Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds.
The jury for the murder case against Busby Berkeley convenes to debate the issues. Berkeley was purportedly at fault for a three-car-collision that resulted in two deaths, possibly because of alcohol he had imbibed at a cocktail party beforehand. To the far right is J.H. Silverstone, presumably the jury foreman.
