Rubye in the record, and in court against Nadeau

Volume II, titled news coverage and family battles, preserves this clipping under the headline “Kin Fight Over Zioncheck Will.” Names visible on the plate include Mrs. Ann Nadeau, identified as sister of the late congressman; Mrs. Rubye Nix Zioncheck, widow; and counsel appearing for each side.

The plate’s headline is “Zioncheck Daughters Fight Over Estate.” The WSU record date printed on the volume page is February 9, 1937.

The plate’s headline is “Zioncheck’s Widow Must Yield Stocks.” The WSU date on the volume page is January 13, 1938. The clipping as preserved names Rubye Nix Zioncheck, widow, and Mrs. Ann Nadeau. The reader page is the source for the ruling text as printed. No additional decree is invented here.

Volume V states that Rubye Nix Zioncheck (later Rubye Nix Wilson) received a significant payoff or offer from Hollywood interests tied to the Nadeau family orbit; that she intentionally flopped the opportunity; and that she later expressed intense hatred of the Nadeaus — language the volume treats as consistent with someone who knew the truth and refused to play along.

Its key facts, as printed: she was close enough to witness key elements of the staging and what happened to Vic; she fled the country, changed her name, and encoded the truth in her artistic work; she received a Hollywood offer or payoff tied to the Nadeau orbit; she deliberately tanked the opportunity; she later engaged in repeated legal actions against Nadeau over property and estate matters; she expressed intense hatred of the Nadeaus.

Volume IV’s doorway chapter already notes the same later lawsuits when it identifies Nadeau as Rubye’s brother-in-law and places him at the center of the moment the official suicide narrative was established.

Volume V lists four high-priority works. Work B, in its transcription: “I was with him when it happened. It wasn’t what we were told.” Signed “R.” The volume calls this the most direct statement of presence and of the falsity of the official account.
