The Carman jury at the Nassau County Courthouse. See: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F40615F63D5C13738... Carman Jurors Quickly Chosen Not a Bachelor in Box, Which is Filled in Less Than Five Hours October 20, 1914 New York Times The Carman Jury of Married Men Foreman - ROBERT F. LUDLAM, oyster dealer, married; Oyster Bay. No. 2 - ALOIS ANGLER, barber, married; Central Park, L.I. No. 3 - FRANK D. MOUNT, builder, married; Oceanside. No. 4 - WILLIAM G. HOVEY, traveling salesman, married; Woodmere. No. 5 - MARK GOTTSCH, gardener, married; New Hyde Park. No. 6 - ALVIN W. SMITH, painter, married; Cedarhurst. No. 7 - JAMES V.

ASHTON, manager, married; Port Washington. No. 11 - EUGENE E. CARPENTER, builder, married; Port Washington. No. 12 - CHARLES D. STRYKER, seedsman, married; Floral Park. "They all look to be intelligent men," Mrs. Carman said, "and I am sure I shall receive a fair trial. Personally I would have selected any twelve of the list and would have felt sure that they would find me innocent."

TVL 1970: Thanks for the New York Times article identifying the members of the Carman jury. Possibly the foreman Robert F. Ludlam is standing in front of the others. We will add some more details to the image description.

Arden Given Ludlam's style of mustache, shirt collar, and the number of buttons on his coat (four), I suspect Robert F. Ludlam (or, more accurately, the person identified as Ludlam in the other LOC Bain photo) is the first man standing on the left in the front row, rather than the man standing in the foreground on the right side of the frame (three buttons on his coat, different style of mustache than Ludlam has in the photo LOC Bain photo below.) Of course, given the gentleman on the right's prominent position in the photo of the Carman jurors, another possibility is Bain misidentified the juror in the photo below as Ludlam.

Bain's photo of the Carman House (scene of the crime):

There are 13 men in the picture, and 12 jurors, unless one is an alternate juror. I think a better guess is that the man with pride of place at right is the bailiff, who would have accompanied the jurors. I think it is indeed Ludlam on the left.

The posters are slightly easier to read in another Imperial plate - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000326325

Must be one of those emigration offers of ‘free land’ to farm.
When did that run from?

National Library of Ireland on The Commons This lad with the floppy hat must be acquainted with Mr French. He is pretending to fish in several different photos of Bushmills, including one sitting on a bench with a dog - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000336465 .

Perhaps the other angler wearing a boater is Mr French ?!? -

Looks photoshopped :D Kids these days, eh? ;)

I thought it was great that in the fuller description of the photo, the cataloguer felt compelled to tell us the shark had been superimposed over the original photograph. Can you imagine if that had been a genuine shot!?! -Chelsea

Seems to be a genuine image of a very dead shark superimposed to suit. They do look hideous after been dead awhile...and so do people.

wonderful dark room work!

he he he nice
