LONDON, May 24. — The Marquis of Queensberry, in an interview, is quoted as saying: "I do not wish to see Wilde further punished. He
has suffered enough. I only want to keep the beast from my son. You know I have carried my point, and that I have been praised by the best selected jury
which ever sat in God or man's jury box. Consequently I do not care what else is now done to Wilde. One of his companions has been found guilty, and every
one in London knows that Wilde is no better than Alfred Taylor."
When the Marquis of Queensberry was asked what he thought wouold be the verdict in Oscar Wilde's case he said:
"I am willing to forfeit 1,000 to 1 that Wilde is acquitted. There are many names back of this thing that say so. I have as much chance
of dropping dead in the street to-day as Oscar Wilde has of being found guilt."
