Jack Ruby Questions

[Lewis Reynolds]

A couple of questions regarding Jack Rubys activities:

1. Why was he at the conferences with Oswald? Do you think this was incase he had an opportunity to shot Oswald, or just curiosity?

2. Why did Ruby bother to correct Wade regarding the Free Cuba Committee? I bring attention to himself? Why bother at all?

Any thoughts?

Thanks

1.  He was both stalking and monitoring him.

2.  He wanted D.A. Wade and Oswald to know he was there. That he was sent to monitor what they said first hand.  To keep their mouths shut.  ???

1.He was monitoring Oswald, keeping track of what the cops were doing with him.

 

2. Because he wanted to keep LHO a commie.  That other group was a rightwing group with members like Arleigh Burke.

Thanks Jim, that makes perfect sense. To re-enforce the commie story.

Thanks very interesting reading.

When Wade said that Oswald was a member of the “Free Cuba Committee," a group populated by CIA assets and supporters such as Clare Booth Luce, Admiral Arleigh Burke, and Hal Hendrix, Jack Ruby corrected him and said, “that's 'Fair Play for Cuba Committee,' Henry.”
