LONDON ECHOES
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
LONDON, May 1.
It is said that Sir Edward Clarke's action in defending Oscar Wilde without fees is due to his belief that in the libel case against Lord Queensberry he made an error in withdrawing from the prosecution. The belief that he failed in his duty to his client on that occasion determined him to defend Mr. Wilde at the Old Bailey for nothing. I don't think this is an accurate representation of Sir Edward Clarke's motives, but there is no question that his conduct of the case is fully worthy of his high reputation.
