Trial Outside
Dallas County
AUSTIN Im — The Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals
reversed today the death-
penalty conviction of Jack
Ruby for the murder of Lee
Harvey Oswald. Oswald was
identified by the Commis-
sion as President Kennedy’s
assassin.
The state’s highest court
for criminal cases sent the
case back for retrial in
some other county than Dal-
las.
The three-man court held
that the trial court erred in
admitting as evidence testi-
mony by police officers of
conservations with Ruby
shortly after the killing.
A policeman testified that
Ruby told him he had seen
Oswald in a police lineup
and that when he saw the
expression on Oswald’s face
he decided he would kill Os-
wald if be got the chance.
“Obviously this statement
constituted an oral confes-
sion of premeditation made
while in police custody and
therefore was not admiss-
ible. The admission of this
testimony was clearly in-
