Much speculation is made over the probable course of events at the trial of Oscar Wilde for serious misdemeanors, which is set down for
Friday next. The prosecution is confident of conviction. Its witness are lodged in a private house in Croydon street and guarded by a special police
detail to prevent them from suffering mob violence. Special watch also is being kept over Wilde himself to see that he does not attempt suicide. He acts
moody and misanthropie. In one quarter it is given out that he will plead guilty to one indictment without a standing trial.
