In the previous paragraphs, Mark Lane continued demonstrated how the Warren
Commission lied about Ruby and his many connections with the police department.
Billy Clarke, and indeed *all* LNT'ers - have continued their silence... and, as
one Amazon forum kook suggested, silence is tacit agreement.
"Ruby was also permitted to violate the law by serving drinks after midnight.
James Barragan, a Dallas nightclub owner, told agents of the FBI that these
violations took place openly and in the presence of uniformed officers of the
police. Barragan said that the last time he saw Ruby at the Carousel 'there were
approxi-mately six uniformed officers of the Dallas Police Department present'.
He
said he recalled 'thinking at the time that Ruby must have friends in the police
department as drinks were still being served after midnight even though the
police
were present'. Ruby boasted that the police let him 'get away with things at his
club' because of his friendship with them, according to Janet Adams Conforto, a
former employee. A dancer, Joan Leavelle, related to Detective Leavelle to whom
Oswald was handcuffed when he was shot, said that the Dallas police allowed Ruby
to run a rougher show than other clubs in Dallas.
Ruby was arrested eight times in ten years for violations of the nightclub
regulations and other criminal acts, including acts of violence. According to
Commission Exhibit 1528, he was not convicted once. He was arrested twice for
carrying a concealed weapon and once for 'violation of peace bond', but the
record
shows 'no charges filed'. Ruby was arrested once for violating the state liquor
law and twice for 'permitting dancing after hours', but the complaints were
dismissed without the formality of a trial. There was 'no further disposition'
for
permitting dancing after hours, and an arrest for 'ignoring traffic summons'
also
shows 'no further disposition'. A charge of assault � 'subject involved in fight
with complainant for no apparent reason' and 'hit complainant in face several
times with fists' � was resolved when Ruby was found not guilty. In all his
encounters with the law in Dallas before November 24, 1963, Ruby was exceedingly
fortunate.
In some instances a complaint was filed but Ruby was not even arrested. Irvin C.
Mazzei, the Western Regional Director of the Associated Guild of Variety
Artists,
said to agents of the FBI that Ruby told him that 'he had just squashed a
complaint against him for beating one of his dancers'. He did it, he told
Mazzei,
with the assistance of'his friends in the Dallas Police Department'."
Mark Lane is showing the corroborating evidence for what he's demonstrated via
eyewitness testimony - that Ruby had a great number of friends in the Dallas PD.
