LONDON. Wednesday, 2.30 p.m.—The trial of the Marquis of Queensberry, charged with a criminal libel on Mr. Oscar Wilde, is proceeding to-day. The Marquis has pleaded justification for the public benefit.
(This message appeared in a second edition yesterday.)
LONDON, Wednesday Night.— During the trial of the Marquis of Queensberry to-day a number of letters written by Mr. Wilde to Lord Alfred Douglas, the eldest surviving son of the Marquis, were read. Some of these were of a most effusive character. In one of them Mr. Wilde said:— "You are the divine thing I want." On being asked what this meant, Mr. Wilde, when in the witness-box, said it was "the natural expression of an artist to a beautiful personality."
Evidence was also given that the Marquis visited the residence of Mr. Wilde, and threatened him. Mr. Wilde responded by calling him "the most infamous brute in London."
