LONDON, May 25. - Oscar Wilde’s trial having reached the final stage, the Old Bailey court room was filled with interested spectators today. Sir Frank Lockwood concluded his address to the jury. The prisoner’s intimacy with Lord Alfred and the exhibition of a younger man by an older one at hotels and public places in and about London were commented upon. Referring to the letters Wilde wrote to Alfred, counsel said the jury had been told they were too low to appreciate such poetry, and he thanked God it was so, for it showed they were above the levels of beasts. (Applause which the judge promptly suppressed).

The prisoner's intimacy with Lord Alfred Douglas and the conduct of the defendant at hotels and public places in and about London were severely commented on.

This outburst was followed by applause, which the judge promptly suppressed.
Sir Edward Clarke, leading counsel for Wilde, here interposed objections to such appeals. Lockwood asked the jury to return a verdict which would prevent such a detestable and abominable vice to rear its head unblushingly in this country. Justice Wills began summing up at 1:30 p.m. The general tenor of his address was favorable to Wilde. The jury retired at 3:30 p.m. The jury returned at 5:30, having been absent four hours, and returned a verdict of guilty.
During the address of Justice Wills to the jury the foreman asked whether, in view of the intimacy between Lord Alfred Douglas and Alfred Wood, one of the men whose name has been brought prominently into 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, and the Court adjourned for lunch.
To this the judge replied that he could not say. He added that the suspicion that Lord Alfred Douglas would be spared if guilty simply because he was Lord Alfred Douglas, was a wild idea and a matter which they could not discuss. The present inquiry was as to whether the man in the dock was guilty of immoral practices with certain other men.

The jury found Wilde guilty on all the counts of the indictment, including the charge with reference to persons unknown, who are 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 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 in the dock. The silence which prevailed throughout the courtroom was really painful as Justice Wills ordered that Alfred Taylor should be also 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. To men such as you are by the nature of your crimes lost to all sense of remorse for what you have done. To think that you, Taylor, should be the keeper of a male brothel, 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 labor for the term of two years."

Wilde did not look at the judge while the sentence was being pronounced. His eyes roved around the room and his face never changed colour, and he looked like a man who had made up his mind to make the best of a bad situation. Taylor smiled when the sentence was pronounced.

While the jury was out, at the request of a representative of the Associated Press, Wilde’s counsel procured the following signed statement from Wilde: "The charges against me are entirely untrue. Youth in every form always fascinated me, because it has naturally that temperament to which the artists try to attain. All works are works produced in the moments of youth. I have no sense at all of social grades. I love society and the rich and well born on account of their luxury, culture, grace of their lives, external accents of a comely life. But anyone, ploughboy, fisherman, street arab has an interest for me, mere humanity is so wonderful. I doubt if I can ask of the young what they do. Their lack of culture leaves them open to fresh and vivid impressions."
