This photograph shows prospective jurors, or "talesmen," being examined in Los Angeles during the trial of James and John McNamara, the brothers charged with bombing the Los Angeles Times building in 1910. The explosion killed 21 people and became a flash point in the city's long fight between organized labor and business interests. The record does not give a date, but the title ties the picture to the trial, which drew heavy press attention. Bain News Service's wire photographs of such courtroom moments show how the proceedings were presented to newspaper readers across the country.
