Ruby trial delayed by epilepsy pamphlet outside court
Eight men and two women have been accepted for jury, leaving two jurors to be found. Ruby on trial for the November 24 shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas. District Attorney Wade seeks the electric chair. Ruby’s lawyers argue epilepsy and insanity at the time. A National Epilepsy League pamphlet distributed to newsmen outside the courtroom triggered protests about obstructing justice and juror tampering, though police say no jurors received copies. Melvin Belli demanded a mistrial, which was denied. Classes later noted at Biddeford High School tonight and Thursday from 7 to 9.
