Original teletype reporting on the funerals held for JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald and fallen police officer J. D. Tippit on November 25, 1963, one page, 8.5 x 15.5, in part: "Another hero was buried today just a few minutes after the martyred President was laid to rest. The hero was a Dallas policeman, J-D Tipitt, who lost his life as he tried to arrest the man accused of assassinating the President. Funeral services were held in the red brick Beckley Hills Baptist Church where Tippitt, his wife and their three children worshipped…There was another funeral in Fort Worth…Lee Harvey Oswald, accused of shooting both the President and Officer Tippitt, was buried in a pine coffin in a hastily dug grave. The 24-year-old ex-Marine and pro-Castro Marxist was buried three hours after President Kennedy's burial. Six Dallas newsmen served as pallbearers…Oswald was shot and fatally wounded yesterday in Dallas City Hall by a man police identified as Jack Ruby. In Dallas, Ruby told his attorney why he shot Oswald. He said it was on an impulse to avenge the sorrowing Kennedy family for what he thought was a Communist assassination plot." The teletype concludes with a report on LBJ''s pledge to seek quick approval from Congress for JFK's proposed tax cut and civil rights programs. In fine condition.
