Today the group that had the powerpoint on Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby finished up their presentation. Lee Harvey Oswald left his wedding ring and $170 dollars at his house the day of the assassination. That same day he returned to Dallas and was carrying a long paper bag with him, which more than likely had the rifle inside. Oswald was last seen by a co-worker ,alone, on the sixth floor of the depository about 30 minutes before the assassination. After he shot Kennedy he hid the rifle behind some boxes, and left the depository. On his way out he encountered a police officer and Oswald's supervisor. Since Oswald was an employee he was allowed pass and left the building. He was the only employee to leave the building so his supervisor wrote down his name and gave it to the police. Then he shot Police Officer J.D. Tippitt. Next Oswald went into hiding in the Texas Theatre without paying so the ticket clerk called the police and they found the man that killed JFK.At 11:21 am Sunday, November 24 1963, while he was handcuffed to Detective Leavelle, Oswald was shot by Jack Ruby in front of a national television audience. Jack Ruby was a night club owner who was said to be distraught over the Kennedy assassination. Ruby died in 1967 of lung cancer four years after Oswald and Kennedy had died.Today I learned that Oswald was the ONLY employee to leave the depository after the assassination, which made him a prime suspect. I also learned that he hid the rifle in a paper bag on the way into the building, and hid it behind some boxes on the way out. I also heard for the first time he killed a police officer after the assassination. I also learned that Ruby, Oswald, and Kennedy all died at the same hospital. The hospital that they all died in was the Parkland Hospital in Dallas. I think that it is very interesting they all died in the same place.
