London, April 5.- The jury in the Oscar Wilde case found the Marquis of Queensberry not guilty and further declared Queensberry's changes true, and made for the public good. When the trial of Wilde was resumed to-day the court room was crowded. Counsel for defendant resumed his speech. He said he would put upon the stand servants, valets, etc., who would speak freely of their own connections with Wilde. Overwhelming evidence of the abominable immorality of Wilde would be produced. Counsel for Wilde interrupted at this point and said he had consulted with Wilde, and in order to save the court painful details connected with the rest of the case he had prepared to accept a verdict of the jury with regard to Wilde literature. The judge said the jury must return a verdict of guilty or not guilty as regards the entire case. The jury then rendered the verdict state-ed. When it was rendered Queensberry left the dock amid cheers. The court granted an order requiring Wilde to pay the costs of the defence. Wilde was not in count.

The Westminster Gazette says: A warrant for Wilde’s arrest has not yet been applied for.

After the verdict was delivered, Lord Douglas and two others lunched privately at the Holborn hotel. In a letter to an afternoon paper Wilde states that he is determined to withdraw from the case and shoulder any ignominy attached in order to prevent Douglas going into the witness box against his father, the Marquis of Queensberry. It is rumored that a warrant has been applied for Wilde’s arrest.

LATER- Wilde has been arrested.
