Harrelson, a Dallas based hoodlum with connections to Carlos Marcello and Jack Ruby (2, 208). Records show that a man was taken into custody from the Dal-Tex building, and he was a Latin speaking man with no comprehension of English (2, 209). There is no account of his name or testimony. Jim Braden, a convicted embezzler, was taken into custody and placed in the building during the time of the assassination. He was also noted as having a room at the hotel The Cabana. The hotel Cabana was visited by Jack Ruby, a Dallas strip club owner and right hand man for Carlos Marcello, the night before the assassination (2, 208). Jack Ruby, the man who killed Oswald in the Dallas Police Department, was a Dallas henchman for David Ferrie, Carlos Marcello’s right hand man (1). Ruby was a trusted go between for the Mafia (3). In fact, Ruby may have been in charge of carrying out the set up of Oswald after the assassination because reports had identified him as being in the Parkland hospital directly following the assassination (3). He is believed to have planted the “magic bullet” in the hospital while checking to see if the president had died (3). Ruby knew Oswald, who had served in the Civil Air Patrol under David Ferrie (2, 216). Madeline Brown, Lyndon Johnson’s Texas lover, said that, in a nightclub in 1953, Jack Ruby had introduced her to Lee Harvey Oswald (3). So why would Ruby kill Oswald if he knew him? It may have been for the same reason that Tippet had been killed and found with two sets of bullets in him, none of which matched the gun that Oswald was carrying (3). It follows a particular pattern of the Mafia. If you are told to kill someone, and except the job, you have to finish the job or you will be killed (3). Officer Tip...
