THE QUEENSBERRY-WILDE CASE.
(Per Press Association.)
London, April 4.
Oscar Wilde admitted close intimacy with a number of young men, but denied anything improper in it. He paid no regard to social inferiority if friends were amusing. Lord Douglas' letter showed he threatened to shoot his father if he attempted to thrash him. The Marquis' letter referred to eminent statesmen, but the reference was political. Wilde's case is closed. Mr Carson, in opening for the defence, declared the plaintiff's protegees were among the most immoral persons in London. Wilde's intimacies were absolutely irreconcilable with his claims as an exponent of culture. His literature alone justified the charges against him. In conclusion he claimed that the defendant's witnesses, amongst whom was Wood, the chief blackmailer, would prove the case.
