Steve Thomas Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Group 1 is the transcript of the interrogation of various police officers (Graves, Archer, Clardy, McMillan, etc) at Ruby's trial relative to the facts and circumstances surrounding Oswald's murder by Ruby. In several of the PDF's (PDF 4, %a, and another one), half of the PDF's are posted upside down.Group 2 appears to be more of the same. The first 3 pdf files were all posted upside down. You have to save them to your hard drive, and then using Adobe, rotate them. I had to laugh. At one point Belli is arguing with Judge Brown on the statements given by police officers. The defense has not been allowed to see them. Finally, Ass't DA William Alexander introduces one as state's evidence, but it is a photostatic copy and Belli hasn't had the chance to examine it to see if it is authentic. Belli says' "Judge, these may be as valid as a Chinese laundry ticket, as far as I know." He demands to see the originals. He is refused. Belli asks, "Are we back in the Middle Ages, Judge, that we can't see the original of a document?" The Court: "Yes, Sir." Steve Thomas I had skipped Groups 3 - 9 in the first go round, so I thought I'd go back and pick them up here: Group 6 pdfs 51 - 55. These pdfs revolve around Wade's participation in the making of a movie called "Countdown in Dallas" in 1967. The movie was going to be produced by Robert Larsen Productions in Colorado Springs, CO They were going to create a seperate company called Flag-Star, Inc. The movie was going to be a documentary, but it was also supposed to bolster the image of Dallas, TX in the eyes of the world. Wade, Curry and Robert Denson had agreed to open their personal, confidential, and public files and records. Wade was going to get $20,000 plus 20% of the producer's gross. Curry was going to get $10,000 and 10% of the gross. Denson was going to get $5,000 and 5% of the gross. Robert Denson was a private eye and the Chief Investigator for the defense during Ruby's trial. There were newspaper articles in the LA Times and NY Times on this movie at the time. Roy Truly wanted $2,000 to act in the movie and another $5,000 for use of the TSBD. Negotiations started around April of 1967, but the project appears to have fizzled by October. There are budgets for the movie project and anticipated rates of returns for investors. Together, Wade, Curry and Denson were projected to receive $255,000. There are some letters to Wade written by people who read about the project in the papers. Some are not very complimentary. pdfs 55 - 56.

The movie was going to be a documentary, but it was also supposed to bolster the image of Dallas, TX in the eyes of the world. Wade, Curry and Robert Denson had agreed to open their personal, confidential, and public files and records. Wade was going to get $20,000 plus 20% of the producer's gross. Curry was going to get $10,000 and 10% of the gross. Denson was going to get $5,000 and 5% of the gross. Robert Denson was a private eye and the Chief Investigator for the defense during Ruby's trial. There were newspaper articles in the LA Times and NY Times on this movie at the time. Roy Truly wanted $2,000 to act in the movie and another $5,000 for use of the TSBD. Negotiations started around April of 1967, but the project appears to have fizzled by October. There are budgets for the movie project and anticipated rates of returns for investors. Together, Wade, Curry and Denson were projected to receive $255,000.

Steve Thomas Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Group 1 is the transcript of the interrogation of various police officers (Graves, Archer, Clardy, McMillan, etc) at Ruby's trial relative to the facts and circumstances surrounding Oswald's murder by Ruby. In several of the PDF's (PDF 4, %a, and another one), half of the PDF's are posted upside down.Group 2 appears to be more of the same. The first 3 pdf files were all posted upside down. You have to save them to your hard drive, and then using Adobe, rotate them. I had to laugh. At one point Belli is arguing with Judge Brown on the statements given by police officers. The defense has not been allowed to see them. Finally, Ass't DA William Alexander introduces one as state's evidence, but it is a photostatic copy and Belli hasn't had the chance to examine it to see if it is authentic. Belli says' "Judge, these may be as valid as a Chinese laundry ticket, as far as I know." He demands to see the originals. He is refused. Belli asks, "Are we back in the Middle Ages, Judge, that we can't see the original of a document?" The Court: "Yes, Sir." I had skipped Groups 3 - 9 in the first go round, so I thought I'd go back and pick them up here: Group 6 pdfs 51 - 55.

The two things that surprised me was the statements by three people associated with WBAP-TV who said that they saw and spoke with Ruby on Commerce St. in downtown Dallas between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM on November 24, 1963. This runs counter to what we have been told of Ruby's activities on that day. See Group 44, pdf 2108. The other thing that surprised me is that Dealey Plaza grounds keeper, Emmett Hudson apparently knew Lee Harvey Oswald. See Group 45, pdf 2127. I hope you have found these document breakdowns useful.

This runs counter to what we have been told of Ruby's activities on that day. See Group 44, pdf 2108. The other thing that surprised me is that Dealey Plaza grounds keeper, Emmett Hudson apparently knew Lee Harvey Oswald. See Group 45, pdf 2127. I hope you have found these document breakdowns useful. Steve Thomas I want to thank you for doing this, because it is so extremely important. I am re-reading what I consider to be perhaps the best single early era book on Jack Ruby, - Jack Ruby by Garry Wills/Ovid DeMaris. It is a remarkable book and is obviously intertwined with some of the material you are looking at. I do not doubt you will find many more irregularities....Hat's off to you, and there are a lot of people watching your work in this area with much interest.

Steve Thomas I still think it's out there. People don't just destroy boxes of evidence. They take it home with them and keep it in a closet. BK This is the original text of the full article that ran in the Dallas Morning News. March 28, 1976 Dallas Morning News, page 30 Assassination Notes Papers Link Ruby, Oswald By Earl Golz Handwritten notes and other papers that linked Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby were viewed in the Dallas County courthouse by several deputy sheriff constables, shortly after the assassination of president John F. Kennedy, the Dallas Morning News has learned. One of the deputies, Billy Preston said he has not heard what happened to the papers after he and the late constable, Robie Love personally gave them to Dist. Atty. Henry Wade in a cardboard box in late 1963 or early 1964. Love died in 1973, apparently without ever mentioning the incident to his wife. Preston and three other deputies however, told the News they recalled seeing the box in Lovie’s office. In addition to Preston, two others— Mike Callahan and Ben Cash— said they examined some of the box’s contents along with Love. A fourth deputy at the time, Tom Stockard, Jr., said he did not look inside the box. Preston and Callahan are now the deputies of Constable Forrest Keene, who succeeded Love. Cash is a constable at Port Aransas. Stockard resigned as deputy last June and is now opposing Keene for re-election. Preston said he got the cardboard box from the apartment of a woman in Dallas several weeks after the assassination on November 22, 1963. “She was really scared that she had all that stuff,” Preston said. “She wanted me to pick it up for her, and I just wish I had made some more copies now.” He could recall the woman only the name of “Mary" and assumed she was an associate of Oswald’s because the material seemed to have been written by the accused assassin. Cash however, said he remembered the papers as originally in the possession of the woman’s roommate who was hiding them for her Latin-American boyfriend. "The impression I got, the papers were from the Latin-American because he mentioned Ruby and he mentioned Oswald in the writings,” Cash said. “He didn’t mention the third party but he kept referring to a third party. And the third party would have to be him.” Preston and Cash said newspaper clippings from Mexico also were in the box including some which depicted, “a pistoleer down in Mexico— what we would call a bounty hunter.” They said they recalled seeing a photocopy of what appeared to be a press card with the words “Daily Worker” issued to Ruby when he lived in Chicago. Callahan, the third deputy who looked at the box’s contents said he saw “a card back then, but I can’t tell you what it was.” Preston and Cash also said they saw a receipt for a motel in New Orleans dated several weeks before the assassination with Oswald’s and Ruby’s names on it. The receipt showed several phone calls to numbers in Mexico, later which were found to be those of the Cuban and Russian embassies, they said. The papers also pinpointed a landing strip somewhere in Mexico City, and referred to meetings with “agents” designated by numbers in the border towns of McAllen and Laredo they said. Callahan said he recalls seeing among the contents of the box a Dallas church brochure which had markings over the letters. “It was deciphered out where it was mentioned about going to Cuba,” Callahan said. Other handwritten notes recounted a plan to assassinate Kennedy during “the dedication of a lake or dam in Wisconsin,” Preston said. (Law authorities in Wisconsin had speculated in December 1963, that such a plan may have existed after they found what appeared to be Oswald’s signature September 16, 1963, on the registry of a restaurant in Hubertus, Wis., Kennedy had made speeches Sept. 24, at Ashland, Wis., and Duluth, Minn., as part of a national conservation tour. (The FBI later dismissed the possibility that the signature was Oswald’s. The incident however, received little publicity outside of Wisconsin.) “We kept quiet about all of this,” Cash said. “We figured it would be handled on a higher level, and when it didn’t come out we thought at the time possibly they [Warren Commission] thought that that kind of information tying it into the Cubans or Russians couldn’t be released at that time because it might put us in World War III." Cash remembers that the piles of papers and clippings “was quite extensive. He went into the time between the firing of the shots” at the Texas Schoolbook Depository Building Cash and Preston said the writings noted another gun, at the assassination scene, but they couldn’t remember other details except Cash’s recollections of a “25 caliber automatic.” Cash speculated that the writer had his girl friend keep his notes as “protection” against being “fingered” later on. Wade said, “it might well have happened” that he was given the box from Love’s office, “but I know whatever they had didn’t amount to nothing.” “You can see how much it would have helped us in the trial (of Ruby) if we could prove Ruby and Oswald were together,” Wade said. “We never found any substantial proof that they knew each other. Everything that indicated that there might be a connection was checked out more carefully than anything else by our office.” Wade’s chief investigator for Ruby trial evidence, Dallas Police Lt. Jack Revill said, he “didn’t even know if (the boxload of papers in Love’s office) existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie was going to be produced by Robert Larsen Productions in Colorado Springs, CO They were going to create a seperate company called Flag-Star, Inc. The movie was going to be a documentary, but it was also supposed to bolster the image of Dallas, TX in the eyes of the world. Wade, Curry and Robert Denson had agreed to open their personal, confidential, and public files and records. Wade was going to get $20,000 plus 20% of the producer's gross. Curry was going to get $10,000 and 10% of the gross. Denson was going to get $5,000 and 5% of the gross. Robert Denson was a private eye and the Chief Investigator for the defense during Ruby's trial. There were newspaper articles in the LA Times and NY Times on this movie at the time. Roy Truly wanted $2,000 to act in the movie and another $5,000 for use of the TSBD.Group 14.Letter from Wade to Donna Clark of Fort Worth dated March 25, 1964, a junior doing a term paper on JFK's assassination,"The shots came from the Texas School Book Depository and all of the facts indicated that the assassin was Lee Harvey Oswald, although the facts are circumstantial, there being no eyewitness that identified him."pdfs 55 - 56.

Paul Trejo Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) What was disappointing about these Dallas files, was their intensive focus on Jack Ruby. In my CT, Jack Ruby had nothing whatsoever to do with the JFK Assassination. Jack killed Lee Harvey Oswald -- which is a totally different murder. What we should be seeking from Dallas is this: 1. Documents about the events and Dallas official participants on 11/22/1963 behind the picket fence of the Grassy Knoll 2. Documents about the events and Dallas official participants on 11/22/1963 at the Texas School Book Depository building 3. Documents about the events and Dallas official participants on 11/22/1963 at Oak Cliff's Texas Theater 4. Documents about the events and Dallas official participants on 11/22/1963 at Ruth Paine's garage 5. Documents about the events and Dallas official participants on 11/22/1963 at LHO's North Beckley address 6. Documents about the events and Dallas official participants on 11/22/1963 at the Dallas City Jail. The documents we have from the Warren Commission are woefully inadequate. I would especially like to see: 7. Any semblance of correspondence between Chief Jesse Curry and General Walker 8. Any semblance of correspondence between Sheriff Bill Decker and Captain Will Fritz 9. Any semblance of correspondence between Sheriff Bill Decker and Chief Jesse Curry 10. Any semblance of correspondence between Sheriff Bill Decker and General Walker 11. Any semblance of correspondence between Captain Will Fritz and Chief Jesse Curry 12. Any semblance of correspondence between Captain Will Fritz and General Walker 13. Membership list of the Friends of Walker in Dallas (to cross-check against Dallas Police and Deputies) 14. Membership list of the Dallas Minutemen (to cross-check against Dallas Police and Deputies) 15. Membership list of the John Birch Society chapter led by General Walker (to cross-check against Dallas Police and Deputies) If we can't get these documents, then IMHO we are spinning our wheels and merely reviewing data we've seen for the past 55 years. Seeking in vain for some connection between Jack Ruby and the JFK Assassination has proved fruitless for 55 years. When will CTers realize that it's time to research the Dallas Police and Deputies?

Micah Mileto Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 On 4/10/2008 at 2:06 PM, John Hunt said: Here is the foot note on the ARRB and Burros from an upcoming essay of mine: "The ARRB claimed to have determined that “David Burros” was a DPD motorcycle officer and that he turned a skull fragment over to Weitzman [ARRB Final Report, pg. 140]. Yet as far as the City of Dallas was concerned, no one by the name of David Burros had ever worked for the DPD, which is what they twice told the ARRB. Margaret McGee told me in a telephone conversation on September 16, 2002 that she vaguely recalled the ARRB-initiated search for “Burros.” [The ARRB used the Burkley typo version Burros] She also related that her records went back no farther than 1975 and would not have covered the period of the assassination. At my request, she checked her files for a “David Burros or Burris” and reported that no record of could be found. However, she did find a “David Burroughs” who was “hired in 1982.” Obviously, this is not the 1963 “Burros” being sought by the ARRB. Additionally, an employee of the DPD payroll records office checked payroll files at my request. A day later she reported that no payroll records existed for a “David Burros, Burroughs, or Burris” from 1964 going back as far as the records reached, which was the “mid-1920’s.” Intriguingly, according to the information in CE-5002, there was a Burris on the DPD payroll in November 1963. His first name was not David, but Homer, and he worked in CID- Burglary and Theft [19H146]. It is interesting to note that “Dallas motorcycle policeman” “David Burros’ ” supposed historic recollections are not recounted anywhere in the ARRB files. Indeed, no ARRB information about “David Burros” and his story exists outside that single, slim paragraph in the ARRB Final Report." Where is the late John Hunt's essay on the Burros fragment now?
