OSCAR WILDE IS TOO HEALTHY TO GET OUT OF PRISON.
London, Nov. 28.- The movement among a certain group of Paris litterateurs to obtain the release of Oscar Wilde finds no sympathy here.
His recent appearance as a witness in a bankruptcy court made it clear that he had suffered far less severely from his detention than was expected. He was thinner, but quite as healthy looking as when he was at large, and he showed no evidence of nervous weakness. Nothing short of imminent danger to his life from further imprisonment would lead to his release, and it is stated by the official authority that his health is fair.
