Written in both English longhand and in shorthand, this original court reporter's notebook from the preliminary trial of Jack Ruby for murder, contains nearly 200 pages of testimony by various witnesses and experts, including a psychiatrist declaring Ruby manic depressive. The court reporter's notebook covers hearings that took place on 20 and 21 January 1964, in the preliminary hearings leading up to Ruby's trial which took place 4-14 March 1964. Includes nearly 200 notebook pages of testimony in shorthand, with portions translated into longhand. Testimony includes interviews with Police Chief Curry, who took Ruby's gun away from him after the shooting, Dr. John Hollbrook, the psychiatrist who first saw Ruby after the killing, and others. Most of the questioning in the notebook is conducted by Ruby's lawyer, San Francisco defense attorney Melvin Belli. Also includes questioning by Dallas prosecutor, Bill Alexander. Headline on first page of notebook reads, ''Ruby hring Contd. / Jan 20, 1964,'' and begins with a psychiatrist, who is not named, discussing Ruby's mental state. In part, ''…he remembered that he had a gun. I am not certain whether it was Fri and Sat, or Fri, or Sat…I would say he had the gun both days in his clothes…Q. Let's suppose this…actually did remember shooting Oswald but he told you that he did not, would that make any difference in your evaluation of him? A. Well I…account for the kind of behavior, the movements and the total picture of motion, the action and the thinking as it was altogether. I can't go on one answer. Q. Am I to understand that it is your opinion that at the time that he shot Oswald that he was suffering from a functional mental psychosis? A. I feel that in December he was still depressed but I think he is not depressed as much now. Q. What sort of a malady would you call this that he is suffering? A. A depression. It's called a depression…full name is manic depressive psychosis….Q. It is opinion that he was in a fugue state? A. Shooting and the movements were a fugue, the actual movements were…. Q. He had in this fugue state, his mind was cut loose from his body, as for as what he was doing, in other words, he had no conscious knowledge of what he was doing? A. You can put it that way…He was preset to attack punch…he's a fighting man and that means that he is geared up for physical action…I don't think he has delusions of grandeur but I do think he has a grandiose tendency. I do think he has a paranoid tendency. It comes out in other areas than this particular offense…Q. Did Jack Ruby tell you that he saw the smile on Oswald's face when Oswald was in his presence…that was what triggered off the shooting? A. I can't say he told me that the smile triggered it…'' Chief Jesse Curry's testimony discusses finding Ruby's gun: ''…a dispassionate jury would award death sentence / capital punishment…discussing times of Oswald's movement…subpoena to give to you evidence in the case at ten o'clock and to bring with you the pistol, the gun taken from Jack Ruby immediately following the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald on Nov. 24, '63 and the money taken from Jack Ruby November 24, 1963.'' In the following testimony it is unclear who is being interviewed: ''…he put that in his side pocket. He once told me a .38 Wesson hammerless revolver he had for some time…Q. Did he tell you of going down to Cuba after Castro was in power…Do you recall when he said he was down there? A. August 1959…He told you he had no intention of shooting him? He told you the matter hadn't even occurred to him? A. Yes sir. He offered at the time to take a lie detector test or truth serum test to support what he had told you? A. No sir.'' Brown notebook measures 6'' x 9'' and is in very good condition. A fascinating account with early, unfiltered content on the motives and behavior of Lee Harvey Oswald's killer.

Hi Dinesh,

No lot may be transferred. All property shall be shipped at the purchaser’s expense.
