Curatorial Commentary
In order to ensure its long-term care and preservation and to facilitate public access, the Dallas County District Attorney's Office placed their Jack Ruby Trial Collection (sometimes referred to as "the DA's Jack Ruby file") on long-term loan with The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza in 2017. The Museum is working to make the entire collection accessible through this online collections database.

Max I. Rudberg, owner and operator of AAA Bail Bonds Service, told the FBI in December 1963 that Jack Ruby briefly stopped by his office at 106 North Record around 11:00AM on Thursday, November 21, 1963. He was inquiring about an upcoming peace bond hearing in which Ruby was the defendant. The peace bond had been filed by a former Carousel Club performer, Janet Conforto, aka Jada. Rudberg went on to tell the FBI that he had known Ruby for some five years and that Ruby never gave "any indication of having any type political interests." Rudberg's FBI interview is detailed in Warren Commission Exhibit No. 2265. He passed away on June 23, 1972. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
