Martin Carroll: Robbery at Christmas

Martin Carroll was born about 1874 in Georgia, he was living in California in 1897 and he and a friend wanted a drink.








His friend James Brown (not the singer).





I believe the man with one leg was Martin Carroll, he was a bootblack (shoeshine).





James Brown was born in Illinois he was a waiter age 22.

They were both discharged 17 May 1899, I wonder if they went for a drink?
