Presidential Motorcade Photo
Original 35mm black and white negative taken by Dallas Times Herald staff photographer Bill Beal. This image shows the presidential motorcade on Main Street. The image was taken from a balcony at the Adolphus Hotel.
This is Bill Beal's first view of the approaching motorcade. The white car is Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry's personal vehicle and Secret Service agent Win Lawson rode with him in the passenger seat. Dallas County Sheriff Bill Decker sat behind Curry and Secret Service Special Agent Forrest Sorrels, who was based in Dallas, sat behind Lawson. - Gary Mack, Curator
This photo and the others taken from the Adolphus by Bill Beal is a remarkable photographic record for it shows people of all ages and races standing side by side waiting for that rare chance to see a president in person. Dallas Police and reporters estimated the crowd along the motorcade route was somewhere between 150-200,000 people, which was nearly half the population of the entire city of Dallas. Granted, some may have been more interested in seeing Jacqueline Kennedy than the president, but all took time out of their day to stand with others for a special moment. The Adolphus Hotel balcony was removed years ago, but the hotel, just west of the Main and Akard intersection, offered a superb view of both the motorcade and anxious Dallas residents. The assassination happened about two minutes after passing this spot. - Gary Mack, Curator
Since 1989, the Museum has recorded over 1,500 oral history interviews, many with Dallas motorcade spectators. The institution's ongoing Oral History Project continues to seek recollections on the life, death, and legacy of President Kennedy. If you recognize anyone in this photograph, or if you or someone you know caught a glimpse of President Kennedy in Dallas, please contact the Museum. - Stephen Fagin, Curator

In this diagram you can see that Curry was a very connected man as the Chief of Police in Dallas, TX. He had many employees that he supervised especially during the JFK visit. As the Chief many relied on his judgments and supervision during the entire case.

Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry interviewed in hallway
Chief Curry Photograph in hallway with Media
The photo shows Chief Curry speaking to the media reporters about the investigation on the third floor hallway of the Dallas Police Department headquarters late on Friday November 22nd, or early in the morning of November 23, 1963. The amount of media there was in the hallway shows how pressed the media were for answers about the investigation. It even seems like a journalist used Curry's back as support for writing notes again showing how crowded the area was.

The photo shows Chief Curry at Parkland Hospital for the service of JFK with an unnamed officer with him. He was the one who directed the cars to the hospital as he knew the area. He remained at the hospital for about an hour or so to his knowledge then he received news that one of his officers was shot and they think they found the assassin (Oswald).
