LONDON, APRIL 5.
Oscar Wilde hurriedly left the court while counsel for the Marquis of Queensberry was explaining that the prosecutor's literature and
letters justified the plea that Wilde posed as an immoral person. Wilde withdrew in order to avoid the appalling evidence that he feared would be brought
against him by the witnesses for the defence.
The verdict of not guilty was received in court with loud cheers.
No warrant against Oscar Wilde was applied for, but Mr. Russell, solicitor for the Marquis of Queensberry, sent to the Public Prosecutor
a statement of the notes of the evidence given by witnesses during the case, with the object of preventing a miscarriage of justice.
