Emory Roy Buckner (1877-1941) was a noted attorney. An Iowa native and University of Nebraska alumnus, he graduated from Harvard Law School in 1907. Working at public agencies and private firms in New York City, he rapidly gained a reputation as one of the city's top trial lawyers. From 1925 to 1927 he served as US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, prosecuting a number of notable cases. This photo might date from 1912, when Buckner was named counsel of the Aldermanic committee then investigating police corruption in New York City. See this New York Times article of August 16, 1912.

I think I see 12/29/13 in reverse on the negative (top right). The NYT on that date, query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9907EFD7113CE633A... suggests he was being considered for Police Commissioner.

Looksl like Wikipedia also has an overview of the trial:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleary-Newman_murder
Dream team of defense lawyers for William V. Cleary, town clerk of Haverstraw, NY, and local political boss who killed the 18 year-old man who had impregnated and secretly married his daughter. The surprise verdict declaring Cleary innocent by virtue of insanity, was rendered on December 19, 1914.
query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9E03E1DF103EE7...
Comesky, in a wild and impassioned closing argument, concluded with "Gentlemen, acquit that man. Acquit him for the love of your homes. Acquit him for the love you have for your daughters. Acquit him for the memory of your mothers. Gentlemen, send this man back to his home. Unite his family and when the Christmas joy comes on next week let William Cleary be with his family, in his home. Put yourself in his place. I ask you to judge William Cleary as you expect God to judge you."
