DALLAS, Tex. (AP) —. An ap peal to Dallas area residents for information on Jack Ruby's whereabouts during the early days of September 1963 has been issued by three attorneys for New Orleans businessman Clay Shaw. Shaw is under indictment on a charge of conspiring to assas sinate President John F. Ken nedy. New Orleans Dist. Attv. Jim Garrison has alleged that Shaw met in a Baton Rouge, La., hotel on Sept. 3, 1963 with Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald, named by the Warren Commis sion as Kennedy’s assassin. ‘We believe that no such meet ing took place. We believe that between Sept. 1 and Sept. 5 Ruby was busy tending to his business at the Carousel Club.”’ Edward Wegmann, an attorney who has represented Shaw for 20 years, told a news conference here Fri day. “We are asking the residents of the Dallas area for help in establishing the whereabouts for Ruby during this time,’’ he said. Ruby, a Dallas night club op erator, has since died of can cer. The president was assas sinated Nov. 23, 1963 and two days later Ruby shot and killed Oswald in the Dallas city jail. Wegmann, his brother, Willia Wegmann, and F. Irvin Dymond, criminal attorney, spent Thurs day and Friday in Dallas, visit ing the assassination site and the surrounding area and interview ing a number of persons. They declined to say to whom they had talked but later during the news conference said that public officials “had been most cooperative.” Asked about the investigation of Garrison's office in the Dallas area, Dymond replied “We do not know what he has done. But we have found very little evi dence that the district attorney’s office had done any investigating here.’ The three said that they were returning to New Orleans, but they planned to be back in Dal las at a future date to resume their investigation. The 54-year-old Shaw, who once was director of New Or leans’ International Trade Mart, is now free under $10,000 bond.
