Items tied to JFK killing unveiled

Items related to the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy that had been locked inside a Dallas courthouse for nearly two decades were revealed by Dallas County Dist. Atty. Craig Watkins. They include a purported transcript of a conversation between assassin Lee Harvey Oswald and Oswald’s killer, nightclub owner Jack Ruby; a leather gun holster that held the weapon Ruby used to shoot Oswald; and a movie contract signed by Henry Wade, the district attorney when Kennedy and Oswald were killed.

Watkins said he learned of the cache last year and decided “this information was too important to keep secret.”
