Before 10 o'clock today every available foot of space in the court room was filled with spectators, who were armed with newspapers and packages of sandwiches, and who were otherwise ready to spend the day in court, in the happiest and most comfortable manner possible. The marquis, at 10:20 a. m., entered court looking calmly confident of the result. Promptly at 10:30 Justice Collins entered, and the court was opened. Oscar Wilde, however, was absent. Edward M. Carson, Q. C., leading counsel for the defense, resumed his speech which was not finished yesterday when court adjourned. Mr. Carson said that he hoped that the marquis was justified in bringing to a climax in the way he did the connection between his son, Lord Alfred Douglas, and Wilde. Continuing, counsel said that he now approached a more painful duty. It would be his task to call the several young men who would tell their own tales, and who would show that the men Taylor, frequently referred to during the proceedings, was Wilde's procurer.

It was no wonder the Marquis of Queensberry protested against the intimacy between his son and Wilde. The wonder is, counsel said, that this man had been so long tolerated in London society. Wilde's conduct regarding the boy at Worthing, continued Carson, was an instance of his disgusting audacity. He picked up this boy on the pier and introduced him to his family, dressed him up as a gentleman and put public school colors in his hat.
DISGUSTING AUDACITY.
He picked up this boy on a pier and introduced him to his family, dressed him up as a gentleman, and put a public school colors upon his hat.
Mr. Carson was continuing his terrible denunciation of Oscar Wilde, when Sir Edward Clarke and others of Wilde's counsel left the court room for consultation. They soon returned and Sir Edward asked for permission to interrupt the proceedings. Then, amid a most impressive silence, the leading counsel for the plaintiff announced the withdrawal of the case on behalf of the client. The chief concern of Sir Edward Clarke seemed to be to justify himself in undertaking the case for Wilde. He said that after consulting with his client, who, by the way, was in the room to which his counsel adjourned, and who left the building hurriedly when Sir Edward Clarke began his statement, he asked to withdraw the suit, and on Wilde's behalf to submit to a verdict for the marquis of not guilty in regard to the words "posing as a -- -- --." Counsel said that he did this more especially in view of the extracts which had been read in court from Wilde's novel of modern social life, "Dorian Gray," and from the magazine, the Chameleon. Mr. Carson here interposed, saying that if there was to be a verdict of not guilty, it also involves a verdict of justification, as the case of his client must succeed upon that plea.

Justice Collins said, as to the jury putting any limit on their verdict, that the words "posing as a -- -- --" were either justified or not justified, if the jury consented to the course suggested and were to return a verdict of not guilty, they were also to find that the justification set up by the defense was true in substance and in fact, and that the words complained of were published for the public benefit. The jurymen consulted together for a moment, and then, without leaving their seats, they returned a verdict as directed by Justice Collins, namely that the Marquis of Queensberry was not guilty of libel, and that the words he had written on the card which formed the basis of the suit were published in the interests of the public.

Lord Alfred was extremely anxious to go into the box, but I would not allow it. Rather than put him in such a painful position I determined to retire from the case, bear upon my own shoulders whatever shame and ignominy might result from not prosecuting the Marquis of Queensberry."

To the Editor,—It would have been impossible for me to have proved my case without putting Lord Alfred Douglas in the witness-box against his father. Lord Alfred Douglas was extremely anxious to go into the box, but I would not let him do so. Rather than put him in so painful a position I determined to retire from the case, and to bear on my own shoulders whatever ignominy and shame might result from my prosecuting Lord Queensberry. Oscar Wilde.

Lord Douglas says: "Myself and every member of the family, except father, disbelieve entirely all the charges. We think them simply part of the persecution father has carried on against us as long as I can remember, and that Mr. Wilde and his counsel are to blame for not showing, as they could have done, that that was the fact."

The Morning says that Wilde received the notification of his arrest with languid nonchalance, plaintively asking whether he would be allowed to furnish bail. When accompanying the detective who made the arrest he took under his arm a copy of the "Yellow Book." When he arrived at Scotland Yard he asked whether he would be allowed a private cell, and whether he would be allowed to smoke. When the charge was read to him, accusing him of indecencies with male persons on March 25, 1895, and divers other dates, he smiled and requested that the dates be repeated.
