Peter B. Olney, New York District Attorney, passes a paper that states “Charges Against the Central Office Detectives – Peter B. Olney, Dist. Att’y” over the head of Fredericka Mandelbaum to Thomas Byrnes at “Police-Head-Quarters,” who in turn passes to Olney a paper that states “Denial of Charges – Insp’r. Byrnes.” In the background is a small building labeled “Mrs. Mandelbaum Receiver of Stolen Goods” on which a notice has been posted that states “Mortgage – To Cover Bail and Costs of Trial.” Caption: When “honest men” fall out, thieves have to suffer.
