We, of the OIC, have been discussing the likelihood of Jack Ruby being in Dealey Plaza during the motorcade, and we all agree that he was there, notwithstanding the bull shit story that he was placing an ad for his nightclub at the Dallas Morning News at the time. What follows is by Professor James Norwood:

All,

There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that Jack Ruby was present in Dealey Plaza at the time of the assassination.  Your good photo work (Ralph) adds even more weight to this conclusion. 

Here are some eyewitnesses to consider:


(1)  On the morning of November 22, eyewitness Julia Ann Mercer identified Jack Ruby driving a pickup truck through Dealey Plaza and offloading a passenger who carried a rifle up and beyond the area of the stockade fence.  On Saturday, November 23, Mercer made a positive identification of Ruby as the driver of the vehicle when she was shown a mug shot of Ruby by the Dallas police.  This was one day before Ruby became a public figure when he shot Oswald.  During the Garrison investigation, Julia Ann Mercer, fearing for her life, went into hiding, adopted a new name, and has never resurfaced publicly.

(2)  As indicated in Ralph's blog of July 31, 2014, Victoria Adams, who worked in the Texas School Book Depository, identified Ruby "barking orders" at the corner of Houston and Elm.

(3)  Dallas police patrolman Tom G. Tilson, Jr. alleged that he saw a man loading a rifle into a vehicle immediately after the assassination.  The location was under the triple underpass.  Tilson immediately recognized the man as Jack Ruby.  He followed the vehicle, which eventually disappeared in traffic.  Tilson told his story during in the mock trial of 1986, and it may be seen in this youtube video:

Tilson's story has been widely discredited even among JFK researchers.  But watch Vincent Bugliosi's cross-examination of this witness, and see if Bugliosi is successful in discrediting Tilson.

(4)  Mrs. Louis Velez and two co-workers, saw Ruby walking up and down the street near the TSBD.  The three women observed Ruby handing a pistol to a man who was identical to Lee Harvey Oswald.  Was this the pistol with the defective firing pin taken off the possession of the man arrested in the Texas Theater?   Mrs. Velez told her story of Ruby giving Oswald a pistol to her mother (Mrs. Evelyn Harris), who was interviewed by FBI agent Manning on 11/30/63. Neither Mrs. Velez nor her co-workers were interviewed by the DPD or FBI and given the opportunity to confirm or deny their story.

(5)  A very close friend of Jack Ruby's, Tommy Rowe, worked at Hardy's Shoe Store with Johnny Brewer. In 1964 Rowe told friends, relatives, and JFK researchers that it was he, NOT Brewer, who pointed out Oswald to the police in the dark of the Texas Theater.  Rowe was so close to Jack Ruby that Rowe moved into Ruby's apartment when Ruby went to jail for killing Oswald.  Rowe was never interviewed by the DPD or FBI.  Rowe's account was published by Penn Jones in his Midlothian Mirrorhttp://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/White%20Materials/White%20Magazines%20And%20Articles/Midlothian%20Mirror/71-08-26.pdf


*******

As it happens repeatedly in this case, the major hurdle to overcome is from the Warren Report.  According to the Commission, Ruby was in the second-floor office of the Dallas Morning News, placing his weekly ads for his nightclubs.  The newspaper office was five blocks from Dealey Plaza.  The case is made by the Warren Commission attorneys that Ruby was at the newspaper office from 11am until 12:25pm.

But if even a portion of the five eyewitness accounts above are true, it becomes apparent that Jack Ruby's role in the assassination is much greater than has ever been acknowledged.
