From left to right, Albert A. Mors, husband of the deceased Teresa Mors, and Deputy District Attorney Fricke sit at the counsel's table during the murder trial of Kid McCoy (nee Norman Selby). They sit at center. Albert A. Mors sits at the table and faces towards the right. Beside him, D. A. Fricke sits with his back to camera.

A similar photograph of Albert A. Mors sitting in court during Kid McCoy's murder trial is captioned, "Closes State's Case. F. A. Andreani and not Albert A. Mors, testified to the latter's cordial relations with Mrs. Teresa W. Mors in the trial yesterday of Kid McCoy. Andreani was Mors's lawyer. The defense was taken off its feet by the surprise of the State closing its case without Mors' testimony. Mr. Andreani is shown at the left of Judge Crail, under questioning by Deputy District Attorney Fricke, standing. (Times photo.)," Los Angeles Times, 18 Dec. 1924: 8
