Six clipped original news teletype bulletins covering the arrest and shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald, ranging in size from 8.25 x 3.25 to 8.5 x 7.5, beginning with news of Oswald's arrest: "Police have arrested a white man in the riverside section of Fort Worth in connection with the shooting of a Dallas policeman. The man denied any connection with the assassination of President Kennedy."
The blurbs continue:
- "Moscow radio reported the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald minutes after Western news agencies flashed the reports from Dallas."
- "A spokesman at the hospital where Oswald was taken says he is in extremely critical condition and is undergoing surgery. The hospital chief of surgery, Dr. Tom Shires, says Oswald was shot once in the left side, and the bullet remained in his body."
- "Attendants at Parkland Hospital in Dallas have rushed what appears to be about 15 pints of blood to the emergency surgery room where Oswald was taken."
- "The accused killer of President Kennedy—Lee Oswald—died today after being shot. He was shot while being transferred from City Hall in Dallas to the County Jail. He was rushed to a hospital but efforts to save his life failed."
- "Officers in Dallas have charged Jack Ruby with murder for the slaying of Lee Harvey Oswald, suspected of assassinating President Kennedy. The charges against Ruby were filed before a justice of the peace. He was ordered held without bond."
In overall very good to fine condition, with overall blocks of toning from prior display, and some fading to the text.
