The Cincinnati Enquirer - Wednesday, May 8, 1895
LONDON, May 7. — Oscar Wilde was released on bail to-day, after furnishing a personal bond for $12,500 and two sureties in $6,250 each. His sureties were Lord Douglass, 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."
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 Douglass of Hawick, Wilde left the Court.
Wilde is stopping in London to-night. He had a lengthy consultation with his bondsmen, with Sir Robert Clarke, his leading counsel, and with his solicitors. The latter have promised to keep the authorities posted in regard to the movements of their client. Wilde is suffering from nervous prostration, and has declined to be interviewed.
The San Francisco Examiner - Wednesday, May 8, 1895
LONDON, May 7. - Oscar Wilde was released on bail to-day after furnishing a personal bond for $12,500 and two sureties in $6,250 each. His sureties were Lord Douglas of Hiwick, eldest surviving son of the Marquis of Queensbury, and the Rev. Stewart Headlam. The latter is a graduate of Cambridge University and resides at Hyde Park Gate. He said by way of explanation:
"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."
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, Wilde left the court. Lord Douglas is a brother of Lord Alfred Douglas, Wilde’s intimate friend. The fact that he has come to Wilde’s support in the face of his father's charges has done much to convince the public mind that while Wilde has been romantically foolish in his expressions of admiration for Lord Alfred, he is guiltless of the shocking offences laid to his door. Lord Douglas of Hawick is a sensible and manly fellow, free from the eccentricity that characterizes other members of the Queensbery family.
