Thank you so much for pointing that out. You’re right. And actually, given that McKinley’s assassination was just a few years before, it’s surprising Denver Police did not worry about it more than they did.

I’ll amend my article over the weekend. Thank you.

I think it worth noting that in the prior 43 years, so well within the memories of anyone over age 55, were the assassinations of Presidents Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley, the latter just 7 years before. Security was not a matter to be taken lightly, then or now.
