The Capture of Two Future Presidents?
Upon checking other sources, including a well-regarded biography of McKinley and the diary of Hayes, I discovered that McKinley was in the same hotel with Gen. Kelley, but Hayes was not with Kelley or Crook at the time.
Although the account is partly true, the fact that McNeill could have captured McKinley makes for an interesting historical footnote!
