| WILDE -- A GOOD THING. So His Testimony To-day Would Seem to Indicate. GAVE AWAY LOTS OF MONEY
JUST BECAUSE THE RECIPIENTS HAPPENED TO BE POOR. Much of the Testimony Adduced in Cross- examination is Unfit for Publication -
Some Remarkable Letters From the Marquis of Queensberry - The Develop- ment of a Vile Scandal - Wilde Loses His Temper. |

| OSCAR WILDE BRANDED The Marquis of Queensberry's Terrible Accusations Justified. SCATHING VERDICT
RENDERED. THE JURY FLATLY SAYS THE EX- POSURE IS FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD. His Own Lawyer Abandoned the Case to Prevent Queensberry
from Making Fur- ther Disclosures and Admitted that All The Charges were True - Wilde Runs Away From the Court and May be Ar-
rested and Prosecuted. |
