Much speculation is made over the probable course of events at the trial of Oscar Wilde for serious misdemeanors, which is set down for Friday next. The prosecution is confident of conviction. Its witness are lodged in a private house in Croydon street and guarded by a special police detail to prevent them from suffering mob violence. Special watch also is being kept over Wilde himself to see that he does not attempt suicide. He acts moody and misanthropie. In one quarter it is given out that he will plead guilty to one indictment without a standing trial.

On the other hand, his solicitors deny that he will plead guilty, declaring that they will fight the case from start to finish, and the seeking for an adjournment and the release of their client on bail, just refused, is the first step.
