	Leon Czolgosz
		Despite his crime, Czolgosz emerges as one of history's most sympathetic murderers because of his madness and his devotion to the cause of helping the exploited workers of turn of the century America.
		Czolgosz's probing questions and belief in violence to end the suffering of the poor caused the local officials to denounce Czolgosz as a government spy.
		Czolgosz's trial was a farce; his guilty plea was rejected by the judge who wanted to prove that in America an assassin could recieve a fair trial.

	HarpWeek: Cartoon of the Day
		Czolgosz reached the conclusion that the assassination of President McKinley would send a warning to other national leaders, and generate positive publicity for the anarchist cause of overthrowing the political, economic, and religious establishment.
		Czolgosz went to Buffalo in late August 1901 so that he could explore the grounds of the Pan-American Exposition, but apparently did not develop a specific plan for the assassination.
		Czolgosz simply walked up and shot the president point blank in the chest (which ricocheted off a button) and a second time in the stomach.

		And Czolgosz worked his way to the head of the line and prepared to shake the president`s hand -- or rather, the president prepared to shake his hand, only Czolgosz was holding a revolver in his hand, concealed by a handkerchief, and he shot the president in the abdomen.
		Cleveland was where Czolgosz had spent most of his adult life, where he had worked when he worked, where he had been put out of work when he worked, and so it was where most of the material was to be found.
		When Czolgosz`s attorneys, who had been appointed, had been selected by the Erie (ph) bar association and were appointed to take his case, he didn`t appear to want them because anarchists don`t believe in the law was the argument.

	100 years later, who remembers this presidential assassin?
		This was Leon Czolgosz, pronounced Chol-gosh, and history, through the tortured media prism, has managed to paste upon him several standard labels over one elapsed century: inarticulate loner, neurotic young anarchist, self-proclaimed anarchist and immigrant anarchist, even though he was born in Detroit.
		When he awoke the next morning, the man Leon was stalking, William McKinley, a Civil War veteran, a lawyer, a former Ohio governor, and the 25th president of the United States, exited Buffalo for a day trip to Niagara Falls.
		While McKinley's enraged, defeated bodyguards beat Leon within an inch of his life, the president was rushed to an inadequately staffed Expo hospital, where entrance and exit wounds to his stomach were sewn up by a local gynecologist.

		At one moment encouraging the belief that Czolgosz's was a political crime, at the next that it was a deranged one, Roosevelt used the specter of McKinley's death to usher in Progressive Era America.
		Evidently, Czolgosz incorrectly thought he was dying of syphilis; his conversion to radical politics came relatively late, and he decided to end his life with the death of the President.
		Rauchway first examines the assassination, the immediate capture of Czolgosz, his speedy trial only weeks after the murder (the jury deliberated for 25 minutes), death by electrocution a month later, the perfunctory autopsy, and the gruesome burial, during which sulfuric acid was poured over the body.

		In Detroit, which was Czolgosz's birthplace, Jo Labadie condemned the killing of the President as the act of an insane man, and asserted the assassin was not even an anarchist.

		Czolgosz’s East European origins were foregrounded in most of his representations, and within a context where the face of “anarchy” in general was unequivocally not American.
		Czolgosz is not typically portrayed as a quivering coward as is Most, yet it is not uncommon to see him referred to simply as “the Pole,” seen for example in the headline “Police Think the Pole Alone Was Responsible” (ironically, Czolgosz was actually born in the United States).
		Czolgosz’s depravity was not based on original sin, but on a poorly chosen political philosophy which guided the entire course of his actions.

		One of those millions was Czolgosz, the son of Polish immigrants, whose loss of faith in the American dream eventually led him to the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo on September 6, 1901 where he shot McKinley twice.
		Czolgosz's guilt was never in question but it was his motivation for the assassination that puzzled many.
		Thanks to Czolgosz, Roosevelt found himself suddenly able to launch his Progressive agenda, one that charted a course between radicalism and reactionary forces and pushed the Republican Party towards the left.

		Leon Czolgosz, the son of Polish immigrants, had attended a speech by Emma Goldman just two weeks before he shot McKinley.
		The feminist leader had no connection to Czolgosz otherwise, though she would be imprisoned for a time because of Leon's claim that he was her "disciple." He was a self-described anarchist, however, and the negative connotations added to the term would never be completely forgotten or removed.
		Czolgosz never attempted to use insanity as a defense, as the legal system showed it's ability to move fast when it so desired.
