He wound up being charged as an accessory to murder, but wasn't convicted.
In that same sketch I think Charlie Hallstrom is #7. Thomas Barrett (#2) went on to become Sheriff of Cook County.

It is probably also worth noting that this team sketch also represents
the only image we have catalogued for
Marty Honan 1890. He has been on my most wanted upgrade list for many years.
