Dallas Times Herald

WBAP 820, Fort Worth, Dallas.

When it comes to Ranger baseball coverage, the Dallas Times Herald takes a big lead.

Catch it at home tomorrow.

[static] Oliver nothing out of one tonight.

This is the Texas Rangers Baseball Network.

WBAP 820 Fort Worth, Dallas.

If you can't be in the grandstand tonight, be at the newsstand in the morning and pick up a Dallas Times Herald Texas edition.

The Rangers now have two men down, and Richie Zisk will need a base hit or a Boston mistake to get Bobby Bonds home from third.

Some allegations even claim that the Rangers would let him read the case files, meaning he would have access to all of the little details, and then it would be virtually impossible to tell if he was lying or not.

This all fell apart, though, when a journalist called Hugh Aynesworth with the Dallas Times Herald took a closer look and very, very quickly realized there was no way Lucas could have committed all the murders he was claiming to.

I mean, sometimes he wasn't even in the state at the time they were committed, something that was very easily proven.

All of this came out in 1985, but regardless, Lucas would be convicted of 11 homicides in total.

Yes.

Reporter for the Dallas Time-Herald, who was actively researching the assassination and was allegedly preparing to write a book.

He was one of the five people that attended the meeting in Jack Ruby's apartment the night of November 24th, the night Ruby shot Oswald.

On September 11th, 1964...

And he would bring three newspapers.

He'd bring the Dallas Morning News, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and the Dallas Times-Herald.

And then after I left, he'd read the newspapers and hang out.

But they were...

And I was working at that moment, at that time, I was a newspaper reporter.

I was working at a newspaper in Dallas, the Times Herald, Dallas Times Herald.

It closed six months after they hired me, which is a- another great story if you'd like to hear it at some point.

And so, um, [lip smack] and I was writing about, uh, murders and death and bad things, and so improv was my oasis, and every week I would go to this workshop and learn about the principles of improv with people that were like me, and they were looking for something.

Now, two of them were newspapermen.

Bill Hunter of the Long Beach Press Telegram in California, and Jim Cote of the Dallas Times Herald.

A Dallas attorney had arranged for the two reporters to get in.

They were there to look at Ruby's rooms and to look through his personal papers.

Yeah.

At the Dallas Times Herald, which was about to go under any minute by the time I got there.

And then you got there in what, '80...?

'89.
