LONDON, May 7. - Lord Douglass of Hawick eldest surviving son of the marquis of Queensberry, and the Rev. Stewart D. Headlam, well known as a stanch supporter of stage dancing, appeared in the Bow street police court this morning and became sureties for Oscar Wilde.
The Rev. Mr. Headlam explains his becoming one of the bondsmen of Wilde by saying that he did so because the public mind was prejudiced against him before the trial of his case began and he wished to enable Wilde to stand his second trial in good health and spirits.
