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.
