LONDON, May 7.—Oscar Wilde was released on bail to-day, after furnishing a personal bond for $12,500 and two sureties in $6250 each. His sureties were Lord Douglas, of Hawick, eldest surviving son of the Marquis of Queensberry, and Rev. Stewart Headlam. The latter is a graduate of Cambridge University and resides at Hyde Park Gate.

He was interviewed shortly after it became known that he had become one of Wilde's bondsmen, and said: "I became surety for Oscar Wilde on public grounds. I felt that the public mind was prejudiced before the case began and I am anxious to give him any help possible in order to enable him to stand trial in good health and spirits."
