Black and white archive footage of people running\u003cbr/\u003eLong-hidden items and documents related to the 1963 assassination of slain United States President John F. Kennedy were revealed for the first time on Monday, after spending nearly two decades locked inside a courthouse safe. \u003cbr/\u003eAmong the items are a purported transcript between Kennedy's assassin Lee Harvey Oswald and Oswald's killer, nightclub owner Jack Ruby.\u003cbr/\u003eA leather gun holster that held the weapon Ruby used to shoot Oswald,  brass knuckles found on Ruby when he was arrested; and a movie contract signed by then-Dallas District Attorney Henry Wade were also in the vault.\u003cbr/\u003eThe transcript - an alleged conversation between Oswald and Ruby, includes talk of killing the Kennedy at the behest of the Mafia.\u003cbr/\u003eIt has not been examined by experts.\u003cbr/\u003eCraig Watkins, Dallas County District Attorney presented the articles at a US Presidents' Day holiday news conference. \u003cbr/\u003eInvestigators had told Watkins about the contents of the blue, two door safe soon after he took up office in 2007.  \u003cbr/\u003eAccording to Watkins, every DA up until the new administration wanted to keep it a secret, but he decided the information was too important to remain secret anymore. \u003cbr/\u003eWatkins said he did not know if the transcript is an actual conversation, or not, but said the papers might provoke conversation as to whether there was a conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy.  \u003cbr/\u003eRuby killed Oswald on November 24, 1963, two days after Oswald was arrested in the assassination of President Kennedy. Ruby was convicted and sentenced to death the following year. Ruby won an appeal of his conviction but died of cancer before he was retried.\u003cbr/\u003eThe two-page transcript resembles one published by the Warren Commission, which investigated Kennedy's assassination and determined Oswald was the lone gunman.\u003cbr/\u003eIn the report, the FBI concluded that transcript of an alleged conversation between Oswald and Ruby was fake, and that it had been \"re-created\" for authorities by a now-deceased Dallas attorney who claimed he recognised Oswald in a newspaper photo as the man he saw talking to Ruby.\u003cbr/\u003eThe transcript unveiled on Monday is dated October 4, 1963, and allegedly happened at the Carousel Club, a Dallas nightclub. \u003cbr/\u003eIt begins with a discussion of how the \"boys in Chicago\" want to \"get rid of\" US Attorney General Robert Kennedy, JFK's brother.\u003cbr/\u003e\"There is a way to get rid of him without killing him,\" Oswald allegedly says in the transcript. \u003cbr/\u003e\"How's that?\" Ruby responds.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I can shoot his brother,\" Oswald says.\u003cbr/\u003eAfter a discussion of the logistics of shooting the president, Ruby says the money for the operation's coming from the Mafia.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Are you with the Mafia?\" Oswald asked.\u003cbr/\u003e\"You're asking too many questions,\" Ruby responds.\u003cbr/\u003eLater, Ruby gives a lengthy warning that Oswald must not get caught or say anything, noting that \"if you do talk, then the boys will make me follow you, wherever you go, and kill you,\" the transcript said.\u003cbr/\u003eA 1967 movie production deal signed by Wade, who prosecuted Ruby, was in the safe. It's unclear why the film was never produced, Watkins said.\u003cbr/\u003eA spokesperson for the Sixth Floor Museum near to where Kennedy was shot, thinks the document displayed on Monday could be one of many scripts written for films about the assassination, that ended up with Henry Wade. \u003cbr/\u003eThe contents of the safe were likely Wade's personal files on the Kennedy assassination, which researchers have long-known Wade kept. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Nobody can really put their finger on what really went down. So it brings more mystery to the situation than it does closure,\" said one man AP Television spoke too. \u003cbr/\u003eRecordings and films kept in the safe had not yet been examined. \u003cbr/\u003eOnce the task is completed, the articles will be turned over to an organisation that will continue making them public, Watkins said. \u003cbr/\u003e\"No. we're not going to sell it,\" he said during a news conference. \u003cbr/\u003eNeither the Ruby nor Kennedy families had been contacted about the items, Watkins said.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
