Grey River Argus - Monday, April 8, 1895
Oscar Wilde publishes a letter stating that he abandoned the case in order to avoid placing Lord Douglass in the witness box. After a warrant had been issued for Wilde's arrest the police detained three essential witnesses. Lord Douglass and two men remained in conference at the Viadact Hotel, Holborn, for several hours after the trial and lunched together in a private room. Subsequently they drove to a bank, where Wilde withdrew a large sum of money. He was then lost sight of until arrested in the evening in an hotel at Sloane street. Lord Douglass was much distressed when he found that he was unable to bail him out. After the trial the Marquis of Queensbery sent Wilde a message stating that he would shoot him if he took his son abroad. Taylor has also been arrested and will be charged in conjunction with Wilde. The latter's name has been withdrawn from the playbills of London and American theatres.
