BULLETIN DU JOUR
PARIS, 2 MAI 1895
Un triste procès se plaidait en Angleterre. Le poète et écrivain Oscar Wilde avait poursuivi en diffamation le marquis de Quensbury et il fut, au cours du procès, mis en prison lui même, comme convaincu d'actes honteux, pendant que le marquis était acquitté. Oscar Wilde a comparu devant les assises. Sa culpabilité est évidente, mais le jury n'a pas pu se mettre d'accord sur la qualification à donner aux actes qui lui sont reprochés. Wilde, maintenu en prison, comparaîtra devant un autre jury.
NEWSLETTER OF THE DAY
PARIS, MAY 2, 1895
A sad trial was being pleaded in England. The poet and writer Oscar Wilde had sued the Marquess of Quensbury for libel and was, during the trial, imprisoned himself, as convicted of disgraceful acts, while the Marquess was acquitted. Oscar Wilde appeared before the assizes. His guilt is obvious, but the jury could not agree on the qualification to be given to the acts of which he is accused. Wilde, kept in prison, will appear before another jury.
