THE WILDE CASE.
London, April 30.
Sir Edward Clarke asked that a verdict of not guilty might be given on the conspiracy counts, but the judge declined. Sir Edward then addressed the jury, intimating his intention of calling Wilde as a witness.
Mr. Gill to-day withdrew the charges of conspiracy.
Sir Edward Clarke explained that the counsel for Wilde were entirely responsible for the sensational ending in the Queensberry-Wilde trial. They recognized that the Jury would not convict the Marquis of Queensberry. Oscar Wilde then gave evidence.
