London, May 25. -- Oscar Wilde was today found guilty.
The judge sentenced Wilde and Taylor, the latter's sentence having been suspended pending the result of the trial of Wilde, to two
years at hard labor each.
The judge finished his charge at 3 o'clock and the jury retired.
Before the jury retired the foreman asked the court if a warrant had been issued for the arrest of Lord Alfred Douglas.
At the end of the trial the foreman of the jury asked whether a warrant had been issued for the arrest of Lord Alfred Douglas.
The judge said that no warrant had been issued, whereupon the foreman said: "But if we must consider these letters as evidence of
guilt they surely show that Lord Douglas's guilt is equal to that of Wilde."
