"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Official ''State of Texas vs. Jack Ruby / Murder'' subpoena signed by Marguerite Oswald ordering her to testify in the Jack Ruby trial at the Dallas County courthouse, dated 10 March 1964. Issued just four days before Ruby was convicted of murdering Lee Harvey Oswald, for which he received a death sentence. Reads: ''The State of Texas / To Any Sheriff or Any Constable of the State of Texas--Greeting: You Are Hereby Commanded to Summon / Marguerite Oswald, Dallas County Courthouse, Dallas, Texas to personally appear before the Honorable Criminal Defense Court No. 3 of Dallas County, Texas, at the Courthouse in the City of Dallas County, on Instanter...in behalf of the State, in a Cause pending in said Court wherein the State of Texas is Plaintiff and Jack Ruby Defendant...'' With signatures of two Texas deputies. Marguerite Oswald signs the subpoena in the ''Witnesses'' section of the document: ''This is the actual subpoena served me in the Jack Ruby trial. However, I was never called as a witness. Marguerite C. Oswald''. Marguerite Oswald's writing is very faded and tape remnants affect a few of her words. Two page document (front and verso) measures 7'' x 8.5''. One tear starting along center fold, else very good condition.
