This Washington photograph is tied to the case of Tom Mooney, a San Francisco labor organizer convicted in 1916 for his alleged role in the Preparedness Day bombing that killed ten people. Mooney's conviction was widely disputed, and his supporters pressed for decades to have it reviewed. The Harris & Ewing studio, a Washington firm known for news and portrait photography of public figures, documented many officials and national events, so the image reflects how the case reached the capital's political attention. Around 1939, when new evidence came to light and the campaign for clemency gained momentum, the matter drew wide national coverage.
