LONDON, APRIL 5.
At the trial to-day of the Marquis of Queensberry on the charge of criminally libelling Oscar Wilde, the well-known author and dramatist, which resulted in the acquittal of the accused, the counsel for Oscar Wilde, in announcing his withdrawal from the case, explained that the literary works and letters of his client justified Lord Queensberry's pleas, and expressed an opinion that Wilde had posed as an immoral person. He stated that he therefore withdrew from the case, in order to avoid the production of the appalling evidence against his client that he saw would be forthcoming if the case were continued.
