Anyway, about the third or fourth night when we got up to leave he walked over and introduced himself to me and I said nice to meet you and what do you want, Mr. Ruby? And, he went on to tell me about he was having trouble with his night club and had some kind of curfew put on him and I asked him, I said, Mr. Ruby, you are Jewish, aren't you, and he said, yes. I said well, there is a gentleman here in town by the name of Julius Schepps that might be able to help you, if there is nothing bad wrong with you, so I suggested that he go see Mr. Schepps, and he did, and he seemed to get his trouble straightened out. Mr. PURDY. Mr. Schepps was able to help Jack Ruby? Mr. McWILLIE.

James Richards Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 In fact, I had a call from Julius Schepps and some of the most responsible and influential people we do have in Dallas too, and they said to me, "I hope you are not going to get involved in this case," and to Julius I remember I said, "Well, Julius, you know--" he heard my name mentioned, and I said, "Julius, if I were able to represent the man I would" (Thomas H. Purvis quoting text) If I remember correctly, Julius Schepps and John Connolly knew each other quite well - Connolly being responsible for securing Schepps a lofty position with the Parks Department. Also, Tom, do you know anything about an alleged mentoring type relationship between Julius Schepps and Abe's son Henry Zapruder? During the mid 1950's, Henry was President of the B'nai B'rith Junior Order. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
