London, June 9.- The Rev. Steward Duckworth Headlam, one of the sureties for Oscar Wilde while he was awaiting his trial, has explained
why he went bail for him. He says in the statement that the press has prejudiced the case. He had only met Wilde twice, but his confidence in his honor
was fully justified by the fact that the accused remained in England and faced his trial. The clergy-man says he hopes that after Wilde has served his
sentence he will lead a new lie and do good work.
The Rev. S. Duckwood Headlam, one of the sureties for Oscar Wilde while he was awaiting trial, has explained why he went bail for him.
He says he felt that the press had prejudiced the case. He had only met Wilde twice, but his confidence in his honor was fully justified by the fact that
the accused remained in England and faced his trial. The clergyman says he hopes that after Wilde has served his sentence he will lead a new life and do
good work. As a result made into the enquiries of the secret life of the great public schools, brought about by the Wilde case, one school has expelled
sixteen boys whose conduct was not what it should have been.
