    One of the old Tombs prisons in NYC had a Bridge of Sighs, like in Venice: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tombs_Prison Becker was NYPD police officer accused of ordering hit on underworld figure. Famous case of 1912, there are quite a few photos on LOC-Flickr collection related to the Becker case.

    Possibly the 1911 dock strike?

    what an amazing shot. I would be nervous getting in front of that scene with a digital camera -- that photographer sure was a brave one.

    Number 8 bus from Mile end via Bank, Aldwych, Trafalgar Square. I think this might be somewhere round the Aldwych as there's a theatre on the right. Sadly, though it does still go past Bank, the Number 8 no longer runs this route.

    From the DIB: He went on the run, hiding in Co. Clare for several months before escaping to Liverpool (this time allegedly disguised as a nun) and on to New York where he worked for John Devoy's (qv) paper, the Gaelic American, writing articles on the Fianna and the Easter rising. In attempting to get to Germany to buy arms (October 1917) he was arrested, along with Dr Pat McCartan (qv), on charges of conspiring to impersonate an American seaman. He spent several weeks in the notorious ‘Tombs’ prison before bail was raised, and was eventually fined $250 in May 1919.

    I wonder if Edward Moore was a real person or was it just a made up name for the purpose of obtaining the registration card?

    Meanwhile, back in Dublin... (I had forgotten Liam Mellows was a TD at this time. And Mellowes versus Mellows.) This is from the Evening Echo, 11 October 1920:
    MRS. MELLOWES' HOME
    Raided And Searched By Troops.

    The house of Mrs Mellowes, at 21 Mount Shannon street, Dublin, was raided by military on Saturday morning from 1 o'clock to 1.30.
    The military entered through front and back doors, which they pierced with their bayonets, also breaking windows. Mrs. Mellowes was detained under guard at the front door by military when she opened it.
    She is the mother of Mr Liam Mellowes, T.D., at present in the United States.
    It is believed that the raiders were in search of Mr Bernard Mellowes, another son of Mrs Mellowes.
    There was no one in the house at the time of the raid but the lady mentioned.
    The raiders asked Mrs Mellowes where her son Liam was, as they would "like to have met him."
    She replied: "He would like to have met you, too."
    The raiders searched the house, and caused much damage to articles of food and furniture.
    Mrs Mellowes is widow, her husband having died a few weeks ago.
