Mr.. Catchings is in favor of the res

weeks ago at his request. Wilde, it APP
pears, was in constant communication
with Lord Alfred. When Wilde was
asked about the famous letters he had
written Lord Alfred Douglas, which
were read at the first trial, the defend
ant said 1t was a beautiful way in which
an artist would write to a cultured
young man.
Taking up letter Wilde had written
Lord Alfred praising his red rose-leaf
lips, and slim gilt soul that walked be-
tween poetry and passion" Sir Frank
asked the defendant whether he con-
sidered this letter decent"
Wilde replied: "Decency does not
come into question"
do you understand the meaning of
the word" asked the counsel sternly.
Yes" replied Wilde.
Wilde admitted that he made repeated
visits to the room of Alfred Taylor
where he met number of young men,
Wilde also admitted his intimacy with
)ther young men whose names We're
previously.

lueensberry is quoted as saying: 81
