Jack Ruby�s signature fedora commanded $53,775 Saturday at an auction
of items linked to the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

.....

The shackles that Ruby wore when he lay dying at Parkland Memorial
Hospital sold for $11,054.

The chain, believed to have been used to prevent his body from being
stolen, was expected to sell for at least $3,000.

An X-ray of Ruby�s head by a nervous radiological technologist
garnered $776 � about the price that was expected.

Another hot commodity at the auction was the front page of The Dallas
Morning News signed by Kennedy. The paper � worth a nickel when it
came off the presses in 1963 � sold for $38,837.

I don't know if you'll remember the case of the conman who sold fake JFK
artifacts, but his clients would spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on
fakes such as Marilyn Monroe letters to Kennedy, but they would never
donate even a dime to research.
