	[Larry Craford](https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKcrafard.htm) testified before the [Warren Commission](https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKwarrenR.htm) that on 23rd November, 1963, he went with Ruby and [George Senator](https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKsenator.htm) to photograph an "Impeach Earl Warren" billboard in Dallas.

	The journalist [Dorothy Kilgallen](https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKkilgallen.htm) had a source within the [Warren Commission](https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKwarrenR.htm).

	Kilgallen's reporting brought her into contact with [Mark Lane](https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKlaneM.htm) who had himself received an amazing story from the journalist [Thayer Waldo](https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKwaldo.htm).

Tippet](https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKtippet.htm) and [Bernard Weismann](https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKweissmanB.htm) had a meeting at the Carousel Club eight days before the assassination. Waldo, who worked for the _[Fort Worth Star-Telegram~~](http://www.star-telegram.com/)_~~, was too scared to publish the story. He had other information about the assassination. However, he believed that if he told Lane or Kilgallen he would be killed. Kilgallen's article on the Tippit, Ruby and Weissman meeting appeared on the front page of the _[Journal American~~](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Journal_American)_~~. Later she was to reveal that the [Warren Commission]~~(https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKwarrenR.htm)~~ were also tipped off about this gathering.

	During his trial Ruby claimed he had killed [Lee Harvey Oswald]~~(https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKoswald.htm)~~ because he "couldn't bear the idea of the President's widow being subjected to testifying at the trial of Oswald". Later he changed his mind claiming that his lawyer, [Tom Howard](https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKhowardT.htm), had put him up to saying it. He now pleaded guilty by reason of insanity. On March 14, 1964, the jury convicted Jack Ruby of killing Oswald and sentenced him to death.
