TIH: 9/6

Today in History: Friday, September  06, 2013
AP Highlight in History:
On Sept. 6, 1901, President William B. McKinley was shot and mortally wounded by anarchist Leon Czolgosz at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, N.Y. (McKinley died eight days later; Czolgosz was executed the following month.)

[For better or worse, too often for the worse, "justice" was dispensed a lot quicker back then.  On the other hand, I've never seen anyone allege that Czolgosz didn't murder the Prez]
