Charles Parker, 19 years of age, was the first witness examined. He gave in detail the particulars of his introduction to Wilde and Taylor and stated that the latter said Wilde was « good for money ». Parker testified that he had frequently dined with Wilde at various restaurants, and detailed the conversation between them on those occasions. He also told of visits to the Savoy hotel with Wilde and of meeting Wilde at his chambers in St. James Palace. He made frequent visits to the latter place. Parker described the conduct of himself and Wilde at these meetings and was aware that he had received money and other presents upon almost every occasion. The story told by Parker, if true, proves the case of the Treasury against Wilde.

Although Oscar Wilde is languishing in jail as a criminal without bail on a heinous charge, still he has a number of influential friends who are zealous of his defense, notwithstanding that they are intimate enough with him to know most of his secret private life. Lord Douglas of Hawick, second and eldest living son of the Marquis of Queensberry, is one of them. He is altogether the manliest looking of the family. Before the death of his eldest brother, Viscount Drumlanrig, he was well and favorably known as plain Percy Douglas. He had an unsmirched reputation and entirely differs in every respect from his effeminate younger brother, Lord Alfred Douglas. Since his return from Australia last fall, Lord Douglas of Hawick has been the almost constant associate of Oscar Wilde. In an interview this afternoon, he said that every one of his family, except his father, had refused to believe the accusation against Wilde. He himself, he said, was willing at any time to go up on the witness stand in Wilde’s behalf and he was vehement in his denunciation of Wilde’s counsel for having withdrawn from the suit.

The maximum penalty for the crime with which Wilde is charged is life imprisonment, and the minimum 20 years; until 1894, when the law was modified, the penalty for the offence was death. One thing is certain, however, that no matter what may be the outcome of the case, whether Wilde does free or is sent to prison, the death knell of Wilde has been rung and the corpse if prepared for burial.

New York, April 6 — A London special to the Sun says — "The career of Oscar Wilde has ended in the blackest of infamy. All London is saying it is a pity the miserable creature had not sufficient pluck to blow out his brains before the police seized him and put him behind bolts and bars to await the punishment for the crimes of which he is already proved guilty. The charge against Wilde, for some reason not explained, is not felony but misdemeanor, and the maximum penalty is two years at hard labor, but the Grand Jury may change the indictment to a more serious offence. He must remain in jail until this trial takes place in May, for the Magistrate is certain to refuse to accept bail. The cynical and supercilious bravado which Wilde manifested during the trial changed when he found himself in custody. He listened in silence to the reading of the warrant. He had been aware for an hour or two that escape was impossible, for detectives had been closely following him. He refused to say a word to the officers or others. He asked at the police station for a separate cell and that his valet be allowed to bring him his portmanteau. The police refused all requests and locked him up like an ordinary prisoner. It is impossible to describe the sensation which the case has created in London. The effect of the exposure and of the exemplary punishment which is sure to follow in Wilde’s case, will be far reaching. It comes none too soon. The growth of this evil among certain classes of this country is appalling. The police and others are prepared to make fearful revealings as soon as it becomes evident that no other means will suffice to check and destroy the vice which undermined the civilization of the ancient Romans.
The Herald’s London special says:— Detectives have been scouring the city in search of the man Taylor, for whom a warrant has already been signed. He has been under police surveillance for some time, but was unluckily allowed to slip away one morning, and has not been seen since. It is not expected, whoever, that he has left the city.

Late to-night I hear that detectives have been scouring the city in search of the man Taylor, for whom a warrant has already been signed. He has been under police surveillance for some time, but he was unluckily allowed to slip away early this morning, and has not been seen since. It is not expected, however, that he has left the city.

The Marquis of Queensberry is receiving hundreds of congratulatory telegrams and letters.
The Marquis of Queensberry is receiving hundreds of congratulatory telegrams and letters. In an interview he said:
In an interview he said:— "I think I have done my duty, not only to my family and myself but also to the community. It has cost me £1200 and now if the law of England don’t step in I must make my own law. I have sent a message to this creature Wilde to the effect that if he chooses to leave the country I, for one, shall not lift a finger to stay him, but he must distinctly understand that if he takes my son with him I shall follow him and shoot him like a dog, but I think he ought not to be allowed to leave the country. I think he ought to be placed where he can ruin no more young men. For the part I have taken myself in this matter I can only say that I have acted absolutely and entirely from a sense of duty. Mane of my friends said, as many of these telegrams received also say, that I am to be commended for my pluck. I do not see that pluck had anything to do with it. I do not see that I could have acted otherwise than I have done. I have preserved my self-respect. I may tell you that the full measure of the man’s baseness was not revealed to me until after my own arrest at his instance. Then the evidence which accumulated and the voluntary confessions which were made to us, showed us a depth of immorality which is almost incredible."

The World’s London special says:— If Oscar Wilde’s indifference during the revelations in Court today was assumed, it was an excellence piece of acting. It seems certain that he will be convicted. The minimum penalty for the offence with which he is charged is ten years’ imprisonment, the maximum punishment is penal servitude for life. There will be a demand for an exemplary sentence, as public sentiment is aroused against the group to which he belongs. Other prosecutions may follow. Much sympathy is felt for Mrs. Wilde, who is a very estimable woman, and for his two beautiful children. A singular feature of English law is that even if her husband is convicted and sentenced to penal servitude, Mrs. Wilde cannot hey a divorce on either ground.
