A year after his conviction, in March 1965, Ruby conducted a brief televised news
conference in which he stated: "Everything pertaining to what's happening has
never come to the surface. The world will never know the true facts of what
occurred, my motives. The people who had so much to gain, and had such an
ulterior motive for putting me in the position I'm in, will never let the true facts
come above board to the world." When asked by a reporter: "Are these people in
very high positions Jack?" he responded "Yes."[Dallas Deputy Sheriff Al Maddox
claimed: "Ruby told me, he said, 'Well, they injected me for a cold.' He said it was
cancer cells. That's what he told me, Ruby did. I said you don't believe that ____.
He said, 'I damn sure do!' [Then] one day when I started to leave, Ruby shook
hands with me and I could feel a piece of paper in his palm.... [In this note] he
said it was a conspiracy and he said ... if you will keep your eyes open and your
mouth shut, you're gonna learn a lot. And that was the last letter I ever got from
him."
Not long before Ruby died, according to an article in the London Sunday Times, he
told psychiatrist Werner Teuter, that the assassination was "an act of overthrowing
the government" and that he knew "who had President Kennedy killed." He added:
"I am doomed. I do not want to die. But I am not insane. I was framed to kill
Oswald."[Eventually, the appellate court agreed with Ruby's lawyers for a new
trial, and on October 5, 1966, ruled that his motion for a change of venue before
the original trial court should have been granted. Ruby's conviction and death
sentence were overturned. Arrangements were underway for a new trial to be held
in February 1967, in Wichita Falls, Texas, when, on December 9, 1966, Ruby was
admitted to Parkland Hospital in Dallas, suffering from pneumonia. A day later,
doctors realized he had cancer in his liver, lungs, and brain.
Ruby made a final statement from his hospital bed on December 19 that he and
he alone had been responsible for the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald.["There is
nothing to hide," Ruby said. "There was no one else."
