London, April 4.
In the course of his evidence, Mr Wilde explained the effusive language of the letters addressed to Lord Alfred Douglas as the natural
expression of an artist attracted by a beautiful personality. The Marquis of Queensberry visited his residence, and threatened Wilde, to which the latter
responded with—"You are the most infamous brute in London!"
Wilde admitted a close intimacy with a number of young men, but denied anything improper in it. He paid no regard to social inferiority
if friends were amusing. Lord Douglas' letters showed that he threatened to shoot his father if he attempted to thrash him. The Marquis' letter referred
to eminent statesmen, but the reference as political.

Wilde's case is closed.
Mr Carsons, in opening the defence, declared that the plaintiff's proteges were among the most immoral persons in London. Wilde's
intimacies were absolutely irreconcileable with his claims to be an exponent of culture. His literature alone justified the charges against him. In
conclusion, he claimed that defendant's witnesses, amongst whom was Wood, the chief blackmailer, would prove the case to the hilt.
