DescriptionOriginal 35mm black and white negative taken by a Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. The image shows Dallas Sheriff Bill Decker speaking to reporters while awaiting the arrival of suspect Lee Harvey Oswald outside the Sheriff's office on Sunday, November 24, 1963. Oswald was to be transferred from the city jail on the east side of downtown Dallas, to the county jail, which is located on the west side, bordering Dealey Plaza. The photographs on this strip have been attributed both to Andy Hanson and to Eamon Kennedy. It is not possible at this time to determine positively which photographer took these pictures.
