DescriptionThree boys in dark uniforms with “ADT” on the front of their shirts stand to the left of their bicycles in front of the Western Union Telegraph and Cable Office in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They stand on the sidewalk directly in front of the entrance to the office. All three boys hold on to the handlebars of their bikes and face the camera. A fourth boy leans against the front of the building to the right of the frame. An employee of the Western Union office is looking through the doorway window at the camera. There is damage to the negative in the upper and lower edges and along the left side of the plate.
