LITERARY DREAM COME TRUE: I’m a source for JFK Conspiracists

I once went all the way to Las Vegas to hang out with Jack Ruby’s old buddy, Breck Wall. 

Such a hoot! Breck spun tales about Sammy, Joan, Liberace and “titty dancers.”  

I was just reading DMN dining critic Michalene Busico’s gorgeous review about The Adolphus’ FRENCH ROOM. 

And I wondered … 

How far was the Adolphus’ CENTURY ROOM — where Breck Wall’s lusty “Bottoms Up!” revue played before heading to Vegas? 

That’s when I came across this tidbit, below, from Adam Gorightly’s “Caught in the Crossfire: Kerry Thornley, Oswald and the Garrison Investigation.”

TIDBIT: As for Breck Wall (he was a transvestite who appeared in a cross-dressing revue called Bottoms Up that played at the Adolphus Hotel), which was located across the street from the Carousel Club.

Quoted in Reitzes’ article was Daniel Kusner, who said that following Jack Ruby’s arrest, “Wall had to lay down in a backseat of the squad car as it slowly snaked its way to the police station, where policemen escorted Wall to Ruby's cell.”

Three years later, Wall was the last person to speak with Ruby prior to his death.
