Description: This listing is for an INCREDIBLY RARE ORIGINAL TYPE 1 (developed from the camera original negative in November of 1963) Kodak black and white photo, approximately 3 1/2" x 5" in size. The photo is the official standing profile mugshot of Jack Ruby. It was taken on November 24, 1963 by the Dallas Police Department following the killing of Lee Harvey Oswald by Ruby. THE PHOTO, WHICH HAS BEEN PRESERVED VERY NICELY OVER THE PAST 59+ YEARS, ORIGINATES FROM A RETIRED AND DECEASED DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT OFFICER'S PERSONAL JFK ASSASSINATION FILE. THE OFFICER WAS INVOLVED IN THE INVESTIGATION. Jack Leon Ruby (March 25, 1911 - January 3, 1967) was the Dallas, Texas night club owner who fatally shot Lee Harvey Oswald on November 24, 1963, while Oswald was in police custody after being charged with assassinating President John F. Kennedy and the murder of Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit two days earlier. A Dallas jury found Ruby guilty of murdering Oswald, and he was sentenced to death. Ruby's conviction was later appealed, and he was granted a new trial. However, as the date for his new trial was being set, Ruby became ill in his prison cell and subsequently died of a pulmonary embolism from lung cancer on January 3, 1967. A VERY SMALL NUMBER OF THE ORIGINAL DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT JACK RUBY MUGSHOT PHOTOS EXIST OUTSIDE OF THOSE INCLUDED IN THE OFFICIAL DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT AND NATIONAL ARCHIVES FILES! AN EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL RELIC FROM THE INVESTIGATION INTO ONE OF THE DARKEST WEEKENDS IN OUR NATION'S HISTORY! A TRUE CENTERPIECE TO ANY JFK ASSASSINATION COLLECTION! I HAVE ATTACHED TO THE LISTING, FOR REFERENCE ONLY, AN IMAGE OF RUBY WITH 2 OF HIS STRIPPERS STANDING OUTSIDE OF HIS CAROUSEL CLUB IN DALLAS, AN IMAGE OF THE SAME CLUB TAKEN AFTER HE WAS ARRESTED FOR KILLING OSWALD, AND THE FAMOUS BOB JACKSON PHOTO OF RUBY SHOOTING OSWALD. Professional and secure USPS shipping is FREE! Thanks for checking out my listing!
