Description
The light shines brightly in the jury room (arrow) of the Santa Ana courthouse. In this room, six men and six women were debating over the guilt or innocence of Beulah Louise Overell and her lover, George Gollum. This scene was taken at night when the jury was reported in a deadlock in their verdict. Various reports came from spectators who peered into the jury room 50 yards away.
