The Chicago Tribune - Tuesday, April 30, 1895

London, April 29. - It has been learned that immediately after her husband was arrested Mrs. Wilde took her children and her belongings from the Wilde residence on Tite street and instructed her lawyer to institute proceedings for a divorce. The proceedings will hinge somewhat on the decision given in the present criminal proceedings against Wilde.

Willie Wilde, Oscar's brother, formerly the husband of Mrs. Frank Leslie, who divorced him, had to raise the money last week to pay Oscar’s lawyers for their services. Willie and Oscar have not been on friendly terms for a long time. When the former visited the Old Bailey Friday to inform his brother the money had been paid to Sir Edward Clarke, Oscar’s counsel, Oscar said: "Don't come to see me. I don’t wish to see my people."
