Thanks Wystan: John J. Graham and George M. Levy were the lawyers who defended Mrs. Edwin Carman in her trial for the murder of Lulu Bailey (New York Times, July 9, 1914 and Aug 1, 1914). We will add their fuller names when we update the image description.

This photo depicts Jefferson Monroe Levy (1852-1924), who owned Thomas Jefferson's house and farm, Monticello, from 1879 until 1923. He was a New York attorney who served three terms in the House of Representatives. J.M. Levy had (after many complications) acquired Monticello from the estate of his uncle, U.S. Naval Commodore Uriah Phillips Levy, who had bought it in 1836. A brief history of the Levys' work to preserve Monticello can be read on this page at Monticello.org. The page has links to a couple of other pages about the Levys.

Thanks! We'll fix the title in the source data and reload the description.
