Royal Leonard sits in the witness box and is reading a paper he holds in his hands. Two unidentified men are in front of him, one sitting at a table, and one standing, blurred. A chalkboard is behind the two men with the judge's name on it. Florence Suddarth is seated on the far right of the photo, behind a table; she is partially cut off.
Marguerite Talcott stands on a porch with five of her children: Betty (later, Elizabeth Talcott Brandt), Rodney (Rodney D. Talcott Jr.), Tom (Tom Meade Talcott), and Peggy (later, Marguerite Talcott Shield). The smallest child is misidentified as another Betty on the negative sleeve, but is probably Frank R. Talcott, who would have been about 3 when this photo was taken. A sixth child, Patricia Ann Talcott is not pictured, who would have been 10.
Northcott was later tried and convicted for the serial murders of young boys in the riverside county area. His mother, Sarah Louisa Northcott, was also imprisoned for assisting him.
