London, April 3 - The Central court was densely packed today to hear proceedings in the action of Wilde against the Marquis of
Queensbury for libel. Wilde was present and maintained the greatest unconcern. Queensbury pleaded not guilty adding that the so-called libel was true and
made known in the interest of public morality. Sir Edward Clark for the prosecution reviewed the evidence dwelling upon the writing on the card which
constituted the libel. When the counsel said certain witnesses would deny the Marquis' testimony, the Marquis made an attempt to attack Wilde but could
not get at him. He also openly libelled Wilde in the latter's own house and was put out. Counsel admitted Wilde had written an extravagant letter to Lord
Douglas. The letter was read and it contained such expressions a "Your roseleaf lips," "Your slim gilt soul was between poetry and passion," "I know that
hyacinthe as who was loved by Apollo was yon in Greek days" Wilde then took the stand and detailed his relations with the family of Marquis.
