==<center>MR. WILDE IN THE BOX</center>== Mr. Oscar Wilde was next sworn. In answer to Sir E. Clarke, he said he was 39 years old. He was formerly a student at Trinity College, Dublin, and at Oxford. He won several honours, including the Newdigate Prize for English verse. He took his degree in 1878. From that time he had devoted himself to art and literature. He had lectured in England and America, and written many essays. During the last few years he had paid speical attention to dramatic literature. Four of his plays were produced between February, 1892, and February, 1895. He had written articles on different subjects. In 1884 he married Miss Lloyd, and had lived with her ever since at Tite-street, Chelsea, Worthing, Torquay, and elsewhere. In 1891 he made the acquaintance of Lord Alfred Douglas. He had been Lady Queensberry's guest at Wokingham and Salisbury. He had been on friendly terms with Lord Douglas of Hawick. Lord Alfred Douglas had been with him to Tite-street and the Albemarle Club. They had also stayed together at Cromer, Worthing, and Torquay. In November, 1892, he was lunching with Lord Alfred Douglas at the Cafe Royal, and he effected what appeared to be a reconciliation between Lord Alfred and the Marquis of Queensberry. He did not see Lord Queensberry again until March, 1894.
