This image, from the Wizard, is the very best rendering of "Elevator Ruby" that we have, and it's easy to see that he is not Jack Ruby. This man had a very narrow nose, a round face, prominent orbital ridges, and a short forehead. Jack Ruby had a longer neck, rounder eyes, less prominent orbital ridges, a much longer forehead, etc. The likeness of their hairlines was surely the result of doctoring both images. Remember: in 1960, Ruby was combing his hair on camera, and he didn't even run his comb across the top, he had so little hair there. I used to wonder why his hair is so short in front in this 1960 image, but now I know. It's because he never combs it. He's got a comb in his right hand there that he is using, but he never uses it on top, and that had to be rationalized. Nobody could have hair like this. 
So, here is the Wizard's good image of "Elevator Ruby" who was James Bookhout with Jack Ruby below him. Anyone who tries to say they are the same man is being flagrantly dishonest with himself and the world.
