LONDON, May 2. - The counsel for Oscar Wilde will to-morrow make application before Baron Pollock, in the Queen’s Bench Division of the High Court of Justice, for the admission of Wilde to bail, pending the retrial of his case. Hitherto it has been the practice to grant applications for bail in all cases of misdemeanor, but the matter rests solely upon the discretion of the court. The next session of the Old Bailey Court will begin on May 20.
Although Oscar Wilde's fine collection of prints, Morrish poetry, bric-à-brac, &., has been sold at auction, no receiving order in bankruptcy against him has yet been applied for.
The Evening Journal - Thursday, May 2, 1895
London. May 2.- The jury acquitted Oscar Wilde of the charges against him in connection with Atkins and reported to the court that it was impossible for them to agree in regard to the other charges. They, however, acquitted him of the charges of conspiracy.
Mr. Gill, for the prosecution, said the case would undoubtedly be tried again at the next session.
The disagreement of the jury caused much surprise in London. Several newspapers incline to the opinion that Wilde's speech, which elicited applause in the court room may have saved him from a verdict of guilty.
