m National Committee rooms during the late
Presidential canpaign, thought Gultcuu very

Guiteau here interjected his customary com
1ucnts. :" This gentleman wasn't in position to
know about matters there. He was only Il clerk
anyway. Gov. Jewell. ex-senator Dorsey, and
the rest OF us boys were the oucs that did the
work there"
JOHN 4. MORSE,
coIorei, attorney-at-law, saw Gufteau at the
White House during March and April; took him
to be crazy man.
Mrs. sCOyHLE

sketch Of Gujteau's life, commencing with his

in Chicago, where he went to school, She recol-
lcctcd nothing special about him then, except
that he was very atfcctionate, and she was very
much attached to him. Five or six years later
he went to Ann !Arbor to attend school. She
went to Ann Arbor to see him. Us she had been
informed how he was going ot-worso

found he had abandoned his studies, and was
giving his whole time ard attention to Studying

other young men, and give up all that stuff.
Her appeals had no effect upon him. however,
and she made up her 1aind he was crazy. She
told her uncle, who lived at Ann Arbor, to pay
no more attention to him, but let him go his
own way, as he was clear gone She after
wards visited him at tho Oneidn Community, hut
hardly had any conversation with him, us they
