Wilde admitted 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 A. Douglas' letters showed that he threatened to shoot his father if he attempted to thrash him. The Marquis' letter
referred to an eminent stateman, but the reference was political. Wilde's case is closed. Mr Carson, in opening the defence, declared that the plaintiff's
proteges were amongst 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 conclusion he claimed that defendant's witnesses, among whom was Wood, the chief blackmailer, would
prove his case to the hilt.
