An approxiimate location would be quite acceptable. .

After doing some research, I believe this scene occurred December 31, 1912 in the afternoon. On December 30th, 32 officials of the International Assocation of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers were sentenced to Federal prison by Judge Anderson for their part in the "dynamite conspiracy". Thirty-two "dynamiters" under arrest were transported from the Marion County Jail in Indianapolis by an equal number of deputies under Marshal Schmidt. They marched south on Alabama Street to the Virginia Avenue viaduct where they boarded a special train. A squad of Indianapolis Police was also on hand. They were transported to Leavenworth Prison via St. Louis. Source: Indianapolis Star, December 31, 1912 and January 1, 1913.
