there is a man with a gun. it s absolute panic. absolute panic here in the basement of the dallas police headquarters. detectives have their guns drawn. there is no question about it. oswald has been shot at point blank range fired into his stomach. he s shot. he is shot. oswald it is oswald. did he shoot the man? or do you know? that s the man that shot the man. immediately after the shooting, our only witnesses that we could talk to were other reporters. where did he go pierre? he was here. they just put the gun there. i saw the flash on the black sweater. did you see the gun to his stomach? i saw right here. he was in a group of men right here. masquerading as one of us or what?
a half-hour later at the texas theater he resisted arrest by pulling his gun on the arresting officer. during 12 hours of interrogation by the dallas police department over the weekend, he told one provable lie after another. did you buy that rifle? that s the facts you people have been given but i emphatically deny these charges. within a day or so thereafter when they discovered what a complete nut this guy was, they were satisfied beyond all reasonable doubt that oswald had acted alone. there s only one thing i can tell you without going into the evidence that this case is cinched, that this man killed the president. there is no question in my mind about it. we plan to transfer this man, not tonight, he will be here by no later than 10:00 in the morning. why, it will that will be early enough for him. chief, do you have any concern for the safety of your
chair after the jury deliberated 2 hours and 25 minutes. just what do you think of this verdict? i believe that jack ruby was a paid killer to close the mouth of my son, lee harvey oswald. the question of whether ruby knew oswald before or was in cahoots to kill him is one of the most important questions. because ruby knew people in criminal activities, there was a lot of investigation about a potential conspiracy. ruby would have been one of the most unlikely and worst hit men that the mob could ever get. on november the 24th, 1963, lee harvey oswald is supposed to have been transferred at 10:00. at 10:00, the evidence is undisputed that jack ruby was at home asleep. then he got dressed and drove downtown. the receipt shows that ruby was sending a money order to one of his strippers from a western union office across from the courthouse at 11:17 a.m.
the president was shot. and a police officer is shot. and someone named lee harvey oswald is arrested. oswald may be a suspect in the assassination. who is he? lee oswald of dallas, a former marine who spent some time in russia who at one time had applied for soviet citizenship. the description that we had of the suspect in oak cliff was similar to the description we had and the man we were looking for as the assassin. but at that time we had not been able to connect it to him in any way. down in the third floor corridor, a crowd of cameramen reporters wait for the possible appearance of the man accused of killing the president and a dallas police officer. now, apparently a great deal of confusion. mr. oswald is put through the door. i don t know if you saw him,
i thought it was one of the detective. he had a hat. the situation is now that lee harold oswald has been shot. the man who saw the shot fired said it was fired by a man wearing a black hat, a brown coat, a man that everyone down here thought was a secret service agent. we can hear sirens outside and ambulance apparently is moving down now into the basement. here comes the ambulance. and oswald will be removed now. the ambulance is being pulled up in front of us here. here comes oswald, he s he is ashen and unconscious at this time, now being moved in. he is not moving. he s in the ambulance now. attendants, police are quickly moving in. the ambulance is leaving dallas police headquarters. where will he be taken? i m assuming parkland hospital. parkland hospital. ironies of ironies, the place where john f. kennedy died.
