Warren Commission (15 of 26): Hearings Vol. XV (of 15)

The recordings capture the formal hearings of the presidential commission created to investigate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In this volume the commissioners, led by Chief Justice Earl Warren, call witnesses to testify under oath, seeking factual clarity about the events of November 1963 and the subsequent killing of the accused assassin.

Listeners will hear a wide range of voices: the Dallas police chief and his deputies, an FBI agent who interviewed Jack Ruby, Ruby’s own family members, accountants, city officials, and several acquaintances who knew Ruby in the days surrounding the tragedy. Each testimony unfolds in a courtroom‑like setting, revealing the questions asked and the evidential details presented at the time.

The material offers a rare, unfiltered glimpse into the early stage of a historic inquiry, letting the audience experience the methodical, often tense process by which the nation’s most profound mystery was first examined.
