OSCAR WILDE THE BEAST
Marquis of Queensberry's Accusations
Go on Record in England
as Proven.
Libel Suit Dismissed and the Complainant Will Be Brought
to Justice.
London, April 5. -- Before 10'clock to-day every available foot of spacenin the old Bailey court room was filled with spectators, armed with newspapers and packages of sandwiches, and otherwise ready to spend the day in court in the most comfortable manner possible. The marquis, at 10:20, entered court, looking calm and confident of the result. Promptly at 10:30 Justice Collins entered and court was opened. Oscar Wilde was absent. Edward M. Carson, Q. C., leading counsel for the defense, resumed his speech, which was not concluded yesterday when the court adjourned. Carson said he hoped that 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 Douglass and Wilde. Continuing, counsel said he now 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," counsel said, "that this man has been so long tolerated in London society."

Carson was continuing his terrible denunciation of Oscar Wilde when Sir Edward Clarke and others of the plaintiff's counsel left the courtroom for consultation. They soon returned, and Sir Edward asked for permission to interrupt the proceedings. Then, amid the most impressive silence, the leading counsel for plaintiff announced the withdrawal of the case on behalf of his client.

CLARKE'S APOLOGY
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 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 he did this more especially in view of the extracts which had been read from Wilde's novel of modern social life, "Dorian Gray," and from the magazine, "The Chamelion."

Carson here interrupted, saying if there was to be a verdict of not guilty it also involved a verdict of justification, as this was a case in which his client must succeed upon that plea. Justice Collins said the jury could put any limit on their verdict that the words "posing as a --- --- ---" were 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 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, returned a verdict as directed by Judge Collins, namely, that the Marquis of Queensberry was not guilty of libel and that the words which he had written on the card which formed the basis of the suit were published in the interest of the public. The verdict was received with loud applause in the court, and Justice Collins made no attempt to check it. The Marquis of Queensberry was then discharged from custody and left the court triumphant, smiling and surrounded by friends.
