Description

Jack Ruby’s twice-signed and notarized mortgage

Shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald, accused assassin of president John F. Kennedy, on November 24, 1963. A Dallas nightclub owner with several minor arrests, he fired his handgun as Oswald was being transferred in the basement garage of Dallas police headquarters; the killing was broadcast on live television. Ruby was arrested, tried, and sent to prison; he died there of cancer in 1967. DS, one page, 8 x 4.25, April 24, 1951, County of Dallas, Texas. Portion of a mortgage document which has been separated into three pieces and affixed at the edges to a larger card (could easily be repaired for a framed presentation). The first signature, “Jack L. Ruby,” appears at top right, beneath that is the notary public’s inclusion of Ruby’s name, then Ruby signs again “Jack L. Ruby” on the “sworn to and subscribed” line. In fine condition, with separations as indicated earlier and collector’s notations on board. R&R COA.
