GUITEAU ON THE ONEIDA COMMUNITY.
The circular which Guiteau early in 1868 issued
against the Oneida Community and which had
been preceded by a quarrel between him and
NOyeS, the chief OF the order, Is as follows:

GUITEAUs EXPERIENCE AT ONEIDA.
According to Guiteau's statement he worked in
the Oneida Community for some time and let Noyes
have the use OF his money, amounting to about
5000 After realizing the true character OF the COM
munity and the practices, which he terms horrible,
among them, he concluded to abandon their sOct-
ety. Noyes refunded his money, but refused to allow
MIN any interest or to give him anything as COM
pensatiOn for the work he had done. This irritated
Gulteau, who instituted suit to recover what he
says was due him and unlawfully withheld by
NOyeS. 1t was at this time he published the above
circular, but was induced to drop the contest be-
cause OF his father, who earnestly sympathized
with the Oneida Community.
Should Mr.. Noyes conclude to leave Clifton, Can
ada, and come to Washington to testify to the I'M
ruly and miSchtevOuS disposition of Guiteau, he
may be subjected to an examination that will bring
TO light some OF the buried mysteries of the COM
munity, which he represented so many years Gui-
teaus description OF life in the community is fright
