A more abject, pitiable spectacle than Wilde presented (says the New York World's correspondent) could not be imagined. His face haggard, his eyes bloodshot and sunken, his hair unkempt and tossed. He appeared absolutely dazed. Occasionally his body swayed to and fro, as if he were suffering intense mental agony. He sat in one corner of the dock, with his face turned steadfastly towards the witness stand and the jury, avoiding with nervous terror looking in the direction of the public galleries, where many men who had known him were sitting. He sometimes sought relief in absently drawing lines on a sheet of foolscap paper with a quill pen. His trembling hand got splashed all over with ink, and great blots got on his cuffs. He looked like one in a dream, unconscious of what he was doing. The spectacle of human abasement was shocking. Those who saw this wreck of manhood must have thought he had already atoned, as far as suffering could atone, for his crimes.

Justice Wills began summing up at half-past 1 p.m. the general tenor of his address was favourable to Wilde. During its delivery the foreman of the jury asked whether, in view of the intimacy between Lord Alfred Douglas and Alfred Wood, one of the men whose names had been brought prominently in the case, a warrant for Lord Alfred's arrest had ever been issued. The Judge replied that he thought not. The Foreman then asked if it had ever been thought of. To this the Judge replied that he could not say. He added that the suspicion that Lord Alfred Douglas would be spared if guilty was a wild idea, and a matter that they could not discuss. The present inquiry was as to whether the man in the dock was guilty of immoral practices with certain men.

The jury returned at half-past 5 o'clock, having been absent from court about four hours, and gave in a verdict of guilty. Wilde was found guilty on all the points of the indictment, including the charge with reference to persons unknown, who were also pronounced guilty. This probably refers to the Savoy Hotel evidence, to which place Wilde was accused of taking Charles Parker, a gentleman's servant, after treating the latter to a choice dinner in Kittner's restaurant.

The jurymen answered to their names in firm and decided tones and seemed to be immensely relieved when the ordeal was over.

Wilde was found guilty on all points of the indictment, including the charge with reference to persons unknown who were also pronounced guilty. This probably referred to the Savoy Hotel evidence.
The announcement of the verdict caused a great sensation in the court, as it was the general impression that Wilde would be acquitted. When the foreman of the jury delivered the verdict, Wilde, who had entered the prisoner's dock a moment before, rose from the chair on which he had been seated throughout the trial and stood with his arms on the rail of the dock. The silence which prevailed throughout the courtroom was really painful as Justice Wills ordered that Alfred Taylor should also be summoned before him. Then, in a voice trembling with emotion, the justice said: "I never before had such a case as this to deal with. Two men such as you are by the nature of your crime, lost to all sense of remorse for what you have done. To think that you, Taylor, should be the keeper of a male brothel, and that you, Wilde, a man of culture, should be such a perverter of young men. There is no doubt but that the verdict is a just one, and I shall give you the full penalty allowed by law, and I only regret that it is not more severe. You are both sentenced to hard labour for a term of two years."
