** NEW DISCOVERY REGARDING BOOTH AUTOPSY PHOTO

[Linda Anderson]

The caption says:

"The previously unpublished photograph of the Wirz autopsy, taken by Gardner for the government. From a contemporary copy of the lost direct-contact albumen print."

Interestingly, Alexander Gardner is credited in the appendix, Copyrighted Material, p. 292, for the three Wirz execution photographs but there is no credit listed for the autopsy photograph. The note reads:

"There was only one camera used at the Wirz hanging. All of Gardner's photographs were taken from the same point, and all, including the postmortem view, were made with a 8 X 10 camera."
