Charles, at your 22 you pose the question again:
What is the date and time of the first known public showing of Altgens 6?
I located a transcription of Trask Pictures which seems to address this in a straight-forward rapid-fire manner:
From Richard Trask's book, Chapter 13, The AP Man:
p. 317. Ike Altgens is responsible for the first bulletin from the AP, which went out at 12:39 p.m. CST. After taking his photo Altgens ran as fast as possible to The Dallas Morning News, which was then, and is now only a few short blocks from Dealey Plaza.
"President Kennedy was shot today just as his motorcade left downtown Dallas. Mrs. Kennedy jumped up and grabbed Mr. Kennedy. She cried, Oh No!' The motorcade sped on."
p. 318
Altgens remembered that while the bulletin was being readied, "Someone grabbed my camera, removed the film and took it in to process it, because they wanted me on the telephone reporting what I saw. We did an extraordinary good job, because within 20 minutes of the assassination we had a picture rolling on the wire - and that's good. All the wires were connected together, which means they got it in Africa and London, all over the world, at the same time that people got it in the U.S. of A. It was fantastic. I saw some of the cable photos that came back in that night, and one or more of the pictures I had taken were on page one of many of the world newspapers."
The photo caption of the motorcade under fire, one of three Altgens photos sent out on the wire photo network, read: "(DN2) DALLAS, TEX, NOV 22 - KENNEDY SHOT IN DALLAS - President John f Kennedy was shot today just as his motorcade left downtown Dallas. He was taken to Parkland Hospital. Secret Service agents are looking for where the shots came from ( AP wirephoto) (cel61303 stf - jwa) 1963." The AP photo code at the sign off indicated that Carl E Linde (cel) was the caption writer, 6 indicated the day was Friday, 1303 that it was sent at 1:03 p.m.and the photo was taken by staff member James w. Altgens."
At no point was there a break in the chain of custody of Altgens camera or film. At no point was it possible for anyone to doctor the film.
I emailed the author of the blogsite to visit this thread. Awaiting response. The above excerpt may be found at this link:
