Jack Ruby was a nighclub (read strip joint) operator who claimed that he killed Lee Harvey Oswald to spare Jackie Kennedy the pain of a long and complex jury trial where she would probably be called as a witness for the prosecution.

That chivalrous action on his part led to a host of new conspiracy theories that included the Mafia and a stash of unsavory La Cosa Nostra "want to be's."
