The Marquis of Queensberry is quoted as saying: "I do not wish to see Wilde further punished. He has suffered enough. I only want to keep the beast from my son. Every one knows Wilde is no better than Alfred Taylor." Asked as to what he thought would be the verdict, he said: ''I am willing to forfeit 1000 to 1 that Wilde is acquitted. There are many names back of this thing."
