LONDON, May 8.––Mr. Vaughan accepted Oscar Wilde’s bail at Bow Street yesterday morning, and early in the afternoon he was released.
The bail was fixed at £2,500 in Wilde’s own recognizances, with two sureties of £1,250 each. The two sureties were Lord Douglas of Hawick and the Rev.
Stewart Headlam. The sureties afterwards proceeded to Holloway Jail and accompanied Wilde back to Bow Street to be formally set at liberty.
Wilde looked brighter and not much worse for his incarceration. The Rev. Stewart Headlam, in an interview as to his action, says: "I
have undertaken this responsibility on public grounds. I felt that the public mind has been prejudiced before the case began, and I anxious to give Mr.
Wilde any help I could to enable him to stand his trial in good health and spirits."
Mr Stewart Headlam, interviewed by a Press Association representative at the close of the proceedings, as to his reason for becoming
surety, said, "I have undertaken this responsibility on public grounds. I felt that the public mind had been prejudiced before the case began, and I was
anxious to give Mr Wilde any help I could, to enable him to stand his trial in good health and spirits."
