(This message appeared in a second edition yesterday.)
LONDON, Wednesday Night.— During the trial of the Marquis of Queensberry to-day a number of letters written by Mr. Wilde to Lord Alfred
Douglas, the eldest surviving son of the Marquis, were read. Some of these were of a most effusive character. In one of them Mr. Wilde said:— "You are the
divine thing I want." On being asked what this meant, Mr. Wilde, when in the witness-box, said it was "the natural expression of an artist to a beautiful
personality."
Evidence was also given that the Marquis visited the residence of Mr. Wilde, and threatened him. Mr. Wilde responded by calling him "the
most infamous brute in London."
