Oscar Wilde left Holloway Jail this afternoon. He drove from the jail in a four-wheeler to Bow street, where he went into the clerk's room and signed what is known as the bail book, after which, accompanied by Lord Douglas of Hawick, he re-entered the cab and drove off. He immediately went to the Midland Hotel, St Pancras, accompanied by his sureties, and it was subsequently stated he was suffering from extreme prostration and quite unable to undergo the fatigue of an interview. It is expected he will leave London to-morrow, and his solicitors at his own request have offered to keep the authorities fully informed of his movements and precise whereabouts between now and the twentieth instant, when he will in due course give himself up to the police. In the course of the afternoon it was stated Wilde had an interview at the law courts with Sir Edward Clarke.
