Then they turned to the local Meru tribesmen, carrying off more than 50 men and women to their four forest camps.

...cameras watched the action and flashed the scene instantaneously across the nation's television sets. Precisely twelve seconds after Oswald appeared, Ruby ducked out from his position among the newsmen. A detective saw him, recognized him. "Jack!" he cried. "You crazy son of a bitch!"
