Lawyers Want More Examinations For Insanity

RUBY, AWAITING death in the electric hair for the murder of accused presidential assassin Leo Harvey Oswald, was not seriously hurt in the incident early yesterday morning.

DALLAS, April 27. — Jack Ruby, still sore from a headfirst dash into his cell wall in an apparent suicide attempt, was expected back in court today to ask for more mental tests.

He was expected to appear with his lawyers this morning before Dist. Judge Joe B. Brown, who presided over his trial, to argue that mental tests given him before the trial did not go deep enough. His attorneys, headed by lawyer-physician Dr. Hubert Winston Smith, filed a request for the tests last week. They said they want more tests, including the use of hypnotism and truth serum (sodium pentathol).

SHERIFF BILL DECKER said Ruby was talking to S. J. Bow.
