuated Ruby's relationship with Lee when the latter was Dallas branch manager in the 1950's. See FBI interview with Lee, Dec. 20, 1963, Ruby FBI files serial 890, p. 56. On another occasion, Ruby had an altercation with Norman E. Wright, an entertainer and member of AGVA's national board, which was precipitated by Ruby's feelings of discrimination A. gainst him by AGVA. See ref. 910, Wright testimony, PP. 248-251; and Powell testimony, 15 Warren Hearings, 412-413; Ruby FBI files, serial 634, p. 826.

(978) See ref. 902, Palmer deposition, p. 27. James Henry Dolan may serve as an apt illustration of these sorts of allegations. Dolan was branch manager in Dallas from 1957-60. He also had an extensive criminal record, organized crime associations, and had been linked with robbery, gambling and bookmaking in Dallas and other areas. See "V. F. Profiles of Jack Ruby Associates," James Henry Dolan, para. 924. Dolan is the only Dallas branch manager who has said that Ruby always abided by union regulations. Ruby FBI files, serial 810, p. 141.

(981) Id. at p. 25. Ruby was always jealous of the Weinstein's clubs and their success. He also felt that the Weinsteins controlled the theatrical bookings in Dallas and prevented him from obtaining acts in terms of quantity and quality.

(993) FBI interview with Lillian McCardell. Ruby FBI files, serial 634, P. 463, CE1513, 23 Warren Hearings, 16. A combination of an altercation and contract problems occurred in the early 1960s when Breck Wall and Joe Peterson, while under coatfact at the Sovereign Club (predecessor to the Carousel), received A. n offer to do a one-night convention show for about $2,200. Ruby refused to release the two entertainers from their contract, but arranged with the AGVA branch manager (Dolan) to have them perform under Ruby's sponsorship. Wall and Peterson never received any money for their show, and Wall believed that Ruby and Dolan split the $2,200. When an argument ensued, Ruby punched Peterson and broke one of his teeth. See Wall testimony, 14 Warren Hearings, pp. 601-602, Ruby files, serial 810, p. 242.
