Edward Saftig, arrested in St Louis, claimed involvement in an anarchist plot to kill President McKinley in Buffalo. He described meeting Frank Harrigan and Leon Czolgosz, assisting by tying a handkerchief around the assassin’s hand, and traveling from St Louis to Buffalo. Saftig said Harrigan paid his way and that he later returned home, while witnesses placed him in St Louis on the day of the shooting. The confession faces skepticism amid doubts about Saftig’s mental state.
