On this date, October
29, 1901, the assassin of President William McKinley, Leon Czolgosz was
executed by the electric chair in Auburn Prison in New York. He was executed on
Oct. 29, 53 days after the crime and 47 after the president’s death. I
personally wish that the death penalty could be enforced in a swift and sure
manner like they did in those years where the crime is guilty beyond any
doubt.
