London, May 7.- Oscar Wilde was released on bail to-day after furnishing a personal bond for $12,500 and two sureties in $6,250 each. His
sureties were Lord Douglas of Hawick, eldest surviving son of the Marquis of Queensberry, and Rev. Stewart Headlam. The latter is a graduate of Cambridge
University and resides at Hyde Park Gate.
"I became 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 in order to enable him to stand trial in good health and spirits."
Wilde was driven in a cab from Holloway Jail to Bow-street Police Court, where his bail was formally accepted. Then in company with
Lord Douglas, Wilde left the court. Lord Douglas is a brother of Lord Alfred Douglas, Wilde’s intimate friend. The fact that he has come to Wilde’s
support in the face of his father's charges has done much to convince the public mind that while Wilde has been romantically foolish in his expressions of
admiration for Lord Alfred, he is guiltless of the shocking offences laid to his door. Lord Douglas of Hawick is a sensible and manly fellow, free from
the eccentricity that characterizes other members of the Queensbery family.
Wilde is staying in London to-night. He has had a long consultation with his bondsmen, with Sir Richard Clarke, his leading counsel,
and with his solicitors. The latter have promised to keep the authorities posted in regard to the movements of their client. Wilde is suffering from
nervous prostration and has declined to be interviewed.
