Wm. O'Keefe, Gordon Dike and Wm. Gordon (LOC)

  Probably also more men who had something to do with the Harry Thaw escape conspiracy trial. William Gordon was a hotel proprietor who testified that the defendants stayed at his hotel before the escape. His nephew, Gordon Dike, also testified. select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F20D15FC395B1773... The other two I'm not sure about. One of the defendants was Michael O'Keefe not William but maybe the label is wrong.

  "Prisoner promised that after he served his term of punishment he would go back to his own country and lead a better life." I wonder whether he did.

  I was just thinking that ^^ It's not a name I recognise so perhaps he did, or moved further down the country and did the same..

  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/
