a) Ruby was indi rec t ly linked through othersto Oswald;
b Ruby ki l led OS'TI'(ald, because of rear; or
2
c) Ruby ki l led Oswald a t the suggest ion or others.
3. S u r n m ~ t Evidence S ~ g e s t i n g Further Invest igat ion.The rollovdng acts suggest t ~ neceasity or fUrther _nves t i -gat:J.on;
a.. :Rub had time to engage in substantial act vi i e s1n addi t ion to the management of his Clubs. Ruby's night clubbusiness usually occupied no more than five hours or a normalworking day Which began at about 10:00 a.m. and ended at
2:00 a.m. I tn ~ h i ~
pructice to spend an average of onlyone hour a day a t his Clubs bct t;cen 10:00 a.m. and 9:00p.m.Our depo31 tionn were conf1nec primarily to persona :familiarwith Ruby's Club act1rt t1es. The ~ B I has thoroughly inves t i -gated Ruby's night club operations but does not seem to havepinned down hia other bu31neas or social act ivi t ies . Thebasic materials do make reference to s u ~ h other act ivi t ies(see p. Zl o ~ our report or February 18), but these are casualand col lateral and were not explored to determine whether theyinvolved any underlyins s in i s te r p u r p o e ~ N o ~ were they probedin such a manner as to permit a determination as to how much o ~Ruby's time they occupied.
b . Ruby has always been a person who looked to rmoney-rniKing "sidelines." In the two months prior toNovember 22, Ruby supposedly s ~ e n t considerable time promotingan exercise device kno :n as a twist board." The "twistboard" was purportedly manufactured by ~ l a s t e l l 1 t e Engineering,a Fort Worth manufacturer t oi l f ie ld equipment which haspoor cred1 references and was the subject or an PBI investi-gation n 1952. We know t no sales of th is em by Ruby; ·nor do we lmow i any "twist boards" were manufactured to rsa le . The possib i l i ty remains tha t the "ttdst boardu \ las arront fo r some other i l legal enterprise.
c . Ruby has lone; been close to persona pursuing
i l legal act iv i t ies . Although Ruby had no known ideological orpol i t ica l in te res ts (see p. 35 or our report o ~ February 18)
there i s much evidence that he was interested in Cuban· matters.In early 1959 Ruby inquired concerning the smuggling orpersons out or Cuba. He has admitted that , a t that time 1 henegotiated for the sale or Jeeps to Castro. In September 1959,Ruby Visited Havana a t the invi tat ion or Las Vegas racketeer,Louis J . McWill1e1 who paid Ruby's ~ ~ e n s e s for the t r ip andmo was l a t e r expelled f rom Cuba by Castro. McWillie i s

described by Ralph Paul6 Ruby'e business partner, as one o t
Ruby's closest f r iends. Ruby mailed a gun to McW1111e in ear ly1963. In 19616- t i s reported t ha t Ruby at tended three meetings1n Dallas in connection with the s ale of arms to Cubans andthe smuggling out r r efugcen. The informant identif ies anEd Brunner as Ruby'B associate in this endeavor. Shortly afterhis arrest on November 24 Ruby n ~ ~ d Fred B r ~ t n e r as one ofh:1s expected attorneys. Brur..ncr did not represent Rub;,y.-howevcr. Insufficient investigation han been conducted toconf ' im o r deny the report about mt:et1nz s in 1961. When HenryVade ~ o u n c e d to the P r e ~ s on November 226 1963 that Oswaldwas a member- t the Free Cuba o ee Ruby corrected Wadeby- stat ing ~ o t the free CUba Co :m1t t ee l The a i r Play tor
Cuba Committee. There i s a di f f erence . ' lbe i'ree Cuba Com-mittee i s an existing ant1-Ca3 t ro l i z a t i o n . Earl R u b y ~brother
o ~ ~ a c k R u b y ~sent an unexpl ained
te l
egram to Havanain April 196 2. We ba l ievc tha t a r e o b l ~ po 3s1b1lity exis ts ·tha t Ruby has m31nta1ned a close i n t o r c ~ t in Cuban atraira tothe extent necessary to par t i c ipa te 1n gun salea or smuggling.
d. Bits of evidence link: Ruby to others who may havebeen intereeted 1n Cuban arra1rs. When Ruby's ear vas eeizedon November 2Y. t contained various right-wing radio script si ssued by H. L. Hunt s.nd a copy or ths Wall Street Journalbearing the mailing address of a man who ~ a ~ not yet been1dent1.f1ed. In May 1963. Earl Ruby, operator of a dry cleaningbusiness, 1s known to have telephoned the Welch Candy Company(owned by the· tounder of John Birch Society). Tne purpose r
the ca l l i s unknown. Jack Ruby1
B personal notebook containedthe Massachusetts t e l e p h ~ n e number and address or Thomas Hil l
torcer Dalla3 r e s i d e n t ~ working at the Boston headquarters orthe John Birch Society. Altnou.;h 1 t i s most l ikely that a l l r
those bi ts or circumstantial evidence have innocent e x p ~ a n a -tions., none has yet been explained.
e Although Ruby' did not w1 tnesa the motorcade throughD a l 1 a s ~ ne may have had a prior interest in the PresidentJsv1s1t A November 20 ed1 ion or the Port Worth Telegram sho\'ti nethe President 's proposed route througt. Fort Worth, and theNovember 20 edit ion r the Dallas M o r r ~ n g News ehowing thePresident 1 s route through Dallas, were found 1n Ruby-fa car on
November 24. .
t On November 16 Jack Ruby met at the Carousel Clubw1 th Bertha Cheek, s i s te r or Mrs. b r l ene Roberte, manager ofeo Oswald • s rooming house. Mrs. ·Cheek said that she and Ruby
discuosed her lending Ruby money to open a new night club.
