So who is the third man, originally captioned Sheriff Henderson?

For that matter, who are the other two?

Ten to one, the one in the middle is wearing handcuffs.

New-York tribune., June 20, 1915, Page 2, bottom of column 5 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1915-06-20/ed-... London, June 19. "The Philadelphia left to-day ... Deputy Sheriff Henderson brought on board Florentino, wanted for a shooting In lllinois." So Bolobilly is right. And this picture would likely have been taken when the Philadelphia docked. But no clues here as to who the other gentleman is.

And that might even be the key to the handcuffs sticking out of the Sheriff's left hand. I think the fellow's name is Fiorentino, if I read the newspaper correctly.

American Line's SS Philadelphia arrived in New York from Liverpool on Feb. 22, 1917, particularly newsworthy in light of heightened tensions with Germany and the break in diplomatic relations: "The American liner Philadelphia, the only passenger vessel flying the American flag to risk a trip across the Atlantic since the German submarine decree became effective, arrived at her pier at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon with 243 passengers on board."
