London, June 17 — All manner of stories are circulated about the prison life of Oscar Wilde, including persistant reports that he is in
a state of mental and physical collapse. The fact is that he is perfectly sound in mind and body. At first he suffered acutely, while Taylor took his
sentence as cooly as an old hand. Wilde was terribly cast down and was in a state of semi-collapse in his cell at Newgate prior to his transfer to
Pentonville. There he rapidly recovered and something of the jaunty and rather defiant demeanor which he displayed at his first trial re-appeared. He to
all appearances is reconciled to his fate. His condition is, he gives little trouble and abides by the rules, which become less irksome in consequence.
