Description: Jack Leon Ruby born Jacob Leon Rubenstein [1911 1967] was a Dallas nightclub owner who on November 24, 1963, shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald who was in police custody after being charged with assassinating United States President John F. Kennedy. Ruby was convicted of the murder of Oswald and sentenced to death, but his conviction was later appealed and was granted a new trial. On January 3, 1967, as the date for a new trial was approaching, Ruby became ill in his prison cell and died of a pulmonary embolism from lung cancer. In 1964, the Warren Commission concluded that Ruby acted alone in Killing Oswald and was not part of a organized crime underworld plot surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Listed for auction is a stunning display which contains a [DS] document signed by Jack Ruby. The document is typed on the letterhead of Jack Ruby Associates and is dated 8th July 1959, the state of Texas, County of Dallas. The document is an agreement between Jack Ruby and ironically a gentleman named Buddy Kennedy. The document is signed as follows, Manager ''Jack Ruby'', Artist ''Buddy Kennedy'' in blue pen and is is also signed by the Notary Public at the bottom. The document measures 8.50 x 11.00 inches and is bright bold and in fine condition. Mounted below the document is an iconic image of Jack Ruby shooting Oswald as he was being transferred from the Dallas Police Department on November 24, 1963. The photograph is a b/w which measures 6.50 x 4.50 inches. Mounted below the photograph is a professionally engraved metal plaque which reads as follows, ''Jacob Leon Rubenstein ''Jack Ruby'' March 23, 1911 - January 3, 1967. Sunday, November 24, after driving into town and sending a check to one of his employees, Ruby walked to a nearby police headquarters and made his way to the basement. At 11:21 am CST while authorities were preparing to transfer Oswald by private car from the police basement to the nearby county jail - Ruby stepped out from a crowd of reporters and fired his .38 revolver into Oswald's abdomen, fatally wounding him. The shooting was broadcast live nationally and millions of television views witnessed it. There is some evidence that Ruby actions were on a whim, as he left his favorite dog, Sheba in the car before shooting Oswald.

The outer matte is a black linen which has been accented with a gold wood trim along with a inner black linen matte.
