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.
