THE trial of the Marquis of Queensberry on a charge of having criminally libelled Mr. Oscar Wilde, the dramatist and poet, was begun in London on Wednesday.
EVIDENCE was given to show that Mr. Oscar Wilde paid heavy blackmail for his gushing letters to Lord Alfred Douglas, son of the Marquis of Queensberry, and that these letters were found in some old clothes that had been given away. On revelations contained in these letters the defence - that of justification - is based.
