DROPPED A DIRTY BUSINESS.—The counsel for Oscar Wilde, in announcing his withdrawal from the case, explained that the literary works and letters of his client justified the Marquis of Queensberry's plea, and expressed an opinion that Wilde posed as an immoral person. He stated that he therefor withdrew from the case, in order to avoid the production of the appalling evidence against his client that he saw would be forthcoming if the case were continued. This announcement was greeted with loud cheers from those present in the court, and while his counsel was making the statement Wilde hurriedly left the court.
