OSCAR WILDE IN PRISON.
HIS YEARNING AFTER BAIL.
(BY OUR PRIVATE WIRE.)
"B24, Wilde, O. 40." This brief entry, says a London evening paper, on the slate of a prison warder represents Oscar Wilde's present status in prison life. He has become a capital letter with a number after it. Wilde has been seen by his friends and solicitor. The effect of his incarceration has not tended towards an improvement of an at no time attractive appearance. His hitherto elaborately-curled locks are dank and straight, and he has dropped all "pose" whatever, his sole-anxiety being at the present moment with regard to bail, for which a most urgent and pressing demand is about to be made. The intense anxiety for bail has aroused much comment.
