Warren
Report
Criticised
aim VALLEY, Idaho - fl'Pt*
— Jack Ruby’s one-time de-
fense attorney said Thursday
•m Warren Commission failed
to make a complete report on
toe movements of presidential
assaitin Lee Harvey Oswald.
Joe H. Tonahill, featured
apeaker at the convention here
ad the Idaho State Bar Asso-
ciation, said that while the War-
ren Report ascertained the as-
aaasination of President Ken-
nedy and murder of Oswald
vane not the work of an organ-
toed group, the commission dis-
regarded certain moves of Os-
wald,
Tonahill claimed to have a
letter in his possession that at-
tests to Oswald’s presence in
Aliee, Tex., on Oct. 3, 1963, j
while the Warren report lists
Oswald at Mexico City on 1hat
date.
He said a lack of information
to the Warren report was "far
reaching.’*
Tonahill, in a general review
ef the assassination and the
trial of Ruby, blamed newsmen
for "over covering" the assas-
sination, Oswald’s arrest and |
detention, and Ruby’s trial.
"This publicity of the handl-
ing er mishandling of Oswald
by the police in the presence of
Jack Ruby had a dynamic af-
fect on an already highly emo-
tional and unstable man. and
Ruby acted accordingly,” Tona-
hill said.
