Who's the man behind the murderess?

The Evans family in Hamilton took a special interest in the story package in today's Spectator about 1946. Not so much about the article, but about a photograph on the front page.
The family believes the  man smoking a cigarette behind Evelyn Dick is Ramsey Evans, who was a junior lawyer with J.J. Robinette. Marcia Evans, daughter-in-law to Ramsey,  phoned today wondering if we could verify the man's identity. But unfortunately our records don't say. Maybe there is someone out there who knows.
Also, on the subject of pictures, I was reminded about the fascinating career of Spectator photographer Joe Ballantine, The Spec's "first full-time shooter" who was hired in 1935 and stayed at the paper for 42 years.
Back in the big fedora and exploding flash days, he twice landed exclusive pictures of Evelyn Dick. I'll let my colleague Wade Hemsworth tell the story from his well-written obituary of Ballantine in 1999.

"The first time he tried to take her picture, during her murder trial, the cops told him to stop. When
he didn't, they arrested him and confiscated his camera with the film still inside. It was one of the few battles they would win. Usually Joe had time to hide the film.
Later, during the same 1946 trial, he and a Toronto Telegram photographer cooked up a diversion to put the entire Toronto Star team of seven shooters on the wrong trail. The Tely man handed Ballantine his camera gear and went into the courtroom. A short time later, he came bursting out, grabbed the gear and took off in a car. All seven Star photographers followed. The Tely man led them out to Stoney Creek and back, leaving Ballantine exclusive access to Hamilton's most notorious killer as she left court.
Later, Ballantine and the Tely man split the pictures."
