LONDON, May 24.—There was the usual crowd of people in the Old Bailey Courtroom when Sir Edward Clarke addressed the jury in behalf of his client, Oscar Wilde, who is charged with serious misdemeanors. Among those present was Lord Douglass of Hawick, the eldest son of the Marquis of Queensberry.
Wilde was called to the witness box and was provided with a chair, as he seemed to be utterly broken down. In answer to the questions put to him he related how he had been on terms of intimacy with the Marquis of Queensberry's family for years, and entirely denied the charges made against him. When he was asked about the famous letter which he had written to Lord Alfred Douglas, and which was read at the first trial, the defendant said that it was a beautiful way in which an artist would write to a cultured young man.
Sir Edward Clarke briefly re-examined Wilde and then made his final address to the jury, asking them to save the defendant from the ruin of his reputation, which, he added, had been nearly quenched by the torrent of prejudice in the press. (Applause.)

The Marquis of Queensberry, in an interview, is quoted as saying: "I do not wish to see Wilde further punished. He has suffered enough. One of his companions has been found guilty and every one in London knows that Wilde is no better than Alfred Taylor."
The Marquis of Queensberry is reported as saying: "I do not wish to see Oscar Wilde further punished. He has suffered enough. I only want to keep the beast from my son. Everyone knows Wilde is no better than Alfred Taylor."
When the Marquis of Queensberry was asked what he thought would be the verdict, he said: "I am willing to bet 1,000 to 1 that Wilde is acquitted. There are many names back of this thing that say so. I have as much chance of dropping dead in the street today as Oscar Wide has of being found guilty."
