The caption on this glass negative places a marshal in Seattle, and the phrase "kangaroo court" suggests an irregular, self-appointed tribunal rather than an official one. Mock courts like this appeared in many American towns, where crowds or local groups sometimes passed judgment outside the regular legal process. The George Grantham Bain Collection preserves the work of the Bain News Service, a photo agency that supplied news pictures, but the title here is unverified and no date is recorded, so the caption is best read as a lead rather than a settled fact.
