David E. Scheim is a director
of management information systems. He is the author of several books
on the murders of John
F. Kennedy
and Robert
Kennedy.
This includes Contract on America : the Mafia
murders of John and Robert Kennedy (1983)
and The
Mafia Killed President Kennedy (1988).
In 1989 Scheim told Blaine
Taylor who he thought Carlos
Marcello,
Santos
Trafficante and
Jimmy
Hoffa
ordered the assassination
of John
F. Kennedy.
He added: "All three of them were very close friends, and, when
we look at Jack Ruby's telephone records, we find an astonishing peak
in the number of out-of-state calls in the months before the assassination
- it's actually 25-fold
greater than in the month of the previous January. Most
of those calls are to organized crime figures, in particular to top
associates of Marcello,
Trafficante, and Hoffa.
Scheim is on the Board
of Advisors of the Assassination Archives and Research Centre in Washington.

Debate on the Kennedy Assassination

David E. Scheim, The
Mafia Killed President Kennedy (1988)
Despite
official denials. Jack Ruby had indeed
been a "professional gangster." Furthermore, telephone
records and other documents showed extensive contacts between Ruby
and underworld figures from across the country in the months before
the assassination.
It also
emerged, disturbingly, that evidence establishing these criminal
ties had been repeatedly suppressed or distorted by the Warren Commission,
the government body initially charged to investigate Kennedy's
murder. For example, the Commission reported that "virtually
all of Ruby's Chicago friends stated he had no close connection
with organized crime." But a trace of the Commission's cited
references revealed
that one of these "friends" was a notorious Mob hit man
credited with planning some of its more important executions. More
than half of these cited friends, in fact, had some racketeering
associations.

In 1989 David Scheim was
asked by Blaine Taylor who killed President John
F. Kennedy.
The three
people are Carlos Marcello, the Mafia boss of New Orleans... The
second figure is Santos Trafficante, who was the Mafia boss at Tampa,
Florida. The third is Jimmy Hoffa, the Teamsters' boss who was killed...
Like Carlos Marcello, each of the other two had spoken openly of
assassination plots against the Kennedys, and this all occurred
in the summer months of 1962. All three of them were very close
friends, and, when we look at Jack Ruby's telephone records, we
find an astonishing peak in the number of out-of-state calls in
the months before the assassination - it's actually
25-fold greater than in the month of the previous January. Most
of those calls are to organized crime figures, in particular to
top associates
of Marcello, Trafficante, and Hoffa.
