OSCAR WILDE RELEASED
His Sentence to Jail Expired
This Morning.
HE WILL NOW WRITE A PLAY
His Wife Reported as Intending to
Apply for Divorce, to Which No
Defense VIII Be Made Prison Life
Improved Him Mentally and Physi
calIy-WilI Not Seek Notoriety.

London, May 19.-Oscar Wilde, who was
removed from Reading jail to Holloway
prison last night, was released from the
latter institution this morning, bis SEN
tence having eXpird.
He was not greeted by any friends at
the prison gates. He declined to make
any statement beyond saying that he was
mentally tired though his condition both
physically and mentally, had greatly i'm
proved within the last year
The prison ph ySician stated to some Tnefn-
bers of the press that Wilde's confinement
had been of great benefit, and he is now
normally sound. Mr.. Wilde, he said, would
go to the suburbs Of LoIdon for a few days
rest, and then go to Paris and perhaps to
Italy. II is Wilde's intention to write d
play under rscudOnym, Though the au-
thorship of the work will not be concealed.
To friend Wilde said day or two ago
that he would not seek noturiety, but, on
the other hand, he would not perSistently
seek solitude. 1t is reported that Wilde's
wife will now apply for divorce, TO which
he will make nosdefense.
Upon leaving the prison Wilde spurned
an offer of 81 900 to write his experiences
while in confinement for New York paper.
