Shelley's cross-examination being resumed, he admitted he had a brother who was insane, and he also admitted having written a letter to Wilde, in which he said: "I am afraid that sometimes I am not very sane, but I am certain that I am sane now." He maintained, however, that the charges he had made against Wilde were true.
