216 Mary's Box of 33 docs linking Oswald-Ruby-Castro
216 a Frank Watts' photostats of docs in Mary's Box
Framing Oswald/Ruby, blaming Castro:
20 Fourteen minutes recording of Hoover – LBJ phonecall on 23-11-1963
74 Julio Fernandez' photos and recordings of Oswald
75 A Pennsylvanian piece of paper
168 Six boxes of FBI files on the Fair Play for Cuba Committee
183 Tapes of Lee Harvey Oswald calling the Soviet embassy in Mexico City
What was in the box? Erasing the Past...Discussions
[T]he Warren Commission quickly dismissed rumors circulating throughout Dallas in 1963-64 that Ruby
and Oswald knew each other by stating: "All assertions that Oswald was seen in the company of Ruby
or anyone else at the Carousel Club have been investigated. None of them merits any credence."
(...)
But there is tantalizing evidence that authorities knew more than they were telling about a relationship
between Oswald and Ruby. In 1976, four Dallas deputy constables told the Dallas Morning News that
shortly after the assassination they had examined a boxful of handwritten notes and other papers in the
Dallas County Courthouse that linked Ruby and Oswald together.
Deputy Billy Preston said he and Constable Robie Love (now deceased) handed the box of documents
over to Dallas D.A. Henry Wade in late 1963 or early 1964. Wade told the paper he didn't recall receiving
the papers.

Preston, along with deputy constables Mike Callahan and Ben Cash, said the box of papers came from the
apartment of a Dallas woman. Preston explained: "She was really scared because she had all that stuff.
She wanted me to pick it up for her. And I just wished I had made some more copies now."
Preston could not recall the woman's name other than "Mary," but then and now he believes she had
some connection with Oswald because most of the box's contents appeared to have been written by
him.
Cash, however, recalled that the box came from the woman's roommate who had kept it for a Latin
American boyfriend. Cash told reporter Earl Golz:
The impression I got [was that] the papers were from the Latin American because he mentioned Ruby and
he mentioned Oswald in the writings. He didn't mention the third party but he kept referring to a third
party. And the third party would have to be him.
Among the papers in the box, according to the deputies, were newspaper clippings from Mexico, a
photocopy of a press card with the words "Daily Worker" issued to Ruby, a receipt from a motel near New
Orleans dated several weeks before the assassination with both the names Ruby and Oswald on it and
references to calls to Mexico City, papers pinpointing a landing strip somewhere in Mexico, and references
to meetings with "agents" in the border towns of McAllen and Laredo.There was also a church brochure
with markings indicating something about going to Cuba.
(...)
Deputy Cash explained why the men had not made this story public earlier:
Because at that time it was a pretty hot issue, you remember. So we kept quiet and went along with the
game. We figured it would be handled on a higher level [than us]. And when it didn't come out, we
thought at that time possibly they [the Warren Commission] thought that kind of information tying it into
the Cubans or Russians couldn't be released at that time because it might put us in World War III.
Wade finally admitted that the incident with the box of documents "might well have happened," but added,
"but I know that whatever they had didn't amount to nothing." Whether it did or not may never be known
because as far as any official investigation, the box simply never existed.

Preston told The ENQUIRER that the evidence consisted of 33 documents, packed in a cardboard container
about the size of a shirtbox and included:
* The document Cash mentioned, laboriously handwritten in part-English, part-Spanish, giving accurate
details of the assassination. It also recounted an earlier plan to assassinate Kennedy in Wisconsin in
September 1963—which was abandoned because security around the President was too tight.
* Newspaper clippings identifying the author of the document—the third member of the assassination
team—as a Texas-born gunman who had hired out repeatedly as a professional killer in Mexico.
“There were notes stating clearly that Fidel Castro had Kennedy assassination, that the killers were
doing it for Castro,” Preston stated.

Mr. Billy J. Preston, Executive Deputy, Precinct 1, Dallas County, Dallas Dallas, Texas, advised that he is an
executive deputy in Precinct 1 under ROBIE LOVE, Constable, Dallas County, Dallas, Texas, and he obtained
thirty-three documents, including one 2- by4-inch spiral-bound notebook from Mrs. MARY SIMS, who
resides at 4311 Cole, Apartment E, telephone LA 1-4764. He stated Mrs. SIMS is employed as a clerical
secretary for the Stanley Warner Management Corporation, Dallas, Texas, telephone number RI 8-0781,
Extension 28.
4311 Cole, Dallas
He said that Mrs. SIMS told him these documents were obtained by her from one BILLY LEE JONES,
also known as H.L. JONES, who claimed to be a great-great, grandson of WILLIAM H. (BILLY THE KID)
BONNEY. He said that Mrs. SIMS told him that JONES, a transient, stays at the City Mission on South
Ervay in Dallas and allegedly resides at an unknown address in San Antonio, Texas. She told him that
she wanted to check up on this man inasmuch as he claimed to be formerly connected with the office
of Naval Intelligence and she recalled typing a report for him concerning JACK RUBY's going to Cuba.
Mr. PRESTON advised that the documents had been turned over by him to the District Attorney of Dallas
County and believed that Assistant District Attorney FRANK WATTS had examined them and made
photostats of them for any interest they might have in the trial of JACK RUBY in Dallas County for the
murder of LEE HARVEY OSWALD.
Watts, Alexander & Wade
He also advised that this subject called Mrs. SIMS twice on the night of January 27, 1964, advising her
that he was in Myrtle, Mississippi, at Camp Zion. He said Mrs. SIMS told him that the subject told her
something about the Marine Corps—Love Field, and mentioned Serial No. 634168.
He said that Mrs. SIMS resides with a girl whose nickname is “PUTSY”. He was unable to supply additional
information concerning her roommate except her roommate was employed by the V.A., Dallas, Texas.
He advised that JONES had advised SIMS that he was in the Carlson Raiders of the U.S. Marine Corps
Intelligence and called her sometime before the 23rd and claimed that he was with DAVE SCARBORO, an
attorney from Abilene, Texas, and advised SIMS that he and SCARBORO were in an automobile accident
and were hospitalized in a hospital at Fort Worth, Texas.
