== Legacy == {{Wikisource|The Tragedy at Buffalo}} Emma Goldman was arrested on suspicion of being involved in the assassination, but was released due to insufficient evidence. She later incurred a great deal of negative publicity when Goldman published "The Tragedy at Buffalo". In the article, she compared Czolgosz to [[Marcus Junius Brutus]], the assassin of [[Julius Caesar]], and called McKinley the "president of the money kings and trust magnates."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/exhibits/panam/law/images/tragedyatbuff.html |title=The Tragedy at Buffalo |publisher=Ublib.buffalo.edu |date=June 11, 2004 |access-date=July 12, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927085715/http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/exhibits/panam/law/images/tragedyatbuff.html |archive-date=September 27, 2011 }}</ref> Other anarchists and radicals were unwilling to support Goldman's effort to aid Czolgosz, believing that he had harmed the movement.{{sfn|Goldman|1931|pp=311β319}} The scene of the crime, the Temple of Music, was demolished in November 1901, along with the rest of the Exposition's temporary structures. A stone marker in the [[Median strip|median]] of Fordham Drive, now a residential street in Buffalo, marks the approximate spot ({{coord|42|56.321|N|78|52.416|W|display=inline}}<ref name="waymarking">{{cite web | title = Site of the Assassination of President McKinley | url = http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM1MR2 | access-date = July 30, 2010}}</ref>) where the shooting occurred. Czolgosz's revolver is on display in the Pan-American Exposition exhibit at the [[Buffalo History Museum]] in Buffalo. After Czolgosz's death, Lloyd Vernon Briggs (1863β1941), a Boston [[Psychiatry|alienist]] who later became the Director of the Massachusetts Department for Mental Hygiene, reviewed the Czolgosz case in 1901 on behalf of psychiatrist Walter Channing (1849β1921),{{sfn|Rauchway|2004|p=55}} concluding Czolgosz was insane; that conclusion has since been challenged.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Richardson |first=Heather Cox |date=Aug 24, 2003 |title=A captivating tale of a murder that mattered, and why it did |work=Chicago Tribune |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2003-08-24-0308230010-story.html |access-date=23 Nov 2022}}</ref> Czolgosz is buried at Soule Cemetery in [[Cayuga County, New York]].
