When that did not happen, Ruby was put on alert to monitor him at the station.
When Oswald begins to be shocked at what has happened, he tries to call Hurt. THat was the signal that he wanted to consult with his controllers through a cut out.
And that was it. Whoever was the CIA liason with the Mafia said, "That's it. Make the phone call. Use whatever threats you have to."
This conforms to the previous level of meticulous planning. Once they fail to kill Oswald they go into regrouping and defensive strategy. The previous M.O. of meticulous world-class espionage level of planning returns when Jack Ruby is set-up with sophisticated alibis of needing to go to the Western Union and just so happened to be in the area by chance. Oswald's being in the Police station is obviously a mistake needing extreme actions to resolve. A low-level conspirator is the man who draws the short end of the stick because his position in the mob leaves him with an offer he can't refuse. Anyone who believes Jack Ruby, a low-level mafia nightclub owner, gave up the rest of his life out of a sense of honorable outrage and a need to protect the fair lady Jacqueline from having to undergo the trauma of a trial, is a laughable buffoon. Posner's venereal-fevered Ruby going through a sweating mania over the assassination is actually a mob member in distress over being given what is probably the most important order in mafia history.
