which Clarance Darrow, attorney for
the MeNamuras and a dote friend
of Wilde, took fiart. Darro'w, in the
pivcnior's office, at Johnson's invi
tation expressed his views of the
case.
Darrow declared he did not consid
er that Wilde hud been guilty of em-
hoxxlcmcut.
"A year ago I was in your office,"
ho said, turning to Cameron, "ami
you told me then that you did not
think you had enough evidence to in
dict. You may. of course, had oilier
evidence since, but from what I have
seen hero,! do not think it has been
shown that Wilde was guilty."
Darrow said he had practiced lnw
in many stales and that the, law of
eiuho.xlcincut was not only definite
but that in most states it was parol!
cully the same and thnt from all his
experience he could find no prece
