Oscar Wilde has been arrested.
Oscar Wilde has been arrested.
April 6.—Oscar Wilde published a letter stating that he abandoned the case in order to avoid placing Lord Douglas in the witness box.
After the warrant was issued for Wilde's arrest, the police detained three essential witnesses. Lord Douglas and two men remained in conference with Wilde
at the Viaduct Hotel, Holborn, for several hours after the trial, and lunched together in a private room. Subsequently they drove to the Bank where Wilde
withdrew a large sum of money. He was then lost sight of until arrested in the evening at an hotel in Sloane street, Soho.
Lord Douglas was much distressed when he found he was unable to bail him out. After the trial the Marquis of Queensberry sent Wilde a
message stating he would shoot him if he took his son abroad.
Taylor has also been arrested and will be charged in conjunction with Wilde. The latter's name has been withdrawn from the play bill
of the London and American Theatre.
April 7.—Wilde has been remanded till Thursday, bail not being allowed.
Oscar Wilde has been remanded until Thursday. He has not yet been bailed out.
