The brain pathologist, Edward Charles Spitzka, who did the autopsy on Garfield's assassin (Charles Guiteau) found that Guiteau's brain was structurally abnormal, perhaps predisposing him to insanity.
The man who examined the brain of McKinley's assassin, Leon Czolgosz, was Edward Anthony Spitzka, the son of the other Spitzka.

@kluurs Is that photo real? Why would somebody make a very expensive photo of two dirty kids in 1904? At that time, taking a photo was an event for which people dressed specifically.

Retraction - No, apparently not. It is shown as Al Capone and his brother on a few sites which is why I thought it legit - but up on further sleuthing it appears to be a photograph of Vivian Maier's who wasn't born till 1926. Thus, you're right, not Al Capone.
