LONDON, May 6.— Oscar Wilde succeeded in finding the sureties demanded by Justice Pollock, and was released to-day. The names of his
bondsmen are not made known. Wilde, it is announced, will be released from custody to-morrow. He will probably leave London at once for foreign parts.
The statement of Mr. C. F. Gill, counsel for the prosecution, that Wilde would undoubtedly be retried at the next session, was made
without the authority of the Public Prosecutor. It has not yet been decided whether the government will take steps to have Wilde again placed on
trial-they are willing that he should be again arraigned-but it is understood that the heads of the Church and many other eminent persons urge upon the
government the fact that much harm would be done to the public morals by the adoption of such a course, referring to the reprinting of all of the
pernicious details of the case.

to go there.
