the charge Of having committed se-
rious misdemcanors. The court opened

the dock. Wilde looked haggard and
worn. and 1t was noticed that he was
greatly changed since he appeared OH

to prosecute his suit for libel against
the Marquis Of Queensbury, the COL
lapse Of which action in such nm un-
expected and sensational manner led
to his arrest and the subsequent ter
rlble disclosures. Wilde to-day was
much more subdued, although he
smiled once or twice at certain ques-
tions which were put to him. But he
seemed to realize the gravity of the
situation in which he found himself.
He was as faultlessly dressed MS
ever, carrying shining silk hat in
his hand and displaying on his un-
Eloved fingers many sparkling gems.
