Check, 8.25 x 3, filled out and signed by Ruby, “Jack L. Ruby,” who also signs “Little Daddy,” payable to Mrs. Mattie Columbus for $55.00, March 29, 1952. Ruby also adds, “Draw on Little Daddy,” and “Little Daddy account,” to the check. In 1952 Ruby managed a talented young African-American boy, “Little Daddy” Nelson. The boy appeared at the Silver Spur, the Vegas Club, and the Bob Wills Ranch House. In about 1953 or 1954, Ruby took “Little Daddy” and his parents to Chicago to obtain a television appearance for him. However, shortly after their arrival, Ruby was confronted by a second woman claiming to be “Little Daddy’s” mother. Upon advice of counsel, Ruby decided to abandon the venture.
