Great thread. Fascinating story. I knew most of it already, but the pics were new and I didn't know Ruth had passed away. Eddie's career and personal life went downhill for a long time. From what I've read the shooting weighed on him pretty heavily. Lots of drinking, but he came out of that and was doing well until cancer took him at an early age. As for Ruth she was obviously seriously mentally ill at the time, but she did some time, apparently was at least mostly cured, and lived a quiet normal life for 60+ years. I think Eddie forgave her and we can all do the same.
