This is from Jack White about Hugh Betzner:

Jack White: It is worth noting Betzner's affidavit....

Before me, the undersigned authority, on this the 22 day of November A.D. 1963 personally appeared Hugh William Betzner, Jr., Address 5922 Velasco, Dallas, Age 22 , Phone No. TA 7-9761

Deposes and says:

I was standing on Houston Street near the intersection of Elm Street. I took a picture of President Kennedy's car as it passed along Houston Street. I have an old camera. I looked down real quick and rolled the film to take the next picture. I then ran down to the corner of Elm andHouston [sic] Streets, this being the southwest corner. I was standing back from the corner and had to take the pictures through some of the crowd. I ran on down Elm a little more and President Kennedy's car was starting to go down the hill to the triple underpass. I was running trying to keep the President's car in my view and was winding my film as I ran. I was looking down at my camera to see the number of the film as I ran. I took another picture as the President's car was going down the hill on Elm Street. I started to wind my film again and I heard a loud noise.

Trask says it was a small Kodak 120-roll film camera.

Talk about old! The thing was vintage! They had one called the Brownie that was like a box.



It didn't have any zoom function. You got what you got: the whole field. So again I ask: where is the uncropped version of this photo? He, obviously, didn't take a picture from across the street that was limited in width to the length of a car.
