The Chicago Tribune - Thursday, June 6, 1895
London, June 5. - [Copyright, 1895, by the Press Publishing Company, New York World.] - Oscar Wilde is not insane, as has been reported. On the contrary, the weekly report of the Governor of Pentonville Prison to the Home Office today says he is doing well. The medical officer of Pentonville called at the prison department today to correct the sensational story. He said that after recovery the next morning after conviction from prostration Wilde, on entering the prison, was well enough to be put on prison fare, and Monday, May 27, he was placed on the treadmill. Every day since then Wilde has performed regular service there, and will not be relieved from that monotonous and terrible punishment until Monday, June 22. Unless Wilde’s health suffers he is certain to be put to the hard work of bag-making for the remaining portion of his sentence. It is probable Wilde will be eligible to release on license in twenty months.
San Francisco Chronicle - Thursday, June 6, 1895
LONDON, June 5. - Oscar Wilde is not insane, as has been reported. On the contrary the weekly report of the Governor of Pentonville prison to the Home Office to-day says he is doing well.
The medical officer of Pentonville called at the prison to-day to correct the sensational story. He said that after recovering the next morning after his conviction from prostration Wilde, on entering the prison, was well enough to be put on prison fare and Monday, May 27th, was placed on the treadmill.
Every day since then Wilde has performed the regular service there, and will not be relieved from that monotonous and terrible punishment until Monday, June 22d. At the end of this preliminary service, the lightest punishment for a prisoner in Wilde's class is the work of ruling forms for the prison department, but unless Wilde’s health suffers meanwhile he is certain to be put to the harder work of bag-making for the remaining portion of his sentence. By good conduct Wilde may reduce his sentence to twenty months.
