Original Associated Press teletype from 22 November 1963, entitled ''Fourth Lead Kennedy'' announcing the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. From Dallas, teletype begins, ''President John F. Kennedy, thirty-sixth President of the United States, was shot to death today by a hidden assassin with a high-powered rifle...Kennedy died at Parkland Hospital, where his bullet-pierced body had been taken in a frantic but futile effort to save his life...The First Lady cradled her dying husband's bloodsmeared head in her arms as the Presidential limousine raced to the hospital. 'Oh, No,' she kept crying.'' Teletype measures 8.5'' x 11.25''. Staple puncture to upper left and ink cross-out to small portion - ostensibly by newspaper, overall very good condition.
