jurors

genealogytrails.com/ny/queens/news_crime.html Summarizes the upcoming case on Oct 16,1914. From Chicago Day Book.

NYT of Jan 25, 1929 [subscription probably required] select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F60F12F93C5A167A... indicates that there were two trials of Florence Carman for the murder of Lulu Bailey, and that the jurors disagreed at the first and she was acquitted at the second. NYT of April 4, 1915 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F30C15FA395B17738... announces that the second trial would begin soon. So these are presumably the jurors who disagreed.

swanq: Thanks for the information on the two Carman trials. We will include some of the details in the image description when we update.

Hi melcir.meri. The Mansion House in this photograph was in Newcastle, I apologise, I should have put that on the description.

Hi- do you have more information on the barges? Do you know why they were built or what they were based on? Thanks, Greg

Hi Greg, the barge in this photograph was the Lord Mayors barge. "The protection of the river was demonstrated each year on Barge Day when the Mayor, in his capacity as President of the Court of Admiralty, inspected riverside staithes etc..This system survived until 1974 when the office of Alderman was abolished."

Thank you, very interesting.

If this is the first all-woman jury in Los Angeles, the forewoman was Nora Danforth. Other members were Florence bohan, Nina Cole, Anna Dillon, Hazel Norris, Bonna Meyers, Jane Hayes, Cora Brooks, Hattie Howard, Alice Walters, and Adeline Merry, according to the New York Times report on 12 November 1911. (They heard the case of a speeding motorcyclist.)

Thanks for the information! We’ll look into it.

My goodness, they look formidable!

The "12 angry women" tag is brilliant.

This is *so* interesting - I've had a look, and i can count eleven people there - just. (The presence of the 11th person seems to be indicated only be the top of her dark hat right at the back on the far right of the frame. Our twelfth lady seems to have vacated the chair on the left, leaving only a coat/cape? draped there to indicate her presence. Where did she go? Could she have been the photographer? Or is she in fact just peeking/hiding behind the extra-ordinarily large black hat of the lady sitting in the front/foreground of the image? :)
