Dallas Morning News obit link above. I posted on Facebook about Alexander:
I interviewed Alexander and his boss, DA Henry Wade, for my book INTO THE NIGHTMARE. Alexander was an unhinged character who was mixed up in the Dallas events in suspicious ways. Wade was ambivalent about Alexander, saying that "Bill was inclined to make wild statements" and adding with cynical admiration, "He probably was the best one to prosecute a weak murder case." On the Ruby trial, Wade told me that Alexander didn't do his "homework," so the DA himself had to step in to help. Then Wade had to fire him over his statement that Earl Warren should be hanged. This Dallas Morning News article is a shameful whitewash of this unsavory (to put it mildly) figure.

Joseph McBride "People down here are probably more patriotic than your Eastern liberal types, and they've demonstrated that. There are a lot of people that strictly do not like Yankees. And as far as anybody giving a particular rat's ass about John Kennedy getting his ass wiped in Dallas, who cares? A goddamn Yankee comes off down here and gets killed, for whatever reason, big deal!" -- Bill Alexander in Larry Sneed's NO MORE SILENCE
