Oscar Wilde’s Bondsmen.
London, May 7.—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, became sureties for Oscar Wilde. Mr. Headlam explains his becoming a bondsmen 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.
