Dallas (UPI), — Dapper Jack Ruby, smiling and chip per, was back in jail today be cause his dramatic hearing for bail bond freedom became too complicated Monday. One of the strippers from his Carousel Club, Karen Lynn Little Lynn Bennett, 19, was charged with carrying a con cealed weapon, a 25-caliber snub-nose pistol into the coun ty courthouse. The dancer, a Witness at the hearing, later was released from jail on $1,000 bonds. Sheriff's officers said today the pistol was not loaded. An earlier report said there were shells in the clip. However, offi cers said there were no shells either in the clip or the firing chamber. Tom Howard, one of Ruby's attorneys, posted bond for the girl. Criminal Dist. Judge Joe B. Brown postponed the hearing unntil Jan. 10 after it had run for three hours and 25 minutes. The balding, 52-year-old man charged with murder in the slay ing of suspected presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was whisked back to jail. Ruby did not take the stand. There were five witnesses for the state and defense, including “Little Lynn,” who was led cry ing from the stand to jail be fore bond was posted. Melvin Belli, who led the dra matic defense, said he would offer more witnesses at the Jan. 10 hearing. Belli also asked that the murder trial be post poned from Feb. 3 to Feb. 10 “because of a conflict,” but Brown did not rule on the re quest. The San Francisco lawyer al so said he will formally request that the trial be moved from Dallas to another Texas city “be cause of statements that have been made and are being made by the Dallas News.” The defense sought freedom on bail for Ruby on the ground that he was temporarily insane when he clashed in front of na tional television cameras Nov. 24 and fired a snub-nosed pistol into Oswald's body. They con tended he needs psychiatric aid outside of jail.
