Much speculation is rife over the probable course of events at the trial now set for Friday next. The prosecution is confident of
conviction. Its witnesses are being 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 misanthropic. In one quarter
it is given out that he will plead guilty to one indictment without standing trial. On the other hand, his solicitors deny that he will plead guilty,
declaring that they will fight the case from start to finish, and the seeking for an adjournment and the release of their client on bail, just refused, is
the first step.
