London, April 5. - Oscar Wilde, who for twenty years has, after one fashion or another, attracted to himself the attention of the
cultivated world of both England and America, and who posed by turns as a langorous aesthete, a caustic cynic and a producer of brilliant epigrams and
witty paradoxes, is tonight the occupant of a Bow Street Police Court cell, on a charge which, in the eyes of most honest men, is more odious than even
that of murder.
London, April 6.--Mr. Oscar Wilde, who for twenty years has, after one fashion or another, attracted to himself the attention of the
cultivated world both of England and America; who has posed by turns as a languorous aesthete, as a caustic cynic and as a producer of brilliant epigrams
and witty paradox is, as I write, the occupant of a Bow Street Police Court cell on a charge which in the eyes of most honest men is even more odious than
that of murder.

carefully prepared in advance by master hands, was in its essence intensely dramatic.

late on Thursday night. Mr Carson, however, insisted he should be allowed to continue his address to the jury long enough to bring out such essential
facts as he deemed necessary.

moment had arrived.
