The New York Times - Tuesday, May 7, 1895
LONDON, May 6. -- Oscar Wilde, it is announced, will be released from custody to-morrow. His sureties have been approved. Their names have not been made public. Wilde will probably leave London at once for the seaside.
The statement of Mr. C. P. Gill, counsel for the prosecution, that Wilde would be retried at the next session, was made without the authority of the Public Prosecutor. It has not yet been decided whether the Government will take steps to have Wilde placed on trial.
They are willing that he should be arraigned again, but it is understood that the heads of the Church and many other eminent persons urge upon the Government the fact that much harm would be done to the public morals by the adoption of such a course, referring to the reprinting of details of the case.
In the meantime the police are ordered not to maintain too close a watch upon Wilde's movements and not to prevent him from going to the Continent if he wishes to go there.

LONDON, May 6. - Oscar Wilde has succeeded in finding the sureties required of him by Justice Pollock. The names of his bondsmen are not made known. Investigation having confirmed the responsibility of Wilde’s sureties, Justice Pollock has signed an order for his release. He will be released from custody to-morrow. He will probably leave London at once for the seaside.
The statement of Mr. C.F. Gill, counsel for the prosecution, that Wilde would undoubtedly be retried at the next session, was made without the authority of the Public Prosecutor. It has not yet been decided whether the Government will take steps to have Wilde again placed on trial. They were willing that he should be again arraigned, but it is understood that the heads of the church and many other eminent persons urge upon the Government the fact that much harm would be done to the public morals by the adoption of such a course, referring to the reprinting of all of the pernicious details of the case.
In the meantime the police are ordered not to maintain too close a watch upon Wilde’s movements, and not to prevent him from going to the Continent if he wishes to go there.
