DROPPED A DIRTY BUSINESS.—The counsel for Oscar Wilde, in announcing his withdrawal from the case, explained that the literary works
and letters of his client justified the Marquis of Queensberry's plea, and expressed an opinion that Wilde posed as an immoral person. He stated that he
therefor withdrew from the case, in order to avoid the production of the appalling evidence against his client that he saw would be forthcoming if the
case were continued. This announcement was greeted with loud cheers from those present in the court, and while his counsel was making the statement Wilde
hurriedly left the court.
