Color print from slide taken by Jay Skaggs from the southeast corner of Elm and Houston Streets. This faded and slightly blurred print of the original image shows the northwest corner of the Elm-Houston intersection, the Texas School Book Depository doorway, a photographer and several police officers. The photo appears to have been taken before 1pm (less than 30 minutes after the assassination), as Dallas Police Captain Will Fritz' car has not yet arrived.Photographs6392012.06500000008.890000000022076Photograph (color)Color print made from the original 35mm slide, #13 of 20 images, taken by Jay Skaggs from the southeast corner of Elm and Houston Streets. Although faded and slightly blurred, this image shows the northwest corner of the Elm-Houston streets intersection, the Texas School Book Depository doorway, an unidentified photographer and several police officers. The photo appears to have been taken before 1:00 p.m., less than 30 minutes after the assassination. The time can be determined because it is known that Dallas Police Captain Will Fritz arrived on the scene at 12:58 p.m. and his car is not visible in this image.
PhotographerPoliceSkaggs, JayTexas School Book DepositoryDallasAccording to his testimony before the Warren Commission, Dallas Police Captain Will Fritz, head of the Homicide Office, arrived at the Texas School Book Depository at 12:58 p.m. News film by KRLD-TV shows Fritz arriving in his white car and walking into the Depository. The car's absence in this image helps establish the time-frame for this picture. - Gary Mack, Curator
