TVL 1970: Thank you for providing fuller names for these people who were involved in the Carman trial. We will include the information in the image description when we update.

Your "Just walking"-picture is really worth looking at it! Thank you for sharing!

Bain's photo of the Carman house (scene of the murder):

"Harvey Management" means it was part of the Harvey House hotel chain, one of the early chains run by Frederick Harvey a pioneer of the hotel management business. The Bisonte Hotel was in Hutchinson, Kansas, built in 1906, closed in 1946 and was subsequently demolished. Here's an article about Fred Harvey: www.hotelinteractive.com/index.asp?page_id=5000&artic... See this link about Harvey Houses in Kansas, which includes a photograph of the Hutchinson Downtown Inn and Suites which presently occupies the site: www.harveyhouses.net/states/kansas/kshouses.html A railway hotel, adjacent to the Sante Fe railroad, it was the equivalent of the modern day airport hotel. A great piece of hotel history. As for the postal connection? I'm not sure. For the time being I suppose that the wagon and horse were for mail delivery or conveyance. The persistent URL back to the SI does not yield much information.

Nice old photo. Added to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutchinson,_Kansas Thanks for posting these!

beachcomber australia Still after 1865 as there are pully wheels visible for gasometer. But different to ROY_0659 as there is a lattice beam in Sweeneys photo. So maybe the first gasometer built.
