The Oscar Wilde Scandal.
London, May 22. Oscar Wilde is being re-tried today before a new jury. Wilde is being tried on a charge of indecency with Taylor, Parker, Woods and Shelly. The Marquis of Queensberry is attending the trial. It was not Lord Alfred Douglas, but Lord Douglas of Hawich, who quarrelled with his father, the Marquis of Queensbury, in Piccadilly. Lord Douglas accused his father of sending insulting letters to Lady Douglas because he was one of Wilde’s sureties. Lord Queensberry shouted out that he was anxious to renew the fight for £10,000; and addressing the crowd he said he disowned his son. Both the disputants were bound over, in sureties of £SOO each, to keep the peace.
