CLOSE OF THE TRIAL.
A Sensational Ending Followed by
the Arrest of Wilde.
LONDON, April 5 - Before 10 o'clock this morning every available foot of space in the court room was filled with spectators. The Marquis of Queensberry at 10.20 A.M. entered the court, looking calm and confident of the result. Promptly at 10.30 A.M. Justice Collins entered and the court was opened. Oscar Wilde was absent.
Before 10 o'clock today every available foot of space in the courtroom in the Old Bailey was filled with spectators, who were ready to spend the day in court. The Marquis at 10:20 a.m. entered court, looking calm and confident of the result. Promptly at 10:30 a.m, Justice Collins entered and the court was opened. Oscar Wilde, however, was absent.
Mr. Carson said that he hoped he had demonstrated 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 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, counsel said, that this man has been so long tolerated in London society. Wilde's conduct in regard to the boy at Worthing, continued Mr. Carson, was an instance 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 a public school colors upon his hat.

THE CASE WITHDRAWN.

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 began to announce the withdrawal of the case on behalf of his client.

Wilde was arrested at the Cadogan Hotel, Sloane street, and taken in a cab by two detectives to Scotland Yard.
WILDE LOCKED UP.
Wilde was captured at the Cadogan Hotel, Sloane street, and taken in a cab by a detective to Scotland Yard. He was very pale, but cool , when he reached there. Few persons witnessed his arrival. He had merely called at the Cadogan with a couple of friends, when at 6.30 o'clock a detective walked into the office and asked for him. The officer was told that Wilde was not staying there, but the detective was not to be put off with any such technical explanation and insisted, whether Wilde was staying there or not, that the man he wanted to see was in the hotel. He was thereupon shown a room and upon entering found Wilde sitting down.
The officer at once told Wilde that he was under arrest and bade him prepared to accompany him. Wilde said nothing, but immediately went with the detective, who took him to Scotland Yard, where the warrant was read. The prisoner remained silent throughout the proceedings. He was then taken to Bow street and placed in the dock in the police station. Here he stood with his hands in his pockets while the charge against him was being taken. A police inspector read the charge allowed and asked Wilde if he had anything to say, adding the usual warning that anything he said might be used against him. The prisoner remained apparently indifferent and made no reply. He was then searched, after which he was locked in a cell.
Few persons witnessed Wilde's arrival there, and those who did maintained silence. At 8:10 p.m. Wilde was arraigned at the Bow Street Police Court. He was placed in the dock in the police station.
