General
This engraving is of former Mayor of Baltimore George Proctor Kane (1820-1878). He was mayor from November 5, 1877 until his death June 23, 1878. He also was the Marshall of Police in Baltimore and was known to be a conspirator in the plot to assassinate President Lincoln as he passed through Baltimore. Kane could not be trusted because of his pro-Southern sympathies and was also jailed for his involvement in the Baltimore Riot of 1861.
