Mr. Edward M. Carson, Q. C., leading counsel for the defense, resumed his speech, which was not yet completed when the court adjourned. He said the marquis was justified in bringing to a climax in the way he did the case between his son and Wilde. Continuing, counsel said he approached a more painful duty. It would be his task to call several young men who would tell their own tales and who would show that the man, Taylor, frequently referred to during the proceedings, was Wilde's procurer. It was no wonder that the marquis of Queensberry protested against the intimacy between his son and Wilde. The wonder is, the counsel said, that this man had been so long tolerated in London society. His conduct in regard to the boy at Worthing, continued Mr. Carson, was an evidence of his disgusting audacity. He picked up this boy on a pier and introduced him to his family, dressed him up as a gentleman and put 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. They soon returned and Sir Edward asked for permission to interrupt the proceedings. Then, amidst 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 his desire 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, 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 --" 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 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 defendant was true in substance and in fact, and that the words complained of were published for the public benefit.

Oscar Wilde has just written a letter to the newspapers, in which he says: "It was impossible to prove my case without putting Lord Alfred Douglas in the witness box against his father. Lord Alfred was 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 and let fall upon my shoulders whatever shame and ignominy that might result from not prosecuting the marquis of Queensberry.
