THIS DAY IN HISTORY Jan. 3

    
     On January 3, 1967 Jack Ruby died of lung cancer while serving time in prison for the murder of Kennedy assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. Ruby, who was reported to have ties to organized crime, was frequently the subject of conspiracy theories. For example, the circumstances surrounding the death of reporter Dorothy Kilgallen were questioned when it became known that Kilgallen, who had recently interviewed Ruby in jail, vocally promised to reveal supposedly earth-shattering news that she had stumbled upon concerning the Kennedy assassination.
