OSCAR WILDE IN A CELL
Sudden Collapse of His Suit Against Queensberry.
ALLEGED LIBEL FOUND TO BE
TRUE
Sir Edward Clarke Waived Defense and Consented to a Verdict of Not Guilty Which Was
Supplemented by a Declaration that the Charges Made by the
Marquis Are True—A Warrant Was Then Sworn Out and Wilde Was Arrested.
London, April 5.—Oscar Wilde, who for twenty years has, after one fashion or another, attracted to himself the attention of the cultivated world of both England and America, and who posed by turns as a languorous aesthete, a caustic cynic, and a producer of brilliant epigrams and witty paradoxes, is to-night the occupant of a Bow street police court cell on a charge which, in the eyes of most honest men, is more odious than even that of murder.

London, April 6.--Mr. Oscar Wilde, who for twenty years has, after one fashion or another, attracted to himself the attention of the cultivated world both of England and America; who has posed by turns as a languorous aesthete, as a caustic cynic and as a producer of brilliant epigrams and witty paradox is, as I write, the occupant of a Bow Street Police Court cell on a charge which in the eyes of most honest men is even more odious than that of murder.
Yesterday was a day of sensationalism which, though some of its startling effects were carefully prepared in advance by master hands, was in its essence intensely dramatic.

Thus I am told on the best authority that an arrangement as to Wilde’s withdrawal from the prosecution was arrived at between counsel late on Thursday night. Mr. Carson, however, insisted he should be allowed to continue his address to the jury long enough to bring out such essential facts as he deemed necessary.

I also hear the case had already been informally submitted to the public prosecutor, and so there was not the least delay in the action taken by that functionary in relation to obtaining a warrant for Wilde’s arrest.

Wilde Drunk When Arrested.
Wilde when arrested had been drinking heavily and very nearly fell upon the pavement when he arrived at Scotland Yard. His three hours’ detention there, however, somewhat sobered him, and during the journey to Bow street he chatted familiarly with the detectives, asking various questions as to the treatment he might expect in the cell, whether he would be seen by friends, and so forth. He was somewhat chagrined to find that he would be treated like any ordinary prisoner and that no indulgences would be allowed him.

Late to-night I hear that detectives have been scouring the city in search of the man Taylor, for whom a warrant has already been signed. He has been under police surveillance for some time, but he was unluckily allowed to slip away early this morning, and has not been seen since. It is not expected, however, that he has left the city.

"I think," said he to me this afternoon, when I found him at Carter’s Hotel, with his table littered with congratulatory telegrams, which continued to arrive in batches at frequent intervals, "I think I have done my duty, not only to my family and myself, but also to the community. It has cost me £1,200, and now if the law of England doesn’t step in I must make my own law.

Queensberry Threatens to Shoot Him.
"I have sent a message to this creature Wilde to the effect that if he chooses to leave the country I, for one, shall not lift a finger to stay him. But he must distinctly understand that if he takes my son with him I shall follow him and shoot him like a dog. But I think he ought not to be allowed to leave the country. I think he ought to be placed where he can ruin no more young men.

"For the part I have taken myself in this matter I can only say that I have acted absolutely and entirely from a sense of duty. Many of my friends said, as many of these telegrams received also say, that I am to be commended for my pluck. I do not see that pluck had anything to do with it. I do not see that I could have acted otherwise than I have done. I have preserved my self-respect.

The One Topic in London.
"I may tell you that the full measure of this man’s baseness was not revealed to me until after my own arrest at his instance. Then the evidence which was made to us showed us a depth of immorality which is almost incredible."

I need not say that London this afternoon and to-night has been completely possessed of but one topic of conversation—the arrest of Oscar Wilde. Not only has he been for a very long time a prominent figure to literary and artistic circles, but during the last few years the rumors and innuendoes which caused the Marquis of Queensberry to insist upon his son’s breaking off his intimacy with the dramatist have been insistently prevalent, and have included the names not only of Wilde and his close intimates, but of many well-known men of social as well as artistic distinction.

Things had indeed been fast in reaching a point at which no man’s name would have been safe, and it is, therefore, felt by every one that the Marquis of Queensberry has rendered a positive service to the community. This, at all events, is the opinion I heard expressed on every hand to-day.

The Old Bailey courtroom was crowded almost to suffocation this morning, when Mr. Carson resumed his speech in behalf of the Marquis of Queensberry.

Mr. Carson said he would produce overwhelming evidence of the abominable immorality of this man Wilde.

He had consulted with Wilde in the interim of the adournment of the court and in order to save the court from the painful details connected with the rest of the case, he was prepared to accept a verdict of the jury in regard to Wilde’s literature.
