Description
(Original Caption) Rosenbergs Lie in State. New York: The bodies of executed atom spies Ethel and Julius Rosenberg lie in coffins on view at the Brooklyn funeral home which planned to be open all night, to permit the hundreds of sympathizers who were expected, to file through. At least 300 persons were on hand when the funeral parlor doors opened at 9:15 P.M. The bodies, which were to be buried the next afternoon, were clad in white sheets. Mrs. Rosenberg's head was covered with a bit of silk to hide the spot where her head was shaven for the electrocution's helmet. Julius Rosenberg wore a white skull cap and a Hebrew prayer shawl.
