Black and white photo of the last page of Jack Ruby's will

Black and white photographic print by a Dallas Morning News photographer. Image shows the last page of Jack Ruby's will dated February 15, 1967. Ruby died of cancer on January 3, 1967. This photo may be related to the June 6, 1967 Estate Proceedings in Probate Court No. 2 in Dallas County. The goal of this court case was to resolve the contradictions between Ruby's two wills, the first a holographic will Jack Ruby wrote and signed in August 1950 and the second a handwritten will Jack Ruby wrote and signed in August 1966, while he was in jail. The second will was contested by the family because Ruby chose to leave his personal effects to then-deputy sheriff Norman Hooten.
