Self -Appointed Executioner
To Plead Temporary Insanity
DALLAS (UPD Self top
pointed executioner Jack Ruby
will plead temporary insanity
in the shooting of Lee Harvey
Oswald, his attorney said today.
"I think he was probably tem
porarily out of his mind," attor
ney Tom Howard said.
Ruby, who gunned down the
accused assassin of President
Kennedy in view of a nation
wide television Sunday, was
transferred from city jail to the
county courthouse under heavy
guard shortly after noon.
He pressed down on the car
!eat so passersby would not see
him.
It was the same trip which
ended in death for Oswald as it
barely got underway. While Os
wald was being led to a special
armored car, Ruby leaped from
a crowd of police and newsmen.
With a curse, he jammed a
snub-nosed .38 caliber revolver
within four inches of Oswald's
left side and pulled the trigger
once.
Oswald died 103 minutes later
In the same Parkland Hospital
that President Kennedy took his
last breath.
Oswald, his lips sealed forev
er, his body In secret service
custody, lay without mourners
in a heavily guarded Fort
Worth funeral home. Police
were not overlooking the possi
bility of a desecrating attack on
his corpse.
Dist. Atty. Henry Wade said
Sunday night that he would de
mand tlie maximum penalty for
Ruby, a 52-year- old nightclub
owner. Ruby was booked on
charges of murder with malice.
. "I will seek the death penal
ty for Ruby even if he pleads
guilty because shooting a hand
cuffed man deserves (lie death
penalty," Wade 6aid.
Rumors cropped up that Ruby
had died in his city jail cell by
poison, hanging, or stabbing.
Another rumor said Wade had
been shot. Both were false.
Secret service agents ordered
Oswald's body sent to the Mill
er Funeral Home in the dark of
Air Force

Kingsley Field today, by proc
lamation of Base Commander
Edwin J. Witzenbergcr, official,
ly joined Hie day of observance
with Klamath County residents.
At eight o'clock this morning,
half an hour after tlie beginning
of the work day at Kingslcy, the
base commander related two
messages to the military popu

dress system, reading state
ments from Defense Secretary
Robert McNamara, Air Force
Secretary Eugene Zuckert and
-Air Force Chief of Staff Curtiss
LeMay.
The colonel then expressed
his desire Uiat this be consid
ered a non-duty day and that
all non-essential people were re
leased from duty.
But as always, and particular
ly at a time like tins, the Air
Force docs not, and has not, re
laxed its vigilance. Flying crows,
even though they mourn for
their Commander-in-Chief, al
ways stand by to perform their
missions, should any situation
call for their deadly accurate
skill.

The killing of President Ken

About all we know of it is the

unknown.
Perhaps it is just as well al
though it is generally regretted
because it leaves the motives of
the assassin, as well as tlie

he had lived, and had been duly
tried for murder, useful knowl

Stems From Threats
SALEM (L'PD - It is diffi

c i t i z e n s to comprehend the
abuse, threats and vandalism
that is directed at high public
officials.
The nation will not soon re
cover from the horror of Fri
day, Nov. 22. 1963.
And Oregonians may rot want
to admit such a tragedy could
occur here.
But it could. It almost has.
The security guard placed
around the home of Gov. Mark
Hatfield has been the subject of
much public abuse.
But that security guard was
the direct result of a nearly
tragic chain of events.
Tlie guard force was estab
lished immediately after the
legislature unanimously ap
proved a resolution charging
the state police with the duty
of providing security for the
governor and his family.
That resolution was adopted
but a few days after a dozen
shots were fired at the Hatfield
house by a frustrated welfare
recipient. One of the bullets
smashed through the trunk of
the governor's car,, which was
parked alongside the house. The
incident occurred about 30 min

In Accident
A 38-year-old Merrill man was
struck and killed by an automo
bile as he was standing at the
rear of his car in the middle
of Highway 66, about five miles
west of Keno, 6 p.m., Saturday,
Oregon State Police reported
Monday.
In another accident, Ronald
Allen Zengle, 21, of Eugene, and
his passengers escaped injury
when the car he was driving
went out of control on icy pave
ment, skidded broadside for 158
feet, and rolled over about one
quarter mile north of Worden,
9:45 a.m., Sunday. The vehicle
sustained moderate damage.
Killed in the rearend collision
near Keno was John L. Stuart
Lansing, who was struck down
by a vehicle operated by John
Ellis Wolfe, 18, of Eagle Point,
as it came over a rise in the
highway.
Two of four passengers in Lan
sing's car were arrested by
state police and lodged in the
county jail for being drunk on a
public highway. They were J. D.
Golden and Thomas Reginald
Chavez, both 52. The other pas
sengers were Joseph Henry
Bray, 41, and William Charles
Freeman, 26.
Police records indicate that
Lansing had parked his car in
the middle of the highway and
went to the rear of the vehicle.
He was standing there when
Wolfe's car came over a Nil
and could not be stopped in time
to avoid striking the victim.
Both vehicles had been headed
west at the time of the acci

DALLAS (UPDJack Ruby

But Jack Ruby, 52 years old,

Jack Ruby lived high. He had
a temper that kept him in trou

class. His "class" brought him
to courts to face such charges
as assault and curfew violation.
Ruby was known to police in
both Chicago and Dallas as a
promoter who favored gim

Ruby was born Jack Leon
