<B>Jack Ruby Autograph Manuscript</B></I> in pencil, not signed, two pages, 4” x 6”, front and verso. No date. In full, “<I>One nite about four in the morning, I had gone back to club, pick up Sheba, and as I got to the head of the stairs I heard the back door clang. I didn't know what to do, so I ran down to get my pistol but they had escaped through the back way from that time on I would never be without my pistol. Everything was sacked up ready to take out.</B></I>” At the bottom, in ink: “<I>Police know about this</B></I>” Ruby continues on verso, in pencil, “<I>Once I made a girl Gail Rave (dancer) give a dog back to some fellow who claimed he was from the syndicate. Ralph Smith from the Stork Club in Houston asked me about this same person and I told him to stay away from him.</B></I>” Sheba was his dog, the same dog he left in his car on November 24, 1963, when he walked into the nearby Dallas Police Station and shot Lee Harvey Oswald with the pistol he always carried after the incident he relates in this manuscript. Slight separation at the edge of the mid-horizontal fold.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
