McKinley survived the Battle of Antietam (Sharpsburg) , the bloodiest day in American history, fighting near Burnside Bridge only to be shot by an assassin nearly 39 years later. Sometimes life's not fair.
@@your_royal_highness There's something about Antietam. When I went there, it was early morning. The mist was just lifting. There was dead silence, no birds chirping, no crickets, nothing but the wind. I stood on Burnside bridge, looking at the spot where Capt. John Griswold of Ct. was mortally wounded and thought, "How could they have just ran into the line of fire like that?" Later at the Cornfield and then Bloody Lane thinking the same thing. America has been built on the blood of those who have come before us. Now, we are at the cross roads again. When will we stop this carnage?
McKinley was born in Niles, Ohio, just a couple minutes from where I grew up in Girard. I've been to his memorial site there, quite impressive. From all accounts he was a fundamentally decent man, very devoted to his wife (in fact he told his secretary to be very careful in how he broke the news to her that he had been shot, as she was in delicate health and had epilepsy). Shame he's little remembered today.
Its not that he is less remembered today, but his existence has been buried on purpose, as he spoke about the reality of the World Fair buildings, and his death was not by some anarchist...more to do to get him out and put the VP as P.
Woodrow Wilson also had Kux Klux Klansman membership while he was in office, Harry Truman, Warren Harding also had Kux klux Klansman membership while they was in office to just Google it.
I have an original Philadelphia newspaper from Sept. 7, 1901 with the headline "President McKinley Shot Down by Anarchist, Lies Fighting Bravely for Life - May Recover." In the article it said he was expected to recover. Interestingly, there was no mention of Roosevelt that I could see, at least on the front page. I suppose because they expected him to recover. I didn't want to open the paper up to read more because it is in poor condition and I was afraid it would fall apart on me.
@@BrandyTexas214 I like old Postcards and Stereoviews too. I have a bunch of postcards that were my Grandmothers from 1905 to 1915. They had wonderfull art back then. I also have a stereoview of President McKinley from 1899 when he was visiting Minneapolis (where I live). .

Interesting. You usually hear or see things on Lincoln's assassination or Kennedy's but not usually McKinley's. This is a solid piece of history. I will have to read more on it. Teddy Roosevelt was one of the greatest presidents ever.

McKinley was a very underrated President, more should be known about him. Teddy Roosevelt was one of our better Presidents-my Grandmother actually heard him speak once when he did a train-campaign across the USA. He was very partisan, as was the custom in those days-my Grandmother remembers him saying, 'Thank goodness I am NOT a damn Democrat!'. The mostly Republican crowd loved it! 🙂
I live in Canton, Ohio, I'm about 1/2 mile south of the McKinley Monument where President McKinley is interred. The park is named Monument Park, and we also have the McKinley High School. We also have a McKinley Museum his wife started, just a few blocks south of downtown Canton.
It's nice to know McKinley is remembered somewhere. His legacy is mostly erased from history for political reasons (if not for mass immigration he would not have been killed).

I just wish that someone would do a more thorough investigation as to how much Michael Jackson was involved in the deaths of both John Lennon, & Elvis Presley.

Just because Michael Jackson is dead, doesn't mean he shouldn't be investigated for his role in both of the murders!

I will say this, about Ken Burns: He has a passion, and genius; for bringing History, particularly American History, alive. He and his staff, seem to have an inexhaustible energy, and will; to do the mountains of research, necessary; to accomplish this. He also has made good choices in his choice of actors, for "voice-overs". Personally, I would like him, to do a piece on American Football, concentrating on professional football. Professional American-style Football goes back, nearly as far as College Football, and is quintessentially American, starting in the industrial towns of the Mid-Atlantic, and Great Lakes States. Most of the players had ethnic backgrounds, and names, and Jim Thorpe, a Sac and Fox Original American; was one of the organizers of The National Football League. Some attention should also be given to the "start-up" leagues, that competed with the NFL, including The All-American Football Conference; which has been badly treated by the NFL. The AAFC's Cleveland Browns, in the persons of Marion Motley and Bill Willis, broke the Color line in professional team sports, and did it, more than six months before The Brooklyn Dodgers did it, with Jackie Robinson; when Motley and Willis played for Cleveland, against The Miami Seahawks, in early September, 1946. Motley was a punishing Fullback, who at one time held the Yards-per-carry record in the NFL; and Willis was a Middle Guard for the Browns Defense, and was known for his cat-like quickness, and agility. Willis became the template, for today's Middle Linebackers. The Browns were also the first "perfect season" team, in Professional Football, in 1948; unbeaten, and untied, and won the AAFC Title that year. The AAFC folded, after the 1949 Season, and four franchises, The Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Colts, and New York Yankees; were accepted into the NFL. While Cleveland dominated the NFL, in its first 5 NFL Seasons, winning all 5 Eastern Conference Titles, and winning 3 NFL titles, against the Los Angeles Rams, Detroit Lions, and the Rams, again; The 49ers managed to stay in the League, while Baltimore folded, and The New York franchise was temporarily put on the shelf. Three years after the Baltimore Colts folded; the City, and Fans; of Baltimore, persuaded the NFL, to move the Yankee franchise to Baltimore, and renamed it the Colts. Cleveland won a 7th Eastern Conference Championship, in 1957; but lost to The Detroit Lions in the Championship Game, and Baltimore, under Weeb Ewbanks, and Johnny Unitas, won two Western Conference, and two NFL titles, in 1958, and 1959. This means that, in the Decade following the AAFC folding; the AAFC franchises won 9 Conference Titles, out of 20; and 5 of 10 NFL Championships; not too bad, for a defunct league. Detroit, Los Angeles, and New York, were the only NFL original franchises to win during this period, with Detroit winning 4 Conference titles, and 3 Championships, Los Angeles winning 3 Conference, and 1 League Championship, and New York, 3 Conference, and 1 League Championship. Chicago managed to win a Conference Title, in 1956.

@David Brown Since TR was the sitting Vice President, when President McKinley died the next in line after TR would be the House Speaker. This would have only been for less than a day until TR was sworn in as President. Once TR was sworn in, then the House Speaker would have been first in line to the Presidency since back then the President didn't have the authority to appoint a new VP.
@@DavidBrown-jk2pm Right. When the president stops breathing, the VP succeeds to the presidency, even without taking the oath. Lyndon Johnson didn't need to take the oath when JFK died, but he wanted the country to see that the formal process was still being observed.
@@basilmarasco1975- No, LBJ did it for two reasons: 1. To insult, humiliate, and torment Robert Kennedy, who begged LBJ for the return of JFK's body to the White House before LBJ would take the oath. 2. To stall the departure of LBJ's plane to Washington D.C. so the body of JFK (that, as we now know, was actually not the body that was inside the casket on LBJ's plane) could be secretly transported to Bethesda Naval Hospital in a separate plane ahead of schedule, in order to remove, prior to the planned autopsy in that hospital, any bullet fragments from JFK's brain that would contradict the 'lone shooter'/'three shots from behind' narrative, and to patch up the most heavily damaged parts of the skull and hair to obfuscate the large exit wound in the back of JFK's head that countless eyewitnesses have described in great detail. LBJ was a monster who killed animals for fun when he was young (poor donkey!).
How justice use to be: Leon Czolgosz shot Mckinley Sept. 6th, 1901. McKinley died Sept 14th. Czolgosz went on trial for murder Sept. 23rd, was found guilty and sentenced to death Sept.26th, was executed in the electric chair October 29th.
I'm confused. It sounds like you believe it's actually a good thing to rush to judgement and close the case of the assassination of a world leader and quickly silence the 'lone nut' who (is supposed to have) carried out the assassination by sentencing & putting him to death in less than two months. You don't really think this was a good thing, do you?
T.R. made a mistake by not running in 1908 and trying again in 1912. He could have possibly solidified Progressive policies well into the future and been the 2nd longest serving President behind his cousin, FDR. If this would have occurred, perhaps the nation wouldn't have needed FDR to bail us out again from The GOP's perpetual ruinous policy's. Hoover(GOP): Depression. Bush 2, (GOP): Great Recession, Trump(GOP): COVID-19. It will be written..
WWII ended depression not Roosevelt. The depression was caused by world War I and the reparations on Germany. US was primary lender to Germany and they defaulted on their loans causing banks to crash and world wide depression 2007 financial crisis is the breakdown of trust that occurred between banks the year before the 2008 financial crisis. It was caused by the subprime mortgage crisis, which itself was caused by the unregulated use of derivatives. ... Despite these efforts, the financial crisis still led to the Great Recession. Subprime mortgage was a direct result of laws created before Bush 2 Covid-19 came from China and it infected the whole world it wasn't Trump!
Mark Hanna, who was a Cleveland Industrialist, and behind-the-scenes political operative, said, when he heard that McKinley had died, "Now, that damned Cowboy, is in The White House!", referring to Theodore Roosevelt. Hanna had maneuvered McKinley, into the Presidency, and The Republicans, had talked McKinley, into putting Roosevelt, on the Ticket; thinking that, while McKinley was a Veteran, and popular; adding Roosevelt, The Hero of San Juan Hill; would improve his chances of reelection. McKinley was inaugurated March 15, 1901; and served, until He died, September 13; giving him, 4 years, 5 months, and 29 days; in office. Roosevelt finished McKinley's Term, then won one of His own, giving Him 7 years, 6 months, and 2 days; in office, not quite 2 terms. McKinley was the only other President, killed in office (besides John Kennedy, in November, 1963) in The Twentieth Century. The other two Presidents, to die, in Office, during that time; were Warren Harding, of a Heart Attack, brought on by Congestive Heart Failure, in August, 1923; and Franklin Roosevelt, who had several serious ailments, plus paralysis, from Poliomyelitis; bringing on a Cerebral Hemmoriage, April 12, 1945. McKinley's favorite flower, was the Scarlet Carnation, which he frequently wore, in his lapel, considering it, a "good luck charm". According to accounts, He had just given the one, in his lapel; to a little girl, who had admired it; when the next person in line, Leon Czglogz (not sure of the spelling), who had a pistol, concealed in his bandaged hand, and pretended, that he wanted to shake McKinley's hand; fired that pistol, into McKinley's abdomen. The President lingered about a week, and succumbed to gangrene, from the wound. In McKinley's Memory, the Scarlet Carnation was named Ohio's State Flower, and a statue of McKinley, is located at the main entrance, to the Ohio Statehouse.
you were where? what city, what day? let me help you; there was no twitter, there was no you, your parents weren’t even born yet. making lite of murder, in a public forum, gives one a bad reputation...
Also the same year the first botched execution by hangin was ever done his head ripped off and drops down on top his body because of ppl who never did one before.black Jack was his name he robbed a train and lost an arm cuz the conductor shot him in it he was an outlaw!!!look it up on here.🤗
Wrong! The (attempted) execution by hanging of John Babbacombe Lee occurred in 1885! Three times they tried to hang him and three times they failed. Also William Duell survived being hanged way back in 1740 and he was exiled instead. So much for your "first" botched execution by hanging (the g isn't optional!)
Listen to how the earlier Americans spoke so well what happened now everyone is so dull and droll it really sucks to think that those moments when Americans were so well spoken is all but a memory.
Philadelphia Phillies slugger Ed Delahanty took the assassination news hard. McKinley had befriended Delahanty. They both were from Ohio and had known each other from there.

My favourite Murdoch Mysteries episode deals with the aftermath of the McKinley assasination.
Why do they always say "Stop." at the end of a sentence in that time period?
That was (and maybe still is) standard on telegram and radio messages of the time to show (when they are being read aloud for others) where one sentence ends and another begins.
Didn't you get those on your telegrams from Sherman?

I have a Galesburg, Illinois newspaper which contains an announcement of my maternal grandmother’s birth. But the bold headline of that paper was McKinley’s assassination.
So...John Adams was reincarnated ... as Teddy Roosevelt!
Underrated comment 😂😂
If he’d had a better doctor, he wouldn’t have died.
No antibiotics at that time. Gangrene was very common for wounds. Responsible for many of the deaths and amputations during the civil war.
They kill you and than walk into your funeral like it’s nothing and that’s what I see in this video
???
Back then he was told not to worry, to go on vacation that all was well. Now Presidents go on vacation while the world falls apart.
Could the assassination of 4 of our presidents be related to the vice president and could they all have this in common, meaning a conspiracy
The roosevelts were traitors to the country.
I just wish that someone would do a more thorough investigation as to how much Michael Jackson was involved in the deaths of both John Lennon, & Elvis Presley. We all know that he had a hand in the demise of both musicians, but the cover-up of what, or how much he was involved goes past being criminal. Just because Michael Jackson is dead, doesn't mean he shouldn't be investigated for his role in both of the murders!

Facts.
Mount Rushmore has it right.
Would like to Add FDR!
There's a little museum in North Creek, N.Y. dedicated to Roosevelt's midnight ride from the slopes of Mt. Marcy to the train station. It's a fascinating time capsule of 1900s America.
President should have kept security guard 💂.
He actually should've had better doctors.
One of our greatest Presidents!
Your favorite president is Miliard Filmore
You’re right. McKinley was one of the best

For some reason .. long decades after my time there ... I’ve suddenly become aware that my grammar school was NAMED after this American President. MCKINLEY ...
i know his nose got broke when they captured him, what's going on with his head? looks like he as a full head bandage on.
Pretty sure after McKinley was shot, the people around him starting beating up the guy who shot McKinley.
To which McKinley told them to stop.
@@time_for_toast4922 plus he was small and Yankees have never missed a chance to beat a smaller man or a smaller country

0:30 YO I just climbed that mountain last year. That’s awesome
I will say this, about Ken Burns: He has a passion, and genius; for bringing History, particularly American History, alive. He and his staff, seem to have an inexhaustible energy, and will; to do the mountains of research, necessary; to accomplish this. He also has made good choices in his choice of actors, for "voice-overs".
Personally, I would like him, to do a piece on American Football, concentrating on professional football. Professional American-style Football goes back, nearly as far as College Football, and is quintessentially American, starting in the industrial towns of the Mid-Atlantic, and Great Lakes States. Most of the players had ethnic backgrounds, and names, and Jim Thorpe, a Sac and Fox Original American; was one of the organizers of The National Football League. Some attention should also be given to the "start-up" leagues, that competed with the NFL, including The All-American Football Conference; which has been badly treated by the NFL.
The AAFC's Cleveland Browns, in the persons of Marion Motley and Bill Willis, broke the Color line in professional team sports, and did it, more than six months before The Brooklyn Dodgers did it, with Jackie Robinson; when Motley and Willis played for Cleveland, against The Miami Seahawks, in early September, 1946. Motley was a punishing Fullback, who at one time held the Yards-per-carry record in the NFL; and Willis was a Middle Guard for the Browns Defense, and was known for his cat-like quickness, and agility. Willis became the template, for today's Middle Linebackers. The Browns were also the first "perfect season" team, in Professional Football, in 1948; unbeaten, and untied, and won the AAFC Title that year. The AAFC folded, after the 1949 Season, and four franchises, The Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Colts, and New York Yankees; were accepted into the NFL.
While Cleveland dominated the NFL, in its first 5 NFL Seasons, winning all 5 Eastern Conference Titles, and winning 3 NFL titles, against the Los Angeles Rams, Detroit Lions, and the Rams, again; The 49ers managed to stay in the League, while Baltimore folded, and The New York franchise was temporarily put on the shelf. Three years after the Baltimore Colts folded; the City, and Fans; of Baltimore, persuaded the NFL, to move the Yankee franchise to Baltimore, and renamed it the Colts. Cleveland won a 7th Eastern Conference Championship, in 1957; but lost to The Detroit Lions in the Championship Game, and Baltimore, under Weeb Ewbanks, and Johnny Unitas, won two Western Conference, and two NFL titles, in 1958, and 1959. This means that, in the Decade following the AAFC folding; the AAFC franchises won 9 Conference Titles, out of 20; and 5 of 10 NFL Championships; not too bad, for a defunct league. Detroit, Los Angeles, and New York, were the only NFL original franchises to win during this period, with Detroit winning 4 Conference titles, and 3 Championships, Los Angeles winning 3 Conference, and 1 League Championship, and New York, 3 Conference, and 1 League Championship. Chicago managed to win a Conference Title, in 1956.
Can we discuss the multiple lawsuits filed against UNUM (the sponsor) by State Attorney Generals and the pizza Parties UNUM held for canceling policies or the corrupt Doctors, like Ronald Gotts MD who canceled polices without reviewing them..
A despicable company !!

Oh my god John Adams is quoting Teddy Roosevelt
Very interesting, but incorrectly titled. It is much more about Roosevelt than McKinley.
The video is about what Mckinley's assassination lead to, which was Roosevelt's ascension to the presidency.
@@mmjahink Yes, I do not need any clarification.
And Obama pushed for removing his name from Alaska's highest peak, Mount McKinley. Why don't we rename Kennedy Airport to Idlewild, by that logic?
From the time of McKinley's death until TR was inaugurated the Speaker of the House would have been the Acting President.
Angst1966. I was taught that unless the vice president is also dead, the VP is immediately, automatically president, not the house speaker.
@David Brown Since TR was the sitting Vice President, when President McKinley died the next in line after TR would be the House Speaker. This would have only been for less than a day until TR was sworn in as President. Once TR was sworn in, then the House Speaker would have been first in line to the Presidency since back then the President didn't have the authority to appoint a new VP.
@@DavidBrown-jk2pm Right. When the president stops breathing, the VP succeeds to the presidency, even without taking the oath. Lyndon Johnson didn't need to take the oath when JFK died, but he wanted the country to see that the formal process was still being observed.
@@basilmarasco1975- No, LBJ did it for two reasons:
1. To insult, humiliate, and torment Robert Kennedy, who begged LBJ for the return of JFK's body to the White House before LBJ would take the oath.
2. To stall the departure of LBJ's plane to Washington D.C. so the body of JFK (that, as we now know, was actually not the body that was inside the casket on LBJ's plane) could be secretly transported to Bethesda Naval Hospital in a separate plane ahead of schedule, in order to remove, prior to the planned autopsy in that hospital, any bullet fragments from JFK's brain that would contradict the 'lone shooter'/'three shots from behind' narrative, and to patch up the most heavily damaged parts of the skull and hair to obfuscate the large exit wound in the back of JFK's head that countless eyewitnesses have described in great detail.
LBJ was a monster who killed animals for fun when he was young (poor donkey!).
This is so heartbreakingly sad. Had He not developed gangrene He would have survived. God rest His soul. 🙏🏼🌹
Was that John Adam’s doing the voice over at the end?!
The heading to this story should be Roosevelt's becomes president.
I wanted to hear more about President McKinley's Assassination...
I thought this was about McKinley
Niall Hogan My thoughts exactly.
Exactly
My great great great great granddad is William Mckinley
Silkydirector sure
Silkydirector Lier
Silkydirector you son of a bitch
Chris Ocampo I know right, this dude is a fucking lier
That might be true, you never know
Vice Prez really needed cell phone.
How justice use to be: Leon Czolgosz shot Mckinley Sept. 6th, 1901. McKinley died Sept 14th. Czolgosz went on trial for murder Sept. 23rd, was found guilty and sentenced to death Sept.26th, was executed in the electric chair October 29th.
I'm confused. It sounds like you believe it's actually a good thing to rush to judgement and close the case of the assassination of a world leader and quickly silence the 'lone nut' who (is supposed to have) carried out the assassination by sentencing & putting him to death in less than two months. You don't really think this was a good thing, do you?
If McKinley was president today, we wouldn't have half the problems we have today. He faced and conquered problems. A great man.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_McKinley
Emphasis on conquered (Philippines, Hawaii, etc)
T.R. made a mistake by not running in 1908 and trying again in 1912. He could have possibly solidified Progressive policies well into the future and been the 2nd longest serving President behind his cousin, FDR. If this would have occurred, perhaps the nation wouldn't have needed FDR to bail us out again from The GOP's perpetual ruinous policy's. Hoover(GOP): Depression. Bush 2, (GOP): Great Recession, Trump(GOP): COVID-19. It will be written..
WWII ended depression not Roosevelt.
The depression was caused by world War I and the reparations on Germany.
US was primary lender to Germany and they defaulted on their loans causing banks to crash and world wide depression
2007 financial crisis is the breakdown of trust that occurred between banks the year before the 2008 financial crisis. It was caused by the subprime mortgage crisis, which itself was caused by the unregulated use of derivatives. ... Despite these efforts, the financial crisis still led to the Great Recession.
Subprime mortgage was a direct result of laws created before Bush 2
Covid-19 came from China and it infected the whole world it wasn't Trump!
if I ever get a telegram, I want John Lithgow to read it aloud.
Mark Hanna, who was a Cleveland Industrialist, and behind-the-scenes political operative, said, when he heard that McKinley had died, "Now, that damned Cowboy, is in The White House!", referring to Theodore Roosevelt. Hanna had maneuvered McKinley, into the Presidency, and The Republicans, had talked McKinley, into putting Roosevelt, on the Ticket; thinking that, while McKinley was a Veteran, and popular; adding Roosevelt, The Hero of San Juan Hill; would improve his chances of reelection. McKinley was inaugurated March 15, 1901; and served, until He died, September 13; giving him, 4 years, 5 months, and 29 days; in office. Roosevelt finished McKinley's Term, then won one of His own, giving Him 7 years, 6 months, and 2 days; in office, not quite 2 terms. McKinley was the only other President, killed in office (besides John Kennedy, in November, 1963) in The Twentieth Century. The other two Presidents, to die, in Office, during that time; were Warren Harding, of a Heart Attack, brought on by Congestive Heart Failure, in August, 1923; and Franklin Roosevelt, who had several serious ailments, plus paralysis, from Poliomyelitis; bringing on a Cerebral Hemmoriage, April 12, 1945.
McKinley's favorite flower, was the Scarlet Carnation, which he frequently wore, in his lapel, considering it, a "good luck charm". According to accounts, He had just given the one, in his lapel; to a little girl, who had admired it; when the next person in line, Leon Czglogz (not sure of the spelling), who had a pistol, concealed in his bandaged hand, and pretended, that he wanted to shake McKinley's hand; fired that pistol, into McKinley's abdomen. The President lingered about a week, and succumbed to gangrene, from the wound. In McKinley's Memory, the Scarlet Carnation was named Ohio's State Flower, and a statue of McKinley, is located at the main entrance, to the Ohio Statehouse.
President McKinley was a fine man and it's sad that he's best remembered today for being murdered.
What they don’t really talk about… Is how he was opposed to the inflationary systems we have today… And was all about the gold standard.
FtheFs
I was there. It was a terrible day. The news spread quickly on Twitter.
you were where? what city, what day? let me help you; there was no twitter, there was no you, your parents weren’t even born yet. making lite of murder, in a public forum, gives one a bad reputation...

What was this clip originally used for
The guy who hit McKinley's killer was a black guy Walter Parker. He's not mentioned but it's true
We have give thanks to these great President s McKinley Theodore .r and Delenor. R these stories are inspiring 🇺🇸
There are two presidential assassinations every one knows about, and two most people don’t know anything about.
Also the same year the first botched execution by hangin was ever done his head ripped off and drops down on top his body because of ppl who never did one before.black Jack was his name he robbed a train and lost an arm cuz the conductor shot him in it he was an outlaw!!!look it up on here.🤗
Good.
Served the bastard right.
Wrong! The (attempted) execution by hanging of John Babbacombe Lee occurred in 1885! Three times they tried to hang him and three times they failed. Also William Duell survived being hanged way back in 1740 and he was exiled instead. So much for your "first" botched execution by hanging (the g isn't optional!)
Cameras but no cars yet...
Roosevelt killed McKinley
This is about Roosevelt not McKinley.....
It tells about the McKinley assassination, didn't you listen?
True, but McKinley wasn’t all that interesting in the first place.
It is not just Roosevelt and the other president William McKenley
@@iVenge actually he is. He basically turned us into a world power that we are to this day. He is one of the best
@@romanlegion2621 *worst
How convenient for VP Roosevelt. Poor McKinley was a fall man for him. The rest is covered history fo their family. Sad at the expense of others.
Those people those people look to be standing next to an empty casket I don't see anything in the casket unless that was taken before he was put in it
Wow gangrene! The presidency should have the Best medical facility and specialists!
Yes, they had him die on purpose...
You even can feel it wasn't quite right.
Probably did by those day standards more importantly didn't have antibiotics
Great American Voice and History.
If you're going to insert the totally unnecessary subtitles, at least get them right.
Listen to how the earlier Americans spoke so well what happened now everyone is so dull and droll it really sucks to think that those moments when Americans were so well spoken is all but a memory.
Great assassin
He died of gangrene.....or you meant that sarcastically ?
This series is available FOR FREE on youtube and other sites. None of this short clip crap
1:08 I know John Lithgow’s voice when I hear it
Is that John Lithgow?
What did they do to the guy who assassinated President Mc Kinley ?
He got a $200 fine.
No, he got a death penalty. Obviously.
Executed within 2 months!
Philadelphia Phillies slugger Ed Delahanty took the assassination news hard. McKinley had befriended Delahanty. They both were from Ohio and had known each other from there.
