LONDON,May 21.
The relations existing between the Marquis of Queensberry and his son (Lord Alfred Douglas) arising out of the Oscar Wilde scandal, continue strained, and in Piccadilly today the Marquis severely chastised his son. Both were arrested and subsequently admitted to bail.
Taylor was convicted on two counts, and sentence has been postponed.
MAY 22.
Lord Alfred Douglas began the quarrel by calling the marquis of Queensberry a liar and slanderer. The latter eventually knocked his son down. A furious struggle resulted, until the police interfered and separated the pair.
Oscar Wilde is being re-tried today before a fresh jury.
It was not Lord Douglas of Hawick with whom the quarrel occurred. The latter accused his father of sending insulting letters to Lady Douglas, because he was one of Wilde's sureties. The Marquis of Queensberry shouted out that he was anxious to renew the fight for £10,000, and addressing the crowd, said that he disowned his son. Both were bound over in sureties of £500 each to keep the peace.
Wilde's trial is now proceeding.
Wilde is being tried on a charge of indecency, in connection with Taylor, Parker, Woods and Shelly. The Marquis of Queensberry is attending the trial.
