One thing, he sure was goofy looking. Wonder why that guy is pointing towards Billy? Seems he is not pointing directly at him. Kind of looks staged.

No, Chris, you will not be putting this on my wall. Hang it in your own den.

It takes 12 seconds exposure to take a tintype image. The photographer told them all to stay put and don't move. The guy was pointing at the croquet game to act like he was directing it.
He did have a goofy look to him.
We don't really know the personality, and for all we know he could be an intentional criminal, not a victim of the local society. For some reason its cool history.
