Judyth Vary Baker: Living in Exile

[James H. Fetzer]

EVEN MORE FROM JUDYTH ABOUT JACK RUBY AND HIS DEATH:



There are actually a few years between the photos--but in fact, we do have the
YouTube photos in between showing when the Commission visited Jack Ruby.

Another file of interest:

In his book, JFK: The Second Plot (1992), Matthew Smith points out that Thomas H. Killam,
a man who worked for Jack Ruby, claimed that there was a link between his former employer, Lee
Harvey Oswald and the Mafia. He told his brother, "I am a dead man, but I have run as far as I am
running." Killam was found dead in an alley with his throat cut in March, 1964. Smith points out that
Dorothy Kilgallen also died in mysterious circumstances after interviewing Ruby iin November 1965.



Following the assassination, Rose Cheramie was interviewed by the police. She claimed that Lee
Harvey Oswald had visited Ruby's night club. In fact, she believed the two men were having a
homosexual relationship. Cheramie, the victim of a hit and run driver, was found dead on 4th
September, 1965.

In 1968, Joachim reported things differently than they have since been reported...we have heard,
ever since Joachim came out with the message below, that Ruby had at one time or another been ill.
But looking closely, we find that Ruby bashed his head against a wall, trying to kill himself, and tried
to electrocute himself--according to the police. His sister Eva said he was very ill a few weeks before
he was taken to Parkland Hospital. But that still means he was healthy until at least the end of October,
when all reports and records are examined.



Joachim's words have been challenged decades later. But Joachim, in fact, is reporting from 1968, and
has a closer view of everything than the cover-up artists who come along later. He wrote:

"Jack Ruby, on December 9, 1966, - exactly one day after he had learned that his new trial was going
to be held in February or March 1967 at Wichita Falls, about 140 miles from Dallas - was stricken with a
mysterious disease first diagnosed as a common cold, then as pneumonia and finally as generalized cancer.

For more than three years, with a death sentence hanging over his dead for most of the time, Ruby had
been as fit as a fiddle in the custody of Dallas Sheriff Bill Decker. At no time before December 9, had the
prison doctor who visited him regularly, detected any flaw in Ruby's splendid health. But now, with a new
trial in prospect in a different place, death quickly overtook the man who knew perhaps more than any
other living person (with the possible exception of David Ferrie, then still totally unknown to the public at
large) about the real background to the assassination. He passed away in the morning of January 3, 1967
- and another inconvenient trial was happily averted.



As always, my critics are likely to counter at this point with the challenge: 'Where is your evidence that Ruby was murdered?'

"The evidence is there, plain to see for anyone with an open mind, but it is purely circumstantial, not tangible. (The people who
arranged for Ruby's death, as they had previously arranged for the overt murders of President Kennedy, Patrolman Tippit and
Lee Harvey Oswald, to say nothing of the 20-odd witnesses who have also been disposed of, weren't stupid enough to leave
any palpable traces of what they had done.)" (from Spartacus website)
