This building is now known as the Old Nassau County Courthouse: "The County Seat found its home in Mineola on July 13, 1900, as Governor Theodore Roosevelt laid the cornerstone of the Nassau County Court House. A celebration was held to commemorate this momentous occasion on the barren 5-acre (20,000 m2) site at the corner of Old Country Road and Franklin Avenue. Many dignitaries were present to witness this history-making event such as Frederick Hicks, Congressman Townsend Scudder, Colonel William Youngs and Supervisors William Jones and Edwin Willits." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineola,_New_York A photo of the building from 2010: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/36/Old_Nassau_Co...

artolog and wystan: Thanks for the fuller identification of this building and its link to the Carman murder trial. We will add more details to the image description when we update.

Mary Jane Tatum, wife of John C. Tatum of Great Neck, Long Island, was accused of an affair with Jack Ottman, in Mr. Tatum's divorce suit.

Which he lost, alas. This divorce proceeding and what followed was very dramatic/melodramatic: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C01E0D6113FE633A...

Thank you for the additional information. We will update the record.
