Jack Ruby and Officer Roy Vaughn gave different accounts of what happened at the Main Street ramp, which supports my contention that they were there at different times. Vaughn said that as Lt. Pierce was coming up the ramp, he stepped to the sidewalk to make sure that the traffic was clear and then he waved him through. He said that Pierce didn't stop, and they didn't talk.
However, Ruby said that when he got to the Main Street ramp, that Sam Pierce's car was stopped at the top of the ramp, and the officer on foot was leaning him talking to him. Vaughn denied that he eve did that. And Ruby said that they kept on talking, paying no attention to him, as he walked down the ramp.
Note also that at 11:17 when Pierce exited the Main St. ramp, he had two other officers in the car with him, Moxie and another. You can see them in the KRLD footage. However, Ruby said nothing about seeing any passengers in Pierce's car. \
Also, Ruby said he didn't recognize the officer on foot who was talking to Pierce at the top of the ramp. However, Ruby knew Roy Vaughn. They had met several times. Vaughn had been to the Vegas Club in 1961 on a police call. And there was a time that he pulled Ruby over for a traffic violation, but he forgave it because he was a friend of the department. Ruby would not have forgotten that. Yet, he didn't recognize the officer talking to Pierce.
But, what about Lt. Rio Sam Pierce? What did he tell the WC? He told the same story that Vaughn told, that he was pulling out, and Vaughn stepped towards the street and then waved him on. He said nothing about stopping, and nothing about him and Vaughn talking.
And that made sense because he pulled out twice, but he was only admitting to one, the second one, which involved Vaughn. So, that's the one he described.
But, returrning to the testimony of Roy Vaughn: He was on duty at another location downtown when he got a call to report to City Hall and go to the dispatch office and wait for Lt. Pierce.. So, he drove over there and parked his car and then went to the office, but Pierce wasn't there. So, he sat around with two other guys who were also waiting for Pierce; they drank coffee and talked as they waited for him. Then, another officer, RC Nelson showed up, who was Tippit's partner. Vaughn didn't point that out, but I am. Finally, Pierce shows up, and he told them to all report to Sergeant Patrick Dean in the basement for their assignments. So, they went down to the basement to find Dean, and when they found him, Dean put Vaughn in the hands of Sergeant Putnam. And it was Sergeant Putnam who instructed Vaughn to guard the Main Street ramp and make sure no one got in.
Now, how long would all that have taken? From the time that Vaughn got the call from his original location downtown to report to City Hall to him standing at the top of the Main Street ramp guarding it? What if I told you he got the call at 9 AM. As you play out that scenario in your mind, as you watch it in your head, and not like a movie because movies jump around. You have to watch it in your head like you are experiencing every second of it. Well, when it finally came down to citing a time, the record states that Vaughn said "somewhere around 9:30; I couldn't be definite."
9:30? That's half an hour. To do all that? No way! And did Vaughn really say it? That could easily have been edited, and no one would have noticed. No one would have been looking for it. The whole idea that it wasn't Ruby in the garage didn't dawn on anyone until 2013- 50 years later.
But, there is no doubt that it wasn't Ruby in the garage because the images tell us so. Remember what a I said: that there is a hierarchy when it comes to evidence; that some things trump other things. And the images trump everything else, including all the lipflapping. That short, pudgy Shooter with the long, thick hair in back was definitely not Jack Ruby. And that is on ice.
These two cannot be the same man. Might as well say the sun is the moon, if you're going to say that.
It's the 60th anniversary year, and I call on all JFK truth-tellers to vouch adamantly for the innocence of Jack Ruby.
