In the foreground at left, a man sits on a bollard lining the edge of the dock; his back faces the camera. To the right of him, the dock stretches straight back. Right-of-center, in the near distance, the defendant, William James (Curly) Guy, stands. He dons a light-colored suit and faces left, but smiles to the camera. To his left and nearer to camera, Superior Judge Kenny stands. He, too, faces left and looks to camera. A cigar hangs from his mouth. Several others stand around them to the right. Farther down the dock, more people mill about. Boats and buildings line the harbor in the background.
