Image 6 from Negative Strip 36: Dallas Police Department of a man carrying a palm print

Original 35mm black and white negative taken by an unidentified Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. The image shows Dallas Police Detective W.E. 'Pete' Barnes with the palm print of Lee Harvey Oswald in the hallway at the Dallas Police Department headquarters on November 22, 1963. The negative is on Kodak Tri-X Pan Film. This image is labeled #6 on section 2 of negative strip 36.The old TMS record for the images on this negative strip did not identify a photographer. Based on research conducted by collections intern Mark Davies in June and July 2012, curatorial and collections staff concluded that Darryl Heikes and one other DTH photographer attended the midnight press conference. It is not possible to say at this time who took the photos. (Lindsey Richardson, 8/9/13)Dallas Police Detective Pete Barns, with Oswald palmprint, on Friday night
