Got to remember this was the 1860s not the 20th century. Photographs were a new technology and people were anxious to get them. The only way to distribute them was by hand so the assumption that police along her path would identify the woman in the veil by a picture was slim to none.

Heck we can't make that connection now (which is the subject of this thread). It pretty much stayed this way until Butch Cassidy and Sundance were unmasked.
