In a shocking turn of events, the U.S. Secret Service foiled a brazen assassination plot targeting President William McKinley in New York City. On August 20, 1900, authorities arrested four notorious anarchists, including Notable Morrstra and Mischel Welda, accused of conspiring to kill the President. The alleged plotters, who had been lurking in the city for weeks, were apprehended on a barge in New York harbor.
