After first coming to Dallas in 1947,.JACK RUBY

returned in late 1947 to Chicago for a short time, but

returned when his sister, EVAGANT, indicated she needed

his help in running the Singapore Club.

He then returned, put the money he had into the

Singapore Club, and according to JACK RUBY, changed the

name of the club to the Silver Spur. He continued to

operate this club, and in 1952, also took over the operation

of BOB WILLS' Ranch House Club. Shortly thereafter he vent

broke and lost control of both clubs, returning to Chicago

for a short time.

Within a year he returned to Dallas and again took

over running the Silver Spur, continuing to operate it until

about 1956. He also took over the Hernando's Hideaway, which

he operated for about three months and then opened the Club

Vegas, in which JOE BONDS was his partner. He continues to

operate the Club Vegas, although his sister, EVA GRANT, has

been doing most of the management.

In 1960, JACK RUBY took over the operation of the

Sovereign Club, a private club catering to professional people,

primarily doctors. In December, 1961, RUBY converted this to

a public club known as the Carousel Club, which he still

operates as a striptease joint at 13121 Commerce Street. I.

Texas, have an interest in this club.

as a promoter, stating that in addition to running various clubs,

he has uauaily been promoting items such as prefabricated log

cabins and a dietary iron supplement. He is interested in weight

lifting and is a strong believer in physical fitness and

particularly cultivates the friendship of doctors.

Department, commencing 'with the time that an officer named

JOHNNY SIDES was killed. JACK RUBY held a benefit for him

at his club and turned the proceeds over to the officer's

family. RUBY encouraged police officers frequenting his

club and gave them jobs and would give them free dinners and

drinks, and make women and in to • vailable to

officers, according to also an b7C

innate of the Texas Penal System. stated RUBY carried

a card indicating he was an honorary peace offices

According to CARL A. DOLSEN and others, JACK RUBY

is noted for being a hot tempered individual who resorts to

fisticuffs on the spur of the moment and received the nick-

name SPARKT,before coming to Dallas because of this trait.

DOLSEN, who-books striptease acts, stated that JACK RUBY has

violent moods and intense anger and recalled occasions when

RUBY has struck people in a sudden fit of anger. DOLSEN

recalled that on one occasion he discontinued a conversation

with RUBY because he thought RUBY was going to hit his. MO

also recalled that on one occasion RUBY approached two or

three Hungarian refugees standing on a street corner at night

and without provocation,suddenly attacked these men and beat

them severely.

FRANK FERRARO, New Haven, Connecticut, advised that

in 1962, while employed as • handyman at the Carousel Club,

Dallas, for JACK RUBY, he got into an argument at the Horseshoe

Bar, Dallas, went to the Carousel, where he changed his shirt

and coat, and then went to the Lasso Bar nearby. JACK RUBY

came in and told FERRARO not to threaten his or cause his

friends any trouble and then hit FERRARO three or tour times

with brass knuckles, causing a wound over FIRRARO's left eye,

which was treated at Parkland Hospital, Dallas.

According to BRENT H. BICKERS, former operator of a

night club in Dallas, JACK RUBY on occasion could not pay his

striptease performers, and when they asked him for their pay,

he would get sad and beat them up. Because of these reports,

BICKERS barred RUBY from the University Club, which BICKERS

was then operating.

According to RAIL RUBY, Southfield, Michigan, brother

of JACK RUBY, JACK carried a gun, and whin be asked JACK 'why

be carried a gun, JACK told him it was because he often had a

large amount of cash in his possession from his business.

religious, and JACK often visited him on Jewish religious

holidays and is a member of a local 40vish congregation. 114 1•

hA becomes physically violent on very short notice although

he usually does not hold a grudge.

An undated letter contained in an envelope postmarked December 31, 1983, at Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, was received by Attorney General ROBERT F. KENNEDY. The following is a translation of this letter:

I ask you to forgive these few bold lines addressed to so distinguished a person.

Mr. ROBERT, I am a Mexican by race and nationality. Also, Mr. ROBERT, I am communicating with you because I do not trust anyone in the matter I intend to deal with.

I am referring to the death of your brother. Perhaps, my information may prove quite helpful even though various officials of the United States may be involved and affected by it. I, your servant, am willing to identify them. I will tell you only later; however, with patience. It concerns the plan which I never thought would be carried out.

I used to be a friend of LEE OSWALD, and also of ALBERT, as well as three more people. I knew about the plan, but I never thought that it would turn out to be a true plan. •

I lost their friendship because I did not accept to introduce Communist propaganda into my Mexico. To be more specific, I separated from them and never saw them again until I found out about the death of the President, your brother.

Forgive me for not explaining any more, but it is an extremely delicate subject for you and for me. I ask you to see to it that justice is done now

that this is in your possession.

Signed YLARIO ROJAS, Manuel Acuna 1367, Guadalajara

Upon interview on January 10, 1964, YLARIO ROJAS VILLANUEVA, 1367 Manuel Acuna Street, Guadalajara, Jalisco,

Mexico, furnished the following information:

In either June or July, 1962, ROJAS was in Mexico City on a visit and was sitting in a park in the Tlalpan

area when he was approached by a Cuban who talked to him about smuggling Cuban propaganda into Mexico. The Cuban

said he would see him later in Guadalajara.

Around the middle of August, 1962, the Cuban arrived in Guadalajara in an automobile, a description of which ROJAS

was unable to furnish, and drove ROJAS in the automobile to Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, across from El Paso. They drove

at night and arrived at Ciudad Juarez in the forenoon. ROJAS

went to a movie in a theater, the name of which he cannot

recall, in Ciudad Juarez and apparently the Cuban went over

into El Faso.

When the movie was over, ROJAS was pic%ed up in front of the theater by the Cuban, who at that time introduced

him to an individual. ROJAS has no independent memory of this

individual's name, but recognizes him by photograph as LEE

HARVEY OSWALD. The three went to a bar where they discussed

the introduction of CASTRO propaganda into Mexico via Cozumel,

an island located off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula.

-2-

I

Sr I

■••

They talked at length, including discussion of everyday

matters, for about four hours, and they also did quite a

bit of drinking. The Cuban apparently turned his car over

to OSWALD, and the Cuban and ROJAS spent the night in a

hotel in Ciudad Juarez, name and location of which hotel

ROJAS cannot remember. ROJAS said he did not sign a register

since"the Cuban was paying all the expenses.

ROJAS said the following morning they left Ciudad

Juarez on a flight of Aeronaves de Mexico and flew to Monterrey. After a short stop in Monterrey, they proceeded

directly to Guadalajara. It is to be noted that Aeronaves

de Mexico has no such flight as that described by ROJAS.

After arrival in Guadalajara the Cuban gave ROJAS 400 pesos

($32 U.S.) and told him he would receive further instructions

at a later date.

In about the latter part of December, 1962, the

Cuban came to Guadalajara and gave ROJAS 900 pesos ($72 U.S.)

and told him to proceed to Cozumel by bus within about five / f.t.,!;=

days. ROJAS, went to Cozumel as instructed, arriving there L,-

just after Christmas, 1962. There he was met by two Cuban - ql

men and a Cubanwo1114.4Whose first name wa'kt/STINA.7--ROJAS

explained that, iithough he cannot recall the names of the

Cubans, he has written down in a noteboo!7 which he 114 t C0

left with DANSE OLIS, arya I if—L

ROJAS stated SOLIS would not deliver the book to anyone but

him.

About December 28, 1962, OSWALD arrived in Cozumel,

having proceeded there from Jamaica via Compania Mexicana de

Aviacion (CMA). OSWALD, the three Cubans, and ROJAS again

discussed the introduction of Cuban propaganda into Mexico,

ta'ing it off boats on the high seas, then to Cozumel, and

from there by boat to the mainland of Yucatan where it would be taken inland by either bus or truck. During the time of these discussions OSWALD and the three Cubans stayed at the

Hotel Playa in Cozumel and ROJAS stayed with DANIEL SOLIS.

07!ALD remained in Cozumel for two or three days and then returned to Jamaica by air. The three Cubans and ROJAS continued to reside in Cozumel until about February 15,

-3-

1.: ! hi

1963, when OSWALD again came to Cozumel from Jam Ica. On

this occasion 034ALD stayed three days in Clymel. The day ue after his arrival an American by the name ALBERT'arrivediriT,

from Jamaica. All conversations between this American,

034ALD, and the three Cubans were in the English language,

ROJAS stating that all three Cubans spoke very good English.

The Cuban woman, CRISTINA, told ROJAS that they had discussed

the elimination of President KENNEDY. She stated that

OSIALD was for killing President KENNEDY, but that ALBERT and the Cubans did not agree with 0S7ALD.

ROJAS stated that he has ALBERT's last name entered

in the notebook which is in the possession of DANIEL SOLIS.

He claimed he got ALBERT'S name from a United States Government

credential in the bath house of the Hotel Islena where

ALBERT stayed. ALBERT returned to the United States via

Jamaica the day after his arrival in Cozumel. ROJAS was told

by CRISTINA that 03WALD had stated to the Cubans that he and ALBERT had laid plans to eliminate the President. OSWALD

allegedly stated that, no matter what the opposition, he

would have to go through with it because otherwise he might

lose his life, indicating that he was acting under orders.

ROJAS stayed on in Cozumel until early March, 1963,

and then returned by bus to Guadalajara. He stated that he

never helped to bring in any Cuban propaganda to Mexico and

wanted to break relations with the Cubans. For this reason he moved to his present address in Guadalajara without

leaving a forwarding address because he fears the Cubans may

try to contact him again.

ROJAS could not explain why he cannot remember the

names of the three Cubans in Cozumel after having been with

them for nearly three months. He described the first Cuban

in Cozumel as a man about 40 years of age, five feet eight to

nine inches in height, heavy build, dark brown hair, medium

complexion, wearing small mustache. The second Cuban who

was in Cozumel was described as about 45 years of age, five

feet nine to ten inches in height, medium build, medium dark

complexion, short beard, dark brown in-color.

-4-

Z rziove.ig "'° wuye agai:K*004Sark

CRISTINA was described as a female Cuban, about 29

years of age, five feet three to four inches in height, medium build, medium complexion, black hair, brown eyes.

The American named ALBERT was described as a white

American, about 55 years of age, six feet in height, medium

build, brown hair, light complexion, wearing Texas type hat.

CRISTINA told ROJAS that ALBERT was from Mississippi.

ROJAS stated he is willing to go anywhere if his

expenses are paid to make any identification and to pick up

hiz notebook with the full names of the individuals mentioned.

It was noted during the interview that he appeared sincere,

but stated he is desperately in need of money. He lives in

a slum area of Guadalajara. He is 31 years of age, about five

feet nine inches in height, medium build, dark brown hair,

dark complexion, brown eyes, and has a mustache.

in late'December, 1962, and again in February, 1963, the .%;

logical ports of entry in Mexico for such travel would be

either Merida, Yucatan, or Cozumel. A check is presently

being made of the central Mexican Immigration records to

ascertain whether these records reflect any travel on the

part of OSWALD into Merida or Cozumel at the times indicated.

Copies of the attached letterhead memorandum were

disseminated locally to the Charge d'Affaires of the Embassy .

and to the CIA: . A

COPIES

Four extra copies of this letter are attached for

forwarding by the Bureau, together with copies of the letterhead

memorandum, to Dallas, office of origin, and to El Paso for

information and possible use in the future in the event it

becomes necessary to conduct investigation there in connection

with ROJAS' allegation concerning the trip with the Cuban 'to

Ciudad Juarez where he allegedly met OSWALD.

Will report the results of the check of Mexican

Immigration records and will conduct all other investigation

in 1953, and was first introduced to KENNAN, according to his . recollection, as a person who had been in Cuba following the CASTRO led revolution there.

ALCARAZ ARAGON advised that he could not recall who it was who had introduced him to KENNAN, but that it was undoubtedly one of many American students with whom ALCARAZ ARAGON has been associated in Mexico over the past two years. • ALCARAZ ARAGON said he had, in the past, roomed with an American student in Me::ico City and had come to know many of these students. He e:Tlained that names of Americans are difficult for him to comprehend or remember because he is a Mexican national and American names are difficult for him to grasp.

ALCARAZ ARAGON further advised that when KENNAN was in MTXJ.00 in 1962 and 1963, it was the former's under-standing that KENNAN unsuccessfully tried to secure a visa from Cuban authorities in Mexico City in order to be able to travel to Cuba.

ALCARAZ ARAGON said that when he engaged in the dis- • cussion concerning OSWALD with his girl friend, BARRIE MILLMAN, it was public knowledge that OSWALD had been in Mexico City prior to the assassination of President KENNEDY and he said he did 'Mention to MILLMAN that OSWALD may have been acquainted with KENNAN, since both of these individuals were reportedly adherents of the Communist ideology and both had visited in Mexico.

ALCARAZ ARAGON stated definitely that he had never met anyone he could identify as OSWALD in the company of KENNAN, although he had seen other Americans in the company of KENNAN at various times in Sanbcrr's Restaurant, which is adjacent to the American Embassy building In Mexico City.

• ALCARAZ ARAGON examined various photographs of OSWALD . . and stated that he cannot identify these photographs as being 'possibly identical with anyone he has ever seen in Mexico and • definitely cannot identify photographs of OSWALD as anyone he ever saw in the company of KENNAN.

ALCAPAZ ARAGON also mentioned that he had never discussed the possibility of a friendship between KENNAN and OSWALD with anyone other than BARRIE MILLMAN and that this discussion was merely speculative. He said that he and MILLMAN were "chatting" about the alleged assassin, OSWALD, when-the mentioned STEVE KENNAN as a person who might have been associated with OSWALD purely because KENNAN is an alleged prro-Cormunist and was in Mexico in 1963, as was OSWALD. ALCARAZ in summation, stated he has no concrete data !!!rich vcrld piece Krimur in contact with OSWALD.

ALCATAZ ARAGON also mentioned that it is rather obvious that 3ARRIE MILLMAN has brought up his conversation with her durinz discussions with someone in California which has led to the mistaken belief that he had met OSWALD in Mexico.

On January 22, 1964, VON PEACOCK, Acting Director,

Friends Service Center, Calle Ignacio Mariscal #132, Mexico,__

D. F., a charitable and religious center operated in Mexico

by the Quaker religious organization, viewed various photo-

graphs of OSWALD and stated he was certain that OSWALD had

never visited the Friends Service Center in Mexico City..

PEACOCK felt that he would have known of any contact OSWALD

might have had with the Center if such contact had taken place

because he is'usually around the Center on a daily basis and

is well acquainted with most of the persons who visit there.

VON PEACOCK was well acquainted-with HOMOBONO

ALCARAZ ARAGON and stated he has no knowledge of any possible

connection between ALCARAZ ARAGON and OSWALD.

PEACOCK also advised that he has heard that a' Friends

Society member in the state of Texas had reportedly befriended

either OSALD or the wife of 0,TJALD, but that he knew nothing

about ally connection OS.:IALD may have had with any Friends

Society member in Mexico. PEACOCK felt that OSWALD had no

association with Friends Society members or affiliates in

Mexico because of FEACOCK's familiarity with persons affiliated

with this Society's activities in Mexico.
