The Argus - Thursday, May 2, 1895
The trial of Oscar Wilde, the well-known author and dramatist, was continued to-day at the Old Bailey.
Taylor went into the witness-box and swore that he was absolutely innocent of the charges brought against him.
Evidence having been given by the accused, Sir Edward Clarke, Q.C., addressed the Court on their behalf. He made an eloquent speech, claiming the acquittal of his clients on the ground that the chief witnesses for the Crown were of bad character and altogether untrustworthy.
The judge will sum up to the jury tomorrow.
The Argus - Wednesday, May 1, 1895
The trial of Oscar Wilde, the well-known author and dramatist, was continued to-day at the Old Bailey.
The charge of conspiracy against Wilde and Taylor has been withdrawn, but the charge of misdemeanor against Wilde is being proceeded with.
Oscar Wilde, who has volunteered to give evidence on his own behalf, is now in the witness-box and is denying all the charges brought against him. He alleges that he is innocent and has been made the victim of a system of blackmailing.
The case is still proceeding.
