Originally held together with metal brads. [Metal brads removed prior to transport to UNT for digitization. Per a discussion with Lindsey Richardson and Stephanie Allen-Givens, it was agreed to dispose of the metal brads since we would not be putting them back in the transcripts and there was no need to keep them for historical purposes.

Henry Wade. - Stephen Fagin, CuratorKaren Lynn Bennett Carlin, better known by her Carousel Club stage name "Little Lynn," was a key figure in the Oswald shooting story. In addition to testifying at Jack Ruby's trial, she was interviewed by the FBI on November 27, 1963, and testified to the Warren Commission twice in 1964. Just prior to shooting Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby wired $25 to Carlin in Fort Worth at the Western Union office near Dallas police headquarters. The time stamp on the receipt was 11:17 a.m., and Ruby shot Oswald at 11:21 a.m.. Investigators and researchers have used this short time span to demonstrate that Ruby's murder of Oswald in the basement of police headquarters was not premeditated or part of a plot, especially since Oswald was originally scheduled to be moved earlier that Sunday but was delayed due to additional interrogation.
When Bennett, age nineteen and pregnant at the time, appeared during Jack Ruby's bond hearing, she entered the Dallas County Criminal Courts building with a pistol in her handbag. She was arrested while attempting to enter the courtroom on December 23, 1963, and charged with carrying a concealed weapon. Nevertheless, she returned to the Criminal Courts building a few months later to testify at Ruby's trial on March 6, 1964. She was the first witness called by the defense. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
