DALLAS (AP) - Long-hidden items and documents relating to the
1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy are being revealed
for the first time in decades.
Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins presented the
items at a news conference Monday. Watkins says they were locked in
a safe for nearly two decades and that investigators had made him
aware of them after he took office in 2006.
Among the items are documents relating to Kennedy assassin Lee
Harvey Oswald and his killer, Jack Ruby, including a transcript of
a purported conversation between them about killing the president.
Curator Gary Mack of the Sixth Floor Museum near where the
president was shot hasn't seen the transcript but doubts it is
real.
The items also include Ruby's brown leather gun holster, two
brass knuckles found on Ruby when he was arrested and a movie
contract former Dallas District Attorney Henry Wade signed.
