A BLACK EYE IN HIGH LIFE.
ADMINISTERED BY QUEENSBERRY

It Wasn't Lord Alfred Who Was
Whipped

Hawick - Father and Son in a Police
Court To-day - The Washing of Dirty
Linen.
LONDON, May 22. - Yesterday's report that the Marquis of Queensberry and his son, Lord Alfred Douglas, engaged in a fight in Piccadilly was erroneous in respect of the younger participant in the affray. It was the marquis’ elder son, Lord Douglas of Hawick, who was his antagonist. Both were arraigned in the Marlborough street police court this morning and placed in the dock together to answer a charge of disorderly conduct and fighting on the street. The marquis said that his son was the aggressor having first assaulted him and that he only struck back in self-defense. Lord Douglas, of Hawick, said he merely desired his father's assurance that he would cease writing disgraceful letters to his (Hawick’s) wife reviling her husband. His aim in meeting his father was to stop these foul communications. Lord Queensberry objected to the letters in question being called obscene. Hearing that Oscar Wilde was residing with Lord Douglas of Hawick, he went to the latter's house and obtained the assurance of his daughter-in-law that his younger son, Lord Alfred Douglas, was not there also. He thereupon ceased writing letters to Lord Douglas’ wife.
Lord Douglas’ lawyer wished to read the letters in question, but the magistrate would not allow it. The lawyer said that at the conclusion of Taylor's trial the marquis of Queensberry had sent a telegram to Lord Douglas and his wife. Both the marquis and his son were bound in sureties of £500 each to keep the peace for six months.

LONDON, May 22. - The marquis, who wore a fresh boutonniere and presented a very jaunty appearance, admitted that he had offered to fight his son, Lord Douglas of Hawick, anywhere or at anytime for £10,000. Lord Douglas showed a very black eye as the result of his encounter with his father, but the latter did not show a mark. The crowd cheered the marquis as he drove away in a cab and as earnestly hissed and hooted Lord Douglas as he took his departure.
