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

On the way to or from his July, 1915 sanity trial, where he was adjudged sane.
