Description

“Less than 12 hours after Kennedy was cut down, charges were filed last night against 24-year-old Lee Harvey Oswald”

Original teletype, 7.5 x 26, November 22, 1963, featuring a story by Frank Cormier. The story begins: “An arrogant renegade who once wanted to trade his country for the Soviet Union is charged with murder in the ambush assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Less than 12 hours after Kennedy was cut down in his ceremonial limousine by rifle bullets fired by a sniper, charges were filed last night against 24-year-old Lee Harvey Oswald, who professed love for Russia and once tried to renounce his American citizenship. District Attorney Henry Wade of Dallas was asked if authorities were looking for anyone else in connection with the world-stunning murder. ‘There is no one else but him,’ Wake said.” Matted and framed to an overall size of 12 x 31. In very good condition, with light overall toning and all type uniformly faded, but still legible. RR Auction COA.
