LONDON, May 7. - Oscar Wilde was released on bail today after furnishing a personal bond in $12,500 and two sureties of $6250 each. The
sureties were Lord Douglas of Hawick, the eldest surviving son of the Marquis of Queensberry, and the Rev. Stewart Headlam, a graduate of Cambridge
University.
The latter said: "I became a surety for Oscar Wilde on public grounds. I felt that the public mind was prejudiced before the case
began, and I am anxious to give him any help possible to enable him to stand trial in good health and spirits."
