Presumably the trial of Charles Becker, which took place in 1912. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Becker Charles Becker (July 26, 1870 – July 30, 1915) was a New York City police officer in the 1890s-1910s and who was tried, convicted and executed for ordering the murder of a Manhattan gambler, Herman Rosenthal in the Becker-Rosenthal trial. Becker was the first American police officer to receive the death penalty for murder. The scandal that surrounded his arrest, conviction, and execution was one of the most important in Progressive Era New York in the 1890s to 1910s.

They used to publicly transport and convey the jury?

Well hey, those guys had to eat something . . . .

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Rosenzweig Jacob Rosenzweig (1875 - October 4, 1947) was an American gambler and underworld figure in New York City. He was one of several star witnesses in the Becker-Rosenthal trial, among these being fellow gamblers Bridgie Webber, Harry Vallon, and Sam Schepps. Rose's testimony was the most damaging because he directly implicated Becker in arranging the murder of Herman Rosenthal. As Becker's debt collector, Rose confessed to hiring the Lenox Avenue Gang, providing the getaway car. He testified he did it all on the orders of Charles Becker.

Another Bain/LOC photo of Jack Rose:

If I am not mistaken, F. Scott Fitzgerald used him as the model for Wolfsheim, the gambler and mobster who befriends Jay Gatsby. There is a scene in the book that refers to the entire Becker case, etc.

Thank you Richard Arthur Norton for the details and other name of Jack Rose. Thanks also to Wystan for finding the matching photo. We will add some of this information when we update.
