Oscar Wilde was subjected to a stringent cross-examination, with a view of showing "Dorian Grey" and some articles in the magazine
'Chameleon,' with which he is connected, are of an immoral tendency. Wilde insisted that they are merely an expression of artistic faculty. His letters to
Lord Alfred Douglas were prose poems, extraordinary perhaps, but not justifying an immoral interpretation. He admitted that he gave one of his alleged
blackmailers £21 and lunched with him in a private room afterwards. The case was adjourned, the defendant being admitted to bail.
