60 YEARS AGO TODAY:
6/7/64 – Jack Ruby is brought in to testify before The Warren Commission. The questioning took place in the interrogation room of The Dallas County Jail, with Chief Justice Earl Warren and US Congressman (and future US President) Gerald Ford present.
Questioning began at 11:45 am and lasted for three hours. During his testimony, Ruby told The Commission, "I would like to be able to get a lie detector test or truth serum of what motivated me to do what I did at that particular time … and it seems as you get further into something, even though you know what you did, it operates against you somehow, brainwashes you, that you are weak in what you want to tell the truth and what you want to say which is the truth."
Also on 6/7, Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas make their American television debut on “The Ed Sullivan Show”
