Great shots! That's a coreid bug (leaf-footed bug, but one without the expanded hind tibiae)-- assassins have 3-joint beaks, not 4- (last shot shows the 4 pretty well), and more simple wing membranes, among other differences. Guess the nasty smell doesn't bother the spider, or maybe the bug didn't loose it yet.
Relbugman, glad you liked the photos and thank you for the correct ID on what I thought was an assassin bug.
