THE WILDE-QUEENSBERY LIBEL CASE.
[United Press Association.]
London, 4th April.
At the trial of the Marquis of Queensbery on the charge of libelling Oscar Wilde, the plaintiff was subjected to a stringent cross-examination with the view of showing that "Dorian Grey," and some articles in the magazine Chameleon, with which he is connected, are of an immoral tendency. Wilde insisted that they were merely an expression of artistic faculty. His letters to Lord Alfred Douglas were prose poems—extraordinary, perhaps, but not justifying an immoral interpretation. He admitted that he gave one of his blackmailers £21, and lunched with him in a private room afterwards.
