Front matter is missing from this copy; document starts on page 2.

This copy is also missing page 65 -- which seems to include the introduction of a new witness, [Gary] DeLaune -- does not contain pages numbered 63 or 71 (it is unclear if content is missing, or if pagination was skipped), and has two consecutive pages numbered 106.

Additional description and context: Ex Parte Jack Ruby: Transcript of Hearing on Motion to Exclude Counsel.

Appearances: Joe Tonahill, Phil Burleson and Sam Houston Clinton Jr. all appeared for the defendant. Bill Alexander, Jim Williamson and Henry Wade for the prosecution. Judge Louis T. Holland presided.

Counsel Joe Tonahill argued to be kept on Jack Ruby's defense team. Phil Burleson, representing Ruby, argued against Tonahill. Prosecutor Bill Alexander made little contribution to the arguments. Both Earl Ruby (the defendant's brother) and the judge in the original trial, Judge Joe B. Brown, testified and were cross-examined by both sets of defense lawyers. Sol Dann was mentioned as the current lead counsel for the defense. At the end of the hearing, Jack Ruby testified about the lawyers, giving a long monologue during which he addressed many other topics, including his actions the day of the Oswald shooting.
