Lord Douglas of Hawick, eldest surviving son of the Marquis of Queensberry, and Rev. Stewart D. Headlam, well-known as a staunch supporter of stage dancing, appeared in Bow Street Police Court this morning and became sureties for Oscar Wilde. Rev. Mr. Headlam explains his becoming one of the bondsmen of Wilde, by saying that he did so because the public mind was prejudiced against him before the trial of his case began and he wished to enable Wilde to stand his second trial in good health and spirits. Oscar Wilde was brought from Holloway Jail to the Bow Street Police Court at 2.30 o’clock this afternoon, when he was formally set at liberty upon the bail furnished. He entered a carriage and was driven away.
