Judge Fricke stands nearer to camera and faces towards the right. He looks down at a revolver he holds in his hands. Evidence tags hang from the revolver. To the right of him, the victim's bed enters frame. Behind the headboard, Deputy D. A. George Stahlman stands. He leans over and looks towards the Judge while pointing to a hole in a blanket. More sheets and blankets lie crumpled on the bed. The courtroom stretches across the background behind them. The Judge's bench sits at left and the chamber's door sits ajar at right.
