    This exact photo was used on Page 3 of the April 26, 1911 Washington Post.

    The arrest of McNamara happened on April 23, so the photo was taken sometime in the interim.

    The barn was rented by John J. McNamara. Owned by "T. H" or "D." or "F. M." Jones (different Washington Post articles), a half mile or 3/4 mile west of Indianapolis. Dynamite and nitroglycerine were found inside.

    A photo of "F. M." Jones accompanies this photo in the April 26 1911 Washington Post.
