On April 26, 1964, West hopped on a flight to Dallas, scheduled to examine Jack Ruby in the county jail that afternoon. The Dallas papers reported it in their final editions that evening: West emerged from Ruby’s cell to announce that the previously sane inmate had undergone “an acute psychotic break” sometime during the preceding “forty-eight hours.” Whatever transpired between West and Ruby in that cell, only the two of them could say; there were no witnesses. West proclaimed that Ruby “was now positively insane.” The condition appeared to be “unshakable” and “fixed.

 Why in the world did Ruby seem sane when Jolly went in but insane forevermore after he came out of that cell?
