Transcript About JFK Assassination Found In Dallas Safe

Much of the attention is bound to focus on the transcript purporting that Ruby and Oswald met at Ruby's nightclub on Oct. 4, 1963, less than two months before the Nov. 22 assassination. In it, they talked of killing the president because the Mafia wanted to "get rid of'' his brother, attorney general Robert Kennedy. Says Oswald in the transcript, "I can still do it, all I need is my rifle and a tall building; but it will take time, maybe six months to find the right place; but I'll have to have some money to live on while I do the planning.'' Gary Mack, curator of the Sixth Floor Museum near where the president was shot, hasn't seen the transcript but doubts it's real. It is well-documented that Oswald was in Irving the evening of Oct. 4, at a home where his wife was staying, Mack said. "The fact that it's sitting in Henry Wade's file, and he didn't do anything, indicates he thought it wasn't worth anything,'' Mack said. "He probably kept it because it was funny. It's hilarious. It's like a bad B movie.'' Terri Moore, Watkins' top assistant, said she believes the latest transcript is part of a movie Wade was working on with producers. The former prosecutor wrote about the proposed movie, "Countdown in Dallas,'' in letters found in the safe. "It's not real. Crooks don't talk like that,'' Moore said. "If that transcript is true, then history is changed because Oswald and Ruby were talking about assassinating the president.'' The transcript resembles one published in a report by the Warren Commission, which investigated Kennedy's assassination and determined that Oswald was the lone gunman. The FBI determined that conversation between Oswald and Ruby about killing the governor was definitely fake. The account in the commission report was "re-created'' for authorities by a now-deceased Dallas lawyer who claimed he recognized Oswald in a newspaper photo as the man he saw talking to Ruby. ... http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20080217/jfk_documents_080217/20080217
