London, Monday. The Press Association has authority for stating with reference to Mr Oscar Wilde's defence that Sir Edward Clarke wrote
early on Saturday to Mr Humphreys saying that having regard to the events of Friday he thought it right to say that if Mr Oscar Wilde desired that he
should defend him on his trial he would do so, and that for services so offered he, of course, would not accept any fee. Mr Humphreys has replied stating
that Mr Oscar Wilde gratefully accepts the offer.
DISSATISFIED WITH HIS TREATMENT
The Evening News states that the prisoner was seen yesterday by his friends and his solicitor. The effect of his incarceration has
not tended towards any improvement in his appearance. His hitherto curled locks are dank and straight, and he has dropped all pose whatever, his sole
anxiety being at the present moment with regard to bail, for which a most urgent and pressing demand is about to be made. According to the prison
authorities, he neither eats, drinks or sleeps. He is extremely talkative and gives vent to loud denunciations of the manner in which he is treated.
