London, May 7– Oscar Wilde was released on bail to-day, after furnishing personal bond for $12,500 and two sureties in $6,250 each. His sureties were Lord Douglas of Hawick, eldest surviving son of the Marquis of Queensberry, and the 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 was 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 to enable him to stand trial in good health and spirits."
At 2:30 P. M. Wilde was driven in a cab from Holloway jail to Bow street police court, where his bail was formally accepted. Then, in company with Lord Douglas of Hawick Wilde left the court.
