Found assassin's name leon czolgosz and looked for connection with "free love". Came upon Abraham Isaak whom Czolgosz visited in Chicago before the assassination. Isaak was an Russian Mennonite turned anarchist who espoused free love, published the Firebrand in Portland Oregon (bringing free love there among other views) and Free Society in Chicago. Isaak thought Czolgosz was a spy and refused to help him. Because of the one meeting Isaak was arrested for aiding Czolgosz - and was cleared. All to say - those were interesting times.Gwen Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981032385410597374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-90984018035222711612012-07-27T06:59:09.497-07:002012-07-27T06:59:09.497-07:00John Humphrey Noyes founded the Oneida Community, ...John Humphrey Noyes founded the Oneida Community, which Leon Czolgosz was later a member of.

On the "one more search" principle, I did ["free love"] in Books, which led to the book "Free Love in Utopia". An in book search of the same phrase led to a March 4, 1850 letter from Noyes to E. H. Hamilton, on p. 234. This confirms the Noyes attribution and the date and seems to be the earliest attributed use of the phrase.tlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149166535176389639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-58285439406712348562012-07-25T21:02:14.648-07:002012-07-25T21:02:14.648-07:00elsewhere on Wikipedia:

Guiteau reportedly wanted to purchase a British Bulldog revolver with ivory grips instead of wooden ones (as he believed they would look nicer when the gun was displayed in a museum[4]) but decided not to spend the extra dollar that the ivory-gripped model would have cost.[4] In all, he paid $10 for the revolver, a box of cartridges, and a penknife,[5] before spending the next day familiarising himself with the revolver's operation and firing 10 practice shots with it into trees along the banks of the Potomac River.[4] He eventually used the revolver to shoot Garfield a week or so later in the Sixth Street Railway Station in Washington, D.C. After Guiteau's trial, the revolver was placed in the Smithsonian Institution but some time later the revolver disappeared.[4]<br />The large caliber British Bulldogs are now considered collector's pieces, since their ammunition is no longer commercially manufactured."</i><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:WebleyBBD.JPG" rel="nofollow">ivory Bulldog</a><br /><br />All this ties in with the earlier search challenge regarding the insanity defense - U.S. Congressman Daniel Sickles.<br />Leon Czolgosz's execution (Auburn Prison on October 29, 1901) was one of the early uses of the electric chair, the first being William Kemmler, also in New York's Auburn Prison on August 6, 1890.remmijhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985809654574916217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-62067835372323467572012-07-25T18:55:28.636-07:002012-07-25T18:55:28.636-07:00I had recently read Assassination Vacation by Sara...I had recently read <i>Assassination Vacation</i> by Sarah Vowell which outlines the history of many of the assassinations of presidents (Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley’s).
