Autographs/K: Original November 22, 1963 UPI Ticker Of JFK's Assassination
(JOHN F. KENNEDY). The original, uncut roll of teletype transmissions, approximately 84-1/2 feet in length, from the Washington Capital News Service of United Press International, carrying the complete minute-by-minute news accounts of the events surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, November 22, 1963, near Mint. This bone-chilling, descriptive report details the shooting of the President and the events which followed swiftly in its wake. From the firing of the shots, the run to the hospital, the blood transfusions, the last Holy Rites, and sketchy reports of an assassin, until JFK was pronounced dead, and the suspected assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was apprehended, it is all here in this truly historic account. It was retained by John M. Vogt, manager of the special Washington Wire Service (WCNS) of UPI, who on duty that fateful day. As far as we can ascertain, this is one of a small handful of original reports still in private hands. (EAHA sold a similar style one in March 1998 for $12,650.) An extraordinary piece of American History.
