Jack Ruby original 1963 Associated Press press photograph depicting the Dallas nightclub owner with stripper “Little Lynn” (real name Karen Lynn Bennett), who was charged with carrying a concealed weapon after a .25 caliber pistol was found in her purse as she arrived to testify at Ruby’s bond hearing. Taken in the tense weeks following Ruby’s killing of Lee Harvey Oswald, the image highlights the chaotic atmosphere surrounding the case as witnesses, associates, and law enforcement figures were thrust into the national spotlight.

Near fine condition.

Jack Ruby (1911–1967), best known for fatally shooting Lee Harvey Oswald on live television two days after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, became one of the most controversial figures in the entire case. Convicted of murder in 1964—later overturned on appeal—Ruby remained central to speculation and conspiracy theories until his death in 1967.

Karen Lynn Bennett, known professionally as “Little Lynn,” was a dancer at Ruby’s Carousel Club and briefly became a witness of interest when she was detained for weapons possession while arriving for Ruby’s court proceedings. Her unexpected arrest underscored the intense scrutiny facing those connected, even peripherally, to Ruby during the highly publicized legal aftermath of the assassination.
