This action was made easier because George Foster focused suspicion on James Parker, a black waiter standing next to this event's perpetrator. This event was inspired by the similar action of Gaetano Bresci the previous year. In the immediate aftermath of this event, the perpetrator claimed to be named Fred Nobody and stated "I didn't believe one man should have so much service, and another man have none." It occurred at the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, where a man in a receiving line hid a gun under a bandage. For 10 points, identify this action perpetrated by Leon Czolgosz, after which Theodore Roosevelt succeeded to the Presidency.
