Description

Doctor B. W. Nies suicide at Lake Worth. Fort Worth City Motorcycle Officer J. M. Floyd (pointing) and his partner, W. R. Shockley, look over a rail of a bridge to where Doctor Nies committed suicide. As Officer Floyd points to the lake, Shockley looks over the rail in the center of the lake to look at the spot where the body was discovered. Both are dressed in leather jackets and officer's hats. Next to them is an unnamed man dressed in a jacket, gloves, and a hat, who is also looking on. Behind the rail, a couple of cars can be seen parked along the side. Further in the background, a boat can be seen out on the lake.
