Peter,
This is going to be slow going.
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.
Group 10 are the "Bill of Exceptions", the legal arguments why the defense felt Judge Brown was wrong when he overulled their objections. In each case Judge Brown dismisses their Exceptions. In one, the defense out and out says that Patrick Dean committed perjury on the stand when he claimed to be upstairs talking to Ruby with Forrest Sorrels, while contemporaneous news footage shows him downstairs being interviewed on TV.
Other Exceptions include not allowing evidence that insanity ran in Ruby's family from being introduced at trial, and not allowing a change in venue.
Steve Thomas
Group 11 are the last of the Bill of Exceptions, and motions for changes in counsel for the defense for Ruby's Appeal.
Then follows congratulatory telegrams sent to Wade from ordinary citizens and letters sent to Ruby while he was in jail.
Steve Thomas
Group 12 are letters to Ruby while he was in jail.
Many are illegible, many are religious in nature.
Some are congratulatory, some condemn him.
Some people sent him $1.00. One person sent him six green stamps.
On page 14 of pdf 32, Breck Wall and Joe Peterson sent him reviews of the Bottoms Up musical review published in the Houston Post.

So much for Howard Brennan.
pdf 56. An editorial from the November 26, 1963 issue of the Worker, calling for a special commission to investigate the assassination.
pdf 60. Letter from Attorney William B. Moss, a friend of Reese Wade, Henry's brother,

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."

Peter,
Is it just my Opera browser, or are others having problems seeing anything at that url?I think it's going to depend on time of day. I was really frustrated trying to get in Friday afternoon, but early Monday morning (the 25th) there was no problem.
This is going to be slow going.

Wade attempted to get two things across:
1) Ruby told the arresting officers that he tried to shoot Oswald three times, but the police were too fast for him; and,
2) That he (Ruby) intended to "kill the son of the bitch."
there was some curious interplay between the defense counsel and a couple of the officers that statements written out or their supervisors differed from the testimony they were giving at trial.
Judge Brown refused to allow those statements from being introduced as evidence.
The defense counsel also objected to allowing any statements made by Ruby after his arrest should be disallowed. Brown overruled their objections.

John,
She contradicts a theory expressed by Mr. Watkins at the Monday news conference that a disputed "transcript" – allegedly a conversation between Ruby and Oswald plotting the president's death – might have been part of the movie script.Ms. West said the purported dialogue appears nowhere in the screenplay. [/color]
I myself have doubted that this transcript was for a movie.
I think what it is, is that Wade asked Jarnigan to write out what he allegedly overheard in the Carousel. I suspect that this is Jarnigan's original statement to Wade.
It's odd. I believe that this transcript was marked "Plaintiff's Exhibit." Since Wade was the plaintiff in the Ruby case, I wonder if he intended to introduce it at trial.

John,
Members might be interested in this document that proves that George Joannides was at JMWAVE at the time of the assassination of JFK.I was looking at George Joannides fitness reports in the Miscellaneous CIA Series on the Mary Farrell Foundation web site.
There are several of them, and there are some that he signed as the employee being reviewed as aka Walter D. Newby.
If you run the name Walter D. Newby in the search function, you come up with several hits of Walter D. Newby being introduced in late 1962 as the new case officer of AMSPELL.

I still have not located a pic of Piper.Not that it helps you out any, but at one time, the FBI had three pictures of him.

Chris,
I would be dubious of the recollection of a lawyer who felt the need to visit his stripper/client at her place of employment.On what matters did he represent her?
If he purported to be her lawyer and she didn't have any charges or lawsuits against her at that time, why did she have a lawyer?
While in Jarnagin's statement, he calls Robin Hood a "client", in her FBI interview, she says that they were dating.
See her FBI interview here:

Bill,
If anyone locates a transcript of the Press conference I'd like to see it.Thanks,
BK
I don't have a transcript, but if you'd like to see the press conference, you can find it here:
http://cbs11tv.com/video/?cid=7
Channel 11's video library - it's on the third page.
PS: It's kind of coincidental that on the same day that the DA holds his press conference, the Dallas Police Department's web site was hacked.

Bernice,
The full transcript, and Jarangin's letter to Hoover, is reprinted onpages
124 - 126 in Michael Benson's "Encyclopedia Of The JFK Assassination."
B.........
You can also read Jarnagin's letter to Hoover and an 8 page statement from him in CD 86 beginning on page 559 here:

Peter,
What I saw as a transcript was NOT believable at all! - either a film treatment script or disinformation extraordinaire! I smell a big fat dead rat in this whole circus.The transcript more or less mirrors the account of Dallas Attorney, Carroll Jarnagin. You can find his account in CD 86 beginning around page 558.
The DPD Archives has the transcript of a lie detector test administered by Paul Bentley. Bentley's conclusion was that Jarnagin made the whole thing up.

There have been a lot of things over the last couple of years, but this one is about the scariest.
"This business owner says he attended a small InfraGard meeting where agents of the FBI and Homeland Security discussed in astonishing detail what InfraGard members may be called upon to do.
“The meeting started off innocuously enough, with the speakers talking about corporate espionage,” he says. “From there, it just progressed. All of a sudden we were knee deep in what was expected of us when martial law is declared. We were expected to share all our resources, but in return we’d be given specific benefits.” These included, he says, the ability to travel in restricted areas and to get people out.
But that’s not all.
“Then they said when—not if—martial law is declared, it was our responsibility to protect our portion of the infrastructure, and if we had to use deadly force to protect it, we couldn’t be prosecuted,” he says."
