JFK Treasure Trove Revealed

Numerous items related to the JFK assassination were revealed to the public today after having spent years forgotten in a Dallas courthouse safe, the Dallas Morning News reports. Brass knuckles and a holster belonging to Jack Ruby were in the safe, as was a lucrative contract signed by Ruby prosecutor Henry Wade for a film that was never made.

"We have nothing to hide," said the Dallas County DA, who acknowledged that a record of a conversation, almost certainly fictional, between Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald "will open up the debate as to whether or not there was a conspiracy to assassinate the president." The contents of the safe, which also held clothing probably belonging to Oswald and Ruby, will be scanned and donated to museums.
