The relations existing between the Marquis of Queensberry and his son (Lord Alfred Douglas), arising out of the Oscar Wilde scandal,
continue strained. In Piccadilly yesterday Lord Douglas called the Marquis of Queensberry a liar and a slanderer. The latter eventually knocked his son
down. A furious struggle resulted, until the police interfered and separated the pair. Both were arrested and subsequently admitted to bail.
The relations existing between the Marquis of Queensberry and his son (Lord Alfred Douglas), arising out of the Oscar Wilde scandal,
continue strained, and in Piccadilly on Tuesday the Marquis severely chastised his son. Both were arrested, and subsequently admitted to bail. Sir Alfred
Douglas began the quarrel by calling the Marquis of Queensberry a liar and a slanderer. The latter eventually knocked his son down. A furious struggle
resulted, until the police interfered and separated the pair.
It was not Lord Alfred Douglas, but Lord Douglas, of Hawick, with whom the quarrel occurred. The latter accused his father of sending
insulting letters to Lady Douglas because he was one of Wilde's sureties. The Marquis of Queensberry cried out that he was anxious to renew the fight for
£10,000, and, addressing the crowd, said he disowned his son. Both defendants were bound over in sureties of £500 each to keep the peace.
Wilde's trial is now proceeding.
[Special to Press Association.]
Oscar Wilde is being retried to-day before a fresh jury.
