This sketch by KRLD-TV art director Charles Fisher was made on Friday, March 6, 1964. This day began with the screening of film footage of the Oswald shooting both out of and in the presence of the jury. This was followed by the testimony of Dallas police Captain Glen King, Sergeant Pat Dean and Carousel Club stripper Little Lynn (Karen Bennett). A telephone company employee, Ralph Templin, provided very brief testimony regarding the phone call made to Jack Ruby on November 24, 1963, that ultimately led him to the Western Union office near Dallas police headquarters. The day concluded with testimony from salesman William Serur, who offered a fascinating portrait of Jack Ruby as an unpredictable and emotional man who considered his dogs to be his children, and fellow nightclub operator William Howard. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
