Lips Of
DALLAS LPI '-Police closed
the books today on Lee Harvey
Oswald and the world will nev
er know what was in his mind.
He was shot to death as Presi
dent Kennedy's assassin by a
self-appointed executioner be
fore a nationwide television au
dience. While the martyred President
was being buried in Arlington
National Cemetery, mourned by
the world, Ihe Communist-Castro
sympathizer accused of slay
ing him lay on a cold marble
slab in a morgue, disgraced.
He died with his lips sealed.
He took to the grave with him
the reason Kennedy was killed
if, as police are convinced with
out doubt, he was the assassin.
The 24-year-old pro - Castro
Marxist was being transierred
in handculfs from city jail to
a maximum security cell at the
county jail house when Jack
Ruby, a one time Chicaqo street
brawler and owner of a Dal
las striptease night club, leaped
from a crowd of newsmen and
policemen with a curse,
jammed a snub-nosed 38 cali
ber pistol into' Oswald's side
fired one shot.
Could Do Nothing
Oswald jerked back. So did
the police bodyguards flanking
him. But there was nothing they
could do to slop Ruby.
Dallas policeman P. T. Dean
said Ruby (old him he shot Os
wald out of concern for Mrs.
Kennedy. Dean said Ruby did
not want Mrs. Kennedy to "go
through Ihe ordeal of returning
to Dallas" and testifying at Os
wald's trial.
He said Ruby decided to "ob
viate" the legal process by ex
ecuting Oswald himself.
Osw ald was quickly rushed tn
Parkland Hospital's emergency
ward w here President Kennedy
died Kriday. At 1 p.m. (2 p.m.
EST', 48 hours to the minute
from the official time of Ken
nedy's death, Oswald's heart
stopped beating. Open heart
massage failed. He was pro
nounced dead at 1:07 p.m.
Henry Wade, Dallas County
district attorney, filed murder
charges against Ruby and said
he would ask for the death pen
alty. Seeks Death Penalty
"A second assassination does
n't help (justify) the first one,"
he said. "1 will seek the death
penalty for Ruby even if he
pleads guilty because shooting
a handcuffed man deserves the
death penalty."
Oswald died without speaking
a word. There was no chance
for a death-bed confession. He
had steadfastly maintained that
he had nothing to do with the
assassination of Kennedy, the
wounding of Gov. John Connal
ly, who was riding with Ken
nedy, and later the slaying of

As
Assassin Sealed By Pistol Shot
Dallas police officer J. D. Tip
pitt. Wade said, however, that
there was more than enough
evidence to send Oswald to the
electric chair.
W ade said he had no idea of
Oswald's motives. They died
with him. Some of the outrage
expressed across the nation at
Ruby's vengeance shooting was
based on the fact Oswald never
will be able lo tell what he
knew and never can be brought
to justice.
The Dallas Morning News re
ported in a copyright story that
agents searching the room Os
wald rented under the alias
"0. H. Lee" found a map that
was Wade's "exhibit A."
Pa Hi of Bullous
The pa)er said the map was
lined with the gath of the assas
sination bullets. Tile News said
this was the "major" evidence
uncovered by police but not re
vealed. Wade did not mention
it.
Kennedy had just ridden
through the heart of Dallas in
a motorcade en route to (lie
Dallas Trade Mart, where he
was to speak, when the sniper
struck. He was hit in the head
and throat. Connally was hit
once.
The sniper shot from the sixth
floor of tlic Texas Schoolbook
Depository Building in which
Oswald worked.
Sunday night, Wade called a
news conference.
"As far as Oswald is con
cerned, the case is closed," he
said. He added that tliere was
"no concrete" evidence that
anyone helped liim in Ihe as
sassination, or that he belonged
tn any political organizations
other than the "Kair Play for
Cuba" Committee.
Wade revealed additional ev
idence that police had gathered
against Oswald. He said he was
doing so because of calls he had
been getting from "Stockholm
and all sorts of foreign coun
tries" to clear up questions
about evidence.
Found Three Shells
The assassination rifle was an
Italian 6.4 mm Carcano bolt ac
tion weapon with a 4-power tcl
esocpic sifjltt. It was found w ith'
three empty shells in a sixth
floor room of the Schoolbook
Depository Building, about 100
yards from the spot where Ken
nedy and Connally were shot.
The rifle was purchased by
mail from Klein Sporting Goods
Co. in Chicago and traced to
Oswald. The mail order was in
his handwriting. There was a
photograph with the rifle in his
hands. And there were Oswald's
palm prints on the butt of the
gun and on a box in the room
k
M
M
from which the assassin fired,
W ade said.
Police already had disclosed
that Oswald had wrilten to Hie
Klein Co., using a Dallas Po-t
Office box and the assumed
name "A. Hydell" to purchase
the gun for $12.78.
W'itneses saw Oswald in the
building before the shooting and
saw him leave immediately aft
erward. He was stopped by a
policeman, but was told "he's
all right" because he worked
in the building, and was al
lowed to leave.
Laughed at Shooting
Wade said police got on his
trail because of the report of a
woman who told of a man who
laughed because Kennedy had
been shot.
Oswald boarded a bus to go
lo his SB-a-week rented room
about 12 blocks from the build
ing where he worked.
It was about this time that a
woman said that a passenger
told her that the President had
been shot. She didn't believe it.
and asked the passenger where
he had heard it. He pointed to
a man, presumably Oswald, in
the rear.
She went back and asked the
man.
"Yes, the President is shot,"
the man said. He laughed, ehe
said, and shocked her.
It was at this point that po
lice started trailing Oswald.
They said he left the bus, took
a cab to his rented room,
changed clothes, and rushed
back out.
Shot Policeman
Within minutes. Patrolman
J. D. Tippilt stopped him. Wade
indicated, and was shot and
killed with two bullets. Witness
es saw Oswald reload his pistol
and flee on foot.
He was captured and subdued
in a movie theater five blocks
from the site of Tippitt's slay
ing. Oswald's Russian wife, Ma
rina, who lived vlith their two
children in suburban Irving,
told authorities that her husband
had a rifle similar to the one
that killed the President. It was
missing.

drove back into Dallas with a

This time, the neighbor gave
him a ride Kriday morning. He
said Oswald had a package with
him and told him it w as w indow

Dallas today three hours after
Kennedy's funeral. He leaves a
