TIE TRIBULATIoNs OF THE MAN WHO
MARRIED. GUITEAU's SISTER.

to Bis wife:
You ere willing to cast from yol
the love nf your children, the afiec
ton of your husband, to walk alont
the dresry way Of old age, and di,
neglected, it may be in Poor House
for whst2 to nurse cole, ieeliDgles
viper, who could not. or would not
return 3 single emotion of thankful
J ness. II you go CT on that tangent
you go to end your days in the hope
less, cherries prison of a lunatiC
asylum. Mark my words for that
II you 60 Of in this manner, shall
come to feel that the wrong done e
me and my family by toe wretch car
only be expisted by hanging him. and
will DO what ! can to prevent any
Communication of sentence. The life
Of good torse or q dog is much
more valuable than biz, and it does
lot need repeated tbTusts Of the muir
deIous knife into the hearts of those
dearest to me to lead me to drive one
home into his vile cRrcss.
On April 3Qth be writes J. W. Gui-
teau &c follows:
Ifshe comes back here TO stay and
keeps on ss she has been doing there
will be somebody killed. / snAll
never stGy twenty four hours in 9
town and have her going Wilfully with
men, &c che has been doing With
Harper Johnson and Early, without
giving the men distinct notice that
they indulge in such conduct at their
peril. I have nothibg to lose and
care not for consequences. give
you and her both Dotics that l shall
do DO business until 1 get this matter
done. Fanny had to degrade herself
to go to bis Office and ask for an order
to get her own mattress, loaned to her
mother to make q comfortable bed
while there. ! would not 60, for if |
had there would have been a scene,
and a bull dog pistol in it.
In a letter to his wife, May 4th,
Scoville Erites;
You have proved yourself even
more upgrateful, more hesrtless,
more utterly depraVed, than either OF
your brothers. and that is saying q
great deal. | am going vigorously to
attack the three Guiteaus, and those
that are not hung will wish they had
been. Your internal brother at Wash.
ington, and the like internal one at
New York, shsll neither receive any
quarter. They shall 60 down with
yourself, and Bolin--and Harper
johnson and Early. | have the light
ming shafts nearly ready to strike,
and no power shall stay my hand. /
beVe asked, begged, entreatsd for my
wife. They have 6efrauded me of
her, ruined her, and Knocked at my
calamity. They shall see what an
outraged man can do. You could not
succeed better if, with the shreWd-
ness OF q demon, you had planned to
drive me to desperation. You calmly
See your husband and children 20
down to destruction, and do worse
than to throw yourself before the
wheels of Juggernsut. For what2 The
pretense is, for love OF q heartless, soul
less murderer, who never touched q
human hand bat to pollHte it, and Who
never gladdened by an hour q single
heart. What shsll do next I do not
know. One thing ! know, that, when
l start, the American people will see
some disclosures of Guiteauism that
will not help the wretch at Washing
ton, nor bis miserable brother in New
York, whom you have cursed Rs q
dog during the last six months, and
now cuddle to his foul embraces.
Shall ever. kiss the lips bis have de-
1ledS l only endured him while there
was some chance OF his aiding me in |
saving the other brother on your ac-
count, as you we'll know. I hoped
when feit New York last that l Wsv /
done with him, and would have been |
bad he left you alone. I think he |
will and out. like some others, before |
get through with him, that it does /
1ot pay to come between man and
wife. Row, one last appeal-come
o your husband. Do not drive me
o the alternative OF exposing eli your
insane freaks before the court, as / !
hall certainly do il you persist, II
will telegraph you a pass when YOU
Tish to come. if you will telegraph
de. k0t yen rnusticome to Ess, and
ne alone. will have no rival ia the
saity OF my wife. Your Loving hus- J
ano, GEORGE EeovILLE. |
