Court and Jury Say the Marquis Did Right. LONDON, April 6—The suit of Ovcar Wilde against the Marquis of Queens- bury came to a sudden and unexpected termination this morning, shortly after the third day's proceedings were com- menced in the Old Bailey, before Jus- tice Collins. Sir Edward Clark, formerly Solicitor- General, leading counsel for Oscar Wilde asked permission on behalf of his client to withdraw the sult and sub- mit to @ verdict announcing the Marquis not guilty in regard to the words “pos- ing as a —," written by the Marquis of Queensberry on a card which was left for Wilde by the Marquis at the Albemarle Club on Feb. 18 and which ‘was handed to the latter by a porter, Sidney Wright, on Feb. 28, and which formed the outward basin of the sult. ‘The jury, under instructions from Jus- tice Collins, returned a verdict of not gullty, coupled with the statement that the justification set up as a defense by the Marauis of Queensberry was true In substance and in fact, and that the statement complained of was published for the public good. Later Ja the “ay application was made at the Bow Street Police Court, before Bir John Bridge, for a warrant for the arrest of Oscar Wilde, which was granted, Wilde spent several hours in company with Lord Alfred Douglas at a hotel in Holborn. Early in the afternoon Lord Alfred drove to a bank, cashed a check and returned. Soon afterwards, both Wilde and Lord Alfred drove away. He was followed by two detectives and arrested at the Cadogan Hotel, Sloan street, whence he was taken in a cab to Scotland Yard, Wilde wore an ulster and silk hat. He was very pale, but cool when he ar- rived at Scotland Yard. At 810 P. M he was arraigned at the Bow Street Police Court. Before 10 o'clock this morning every available foot of space in the court- was filled with spectators, who armed with newspapers aad pack- ages of sandwiches, and who were other- wise ready to spend the day in court in t comfortable manner possible. It was oticed, however, that Oscar Wilde was absent. In resuming his argument this morn- ing, Mr. Carson said that he hoped he had demonstrated that the Marquis was justified in bringing to a climax in the way he did the connection between his son, Lord Alfred Douglas, and Wilde. Continuing, counsel said that he now approached a more painful duty. It would be his task to call the several en who would tell their own whe would show that the man Taylor, frequently referred to during the proceedings, was Wilde's procurer, It was no wonder that the Marquis of Queensberry protested against the inti- mhacy between his son and Wilde. The wonder Is, counsel said, that this man has been so long tolerated in London society. Mr Curson was continuing his terrible denunciation of Oscar Wilde when Sir Edward Clarke and others of Wile's counsel left the court oom for consulta- tion. They soon returned, and Sir Ed- ward asked for permission to interrupt the procesdin ‘Then, amid a most impressive silence, the leading counsel for the plaintiff be- gan to announce the withdrawal of the case on behalf of his client. The chiet concern of Sir Edward Clarke, who is @ prominent Conservative, and who was Solicitor-General under Lord Salisbury's last administration, from 1886, when he was knighted, to August, 1s#2, seemed t be his desire to justly himself in un- dertaking the case for Wilde. He eaid that after consulting with his client, who, by the way, was in the room to which his counsel adjourned, and who left the building hurriedly when Sir Edward Clarke began his state ment, he asked to withdraw the sult and on Wilde's behalf to submit a ver- dict of not guilty in regard to the words “Posing as @ —,"" Which the Marquis of Queensberry had written on the ca which formed the basis of the sult, Mr. Carson here interposed, saying that if there wa» to be a verd. guilty, {t also involve @ verdict of justi- cation, as the case of his client must succeed upon that plea Justice Collins said, as to the jury putting any mit on heir verdict, that ihe charge, “Posing as a —,"" was either justified or not justified, and that if the jury consented to the course suggested they were to return @ verdict of not guilty, and were also to find that the justification set up by the de- fense was true in substance and in rd, were published for the public benefit, came known that |! was momentarily of Oscar Wilde wou.d be issued.
