LONDON, May 21. - The Marquis of Queensberry met his son, Lord Alfred Douglas, in Piccadilly, shortly after the conclusion of the
Taylor trial, this afternoon, when he stopped him and abused him roundly for continuing to uphold Wilde. A vehement exchange of violent language ensued,
and the quarrel was rapidly reaching the point of blows when the police broke through the large crowd which had collected and stopped the row. Both Lord
Queensberry and his son were arrested and taken to the Vine street police station, followed by a mob. After a short detention in the station, the father
and son were released.
