New York, April 7.- The World's London correspondent says: If Oscar Wilde’s indifference during the revelations in court to-day were
assumed it was an excellent piece of acting. It seems certain that he will be convicted. The minimum penalty for the offense with which he is charged is
ten years’ imprisonment, the maximum punishment is penal servitude for life. There will be a demand for an exemplary sentence as public sentiment is
aroused against the group to which he belongs. Other prosecutions may follow. Much sympathy is felt for Mrs. Wilde, who is a very estimable woman, and for
his two beautiful children. A singular feature of English law is that even if her husband is convicted and sentenced to penal servitude Mrs. Wilde cannot
get a divorce on either ground.
