Additional description and context: Transcript of The State of Texas vs. Jack Rubenstein alias Jack Ruby, Hearing on Sanity Motion. Phil Burleson and Joe Tonahill spoke for Jack Ruby; Jim Bowie, Bill Alexander, and Frank Watts represented the state.

Defense attorneys Phil Burleson and Joe Tonahill filed a motion to remove from the defense team some lawyers who were sitting at the defense table at the behest of Ruby's family, not Ruby himself. The Court heard arguments against Sol Dann, Elmer Gertz and representatives of the firm Kunstler, Kunstler and Kinoy. The Court appointed Burleson and Tonahill to defend Ruby, although no motion was made, and no one had appointed the Court to act for Ruby in that manner. The sanity hearing was set for March 29, 1965.
