2 CSI: Buffalo

3 Confined to a hospital bed in Buffalo, NY by two gunshot wounds delivered by an anarchist Polish immigrant eight days earlier, guided by angels climbing the highest peak in North America singing the words to the hymn “Nearer My God To Thee,” the reigns of executive power progressed to one who took a rough ride to the presidency. Who was shot and why? Cold Case # US 06-0919-01

4 On September 6, 1901, U.S. President William McKinley spent the morning visiting Niagara Falls with his wife before returning to the Pan- American Exposition in Buffalo, New York in the afternoon to spend a few minutes greeting the public. in Buffalo By about 3:30 p.m., President McKinley stood inside the Temple of Music building at the Exposition, ready to begin shaking the hands of the public as they streamed into the building. Many had been waiting for hours outside in the heat for their chance to meet the President. Unbeknownst to the President and the many guards who stood nearby, among those waiting outside was 28-year-old anarchist Leon Czolgosz who was planning to kill President McKinley. Leon Czolgosz In Czolgosz's right hand, he held a.32 caliber Iver-Johnson revolver, which he had covered by wrapping a handkerchief around the gun and his hand. Although Czolgosz's swaddled hand was noticed before he reached the President, many thought it looked like it covered an injury and not that it was hiding a gun. Also, since the day had been hot, many of the visitors to see the President had been carrying handkerchiefs in their hands so that they could wipe the sweat off their faces. CSI: President McKinley
