NEW YORK, May 20 - Mrs Frank Leslie is set to sail for England on Saturday to visit her mother-in-law, Lady Wilde, and do what she can
to comfort that lady in her trouble over the disgraceful scandal in which her eldest son has cut so prominent a figure.
New York, May 19. -- The Advertiser will to-morrow say: Mrs. Frank Leslie is to sail for England on Friday to visit her
ex-mother-in-law, Lady Wilde, and do what she can to comfort that lady in her trouble in the disgraceful scandal in which her eldest son, Oscar Wilde, has
cut so prominent a figure.
She said yesterday that she would spend most of her time with Lady Wilde, and characterized the accusations against Oscar as
falsehoods.
"She has the utmost confidence in him," said Mrs Leslie, "and that is shared by me and all the persons who know him well, and love him
for his intellectuality and charming personality.
"He has been [ ]ied about unmercifully, and the report was even set going that his wife was to seek a divorce. I know, in fact, that
they are living together now at a quiet resort in England.
I've yet to hear of one of the men or women who really know him believing the charges maliciously brought against him.
"O, yes, I suppose I shall see my former husband. Why not? Willie Wilde and I are the best of friends, even though we did find out that
our marriage was a mistake. He is a genius, but a wayward boy with it all.
"Our mistake does not interfere in the least with the friendship that will always exist between his mother and me."
