Our Jack Ruby was born Jacob Leon Rubenstein in Chicago on 3/25/1911. In a photo taken May 6, 1953 he would be 42 years old, which looks about right to me.
I noticed a couple of months ago that there was a VERY similar photo with Nixon and Prescott Bush and the hats but without Ruby, and I wondered then if one or the other was altered. But there are some obvious differences in the two photos, and I suspect they were both posed. Sure looks like Jack Ruby to me.
The man looks older than the Jack Ruby of 1963, and that was ten years later. The real Ruby was in Dallas in 1953 (he was arrested on July 26 for carrying a concealed weapon, but no charges were filed).
I almost thought the man was Hugo Black at first. The hat doesn't help in trying to identify him.
