Black-and-white photographic portrait of Carlton E. Ladd, one of several defense attorneys in the trial of Leon F. Czolgosz for the assassination of President William McKinley in 1901 at the Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, New York. They subsequently lost the case because Czolgosz refused to cooperate with his attorneys. The prosecution easily won the trial and Czolgosz was sentenced to death.
