Last photo ever taken of congressman Leo Ryan, resting briefly after investigating the situation at the "Jonestown" religious colony, 1978. The stain on his shirt is from being stabbed after members told Ryan of their desire to escape. Within hours Ryan & hundreds of others were murdered. (800x1127)
