About
Leon Frank Czolgosz was born May 5, 1873, and worked in wire manufacturing until the economic Panic of 1893 cost him his job. He turned to anarchism in the years that followed, coming to see McKinley as a symbol of oppression. On September 6, 1901, he shot the president in Buffalo, New York, and was arrested on the spot. McKinley's wound became infected and he died eight days later, on September 14. Czolgosz was convicted of first degree murder within a month and executed by electric chair on October 29, 1901.
