Mr Wilde admitted close intimacy with a number of young men, but denied anything improper in it. He paid no regard to social
inferiority if his friends were amusing. Lord Douglas' letters showed that he threatened to shoo this father if he attempted to thrash him. The Marquis'
letter referred to an eminent statesman, but the reference was political. Mr Carson, in opening the defence, declared the plaintiff's proteges were among
the most immoral persons in London. Wilde's intimacies were absolutely irreconcilable with his claims as an exponent of culture. His literature alone
justified the charges against him. IN that conclusion he claimed that the defendant's witnesses, amongst whom was Wood, the chief blackmailer, would prove
the case to the hilt.
