Jack Ruby's Finger
Jerry
in an "arcane" source, like the WCR":
"In 1951, after his guitarist, Willis Dickerson, told Ruby to "go to
hell," Ruby knocked Dickerson to the ground, then pinned him to a wall
and kicked him in the groin. During the scuffle, Dickerson bit Ruby's
finger so badly that THE TOP HALF OF RUBY'S LEFT INDEX FINGER WAS
AMPUTATED." [Emphasis added]

Lifton throws out a flavored rawhide twist,
and you guys go after it like a pack of wild dogs after a real bone.

Did you have to look it up, Jerry? The source might not be arcane, but it is
news to Martin and to Lifton, who are experts by any measure on what's out
there. As I said, she can't win. If it's not well-known, she found it in a sly
attempt to concoct a provable claim. If it is well-known, then she adds nothing
new to the case. Don't worry: soon, I hope, she will drive you wild with new
stuff you won't believe and she can't prove.

Me neither. But it was played out in a book called Breaking the
Silence (or some such thing) by some guy named Tex who says he was
hired to teach Ruby to shoot......
I'm surprised that Ruby's deleted digit was unknown to so many people.

I don't know who was the first to point it out, by Lattimer was one of
them. Even a WC propagandist can sometimes stumble on the truth.
