The San Francisco Call - Thursday, June 6, 1895
LONDON, ENG., June 5. — The report that Oscar Wilde had become insane is denied and also that he has been confined in a padded room. It is stated that Wilde was started to work in the treadmill according to the usual prison discipline.
After a few days he was sent to the infirmary, where it was found he was suffering from melancholia and trouble of the stomach. The disorder of the stomach ceased after two days' confinement in the hospital, and Wilde returned to the prison feeling greatly improved. His melancholia continues.

The disorder of the stomach ceased after two days in the hospital, and Wilde returned to prison feeling greatly relieved. He is now at work picking oakum. His melancholia continues, but otherwise his health is fair.
