Looks like it says "Ortiz v. Carlos Troncoso" down at the bottom?
Greg said:
Perhaps "Ortiz y Carlos" ?
Jesús Roberto Duarte said:
Seems to say "Ortiz y Carlos Troncoso fusilados ¨¨(fusil means rifle, therefore fusilado means rifle shooted) en la d....." The typing is very similar to that used by Waite Photo Co. Dr. Roberto Duarte Plastic Surgeon
Jesús Roberto Duarte said:
If this picture is a secuence with www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/ggbain.15851/ Call Nr. 3034-11 Then the execution is taking place by the walls that surround Belem Prison

Count Harrach -- Lt. Von Lobel -- Excellenz Dr. Von Sandt, Civil Governor Belgium (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

Art Siegel said:
Max von Sandt (1861-1918) was the head of the civil administration after Germany began its occupation there in 1914 and remained until sent to Warsaw for identical duties in July, 1917, shortly before his death. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_von_Sandt fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximilian_von_Sandt en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Governorate_of_Belgium
Art Siegel said:
Count Harrach (I haven't found a source for his full name and there were several Count Harrachs) appears in news accounts and memoirs as either the head of or aide to the head of the occupation government's political section.
He was quoted as being part of an uncooperative group of German officials who blocked efforts to delay the execution of English nurse Edith Cavell, accused of spying in Brussels in October, 1915. He said he only regretted that he lacked "3 or 4 old english women to shoot."
select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50E16F63B5E1173...
In an account by the U.S. Head of Legation to Belgium, Harrach says "The life of one German soldier seems to us much more important than that of all the old English nurses. ..." and then prevents others in the room from showing sympathy when a plea for leniency is made.

There is a memorial to her in London;

and her life inspired the naming of a mountain in Canada in her memory:

....on 19 October 1923, Thomas Fitzgerald, CID Motor Driver was shot dead at Ashtown, Co. Dublin following an armed robbery of £40 from Messrs. Rathborne's candle factory at Castleknock by three dispatch riders of the National Army. One of the attackers was shot dead in the course of the chase and the other two raiders were captured. William Downes was convicted of Thomas Fitzgerald's murder on 29 October 1923 and executed by hanging at Mountjoy Jail on 29 November 1923 - his execution being the first hanging in the history of the Irish Free State.
