conspiracy

Maybe this one? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Butler_%28British_Army_offi...

I think it might be the Richard J. "Big Dick" Butler who wrote this autobiography "Dock Walloper: The Story of "Big Dick" Butler." archive.org/details/dockwalloperstor00butlrich He was the President of the Longshoreman's Union in New York and a state assemblyman. I can't find another photo of him except the drawing in the book but it looks like it could be the same man. He was in the news in 1913 when he helped Harry Thaw escape from Matteawan State Hospital. In 1915 he was tried for conspiracy in the escape and acquitted. select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F70C13FE3B591673...

Also, I think the building he is standing in front of is the old New York Criminal Courts Building. You can see the same wall and railing in a few other Bain News photos of other trials www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2765464748/ or www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2496407997/

Classic

Same Gordon as this photo www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/6927524482/in/s...

In Dock Walloper archive.org/details/dockwalloperstor00butlrich Dick Butler describes William Gordon as "a tall, lanky hayseed with a red mustache, who ran the Holland Hotel at Beacon [New York]..."

Pascual Orozco, see other photo. He seems to have lost a lot of weight in this photo--must have been taken later, and he is a General here, not a Colonel That's a sharp suit--very stylish.

Pascual Orozco Vázquez, (1882-1915) born in Hacienda Santa Inés [other sources say Santa Isabel], near San Isidro, municipal territory of Guerrero. His father Pascual Orozco Sr. (you may find a picture of him in this Bain collection, cal nr. LC-B2-2563-11) and his mother Amada Vázquez . One of the main revolutionaries in Chihuahua during Madero´s rebelion in 1911 Taken from Wikipedia where you can learn more about him. On march 6, 1912 he overturned and rebeled against President Madero launching the "Plan de la Empacadora" Dr. Roberto Duarte
