A black-and-white press photograph of a man in glasses, out of focus behind his hands, holding a loose mass of white fiber up to the camera. It is a photographic print, with no halftone screen. The caption sheet on the back, headed "APN Sunday Illustrations, 50 Rockefeller Plaza, New York" and "A Tragic Killer", identifies him only as an employee of the Vermont Asbestos Group in Eden Mills, Vt. It says the photo was for use on Sunday, September 27, with Robert Locke's Los Angeles APN story slugged "Asbestos", and it is coded "jzc-9/9/81".
