The South Australian Chronicle - Saturday, May 25, 1895
The third trial of Oscar Wilde was begun to-day, and the evidence previously tendered against him was repeated without alteration. All attempts at cross-examination by Sir Edward Clarke, Q.C., counsel for the prisoner, failed to shake the testimony in any vital particular.
LONDON, May 23.
Sir Edward Clarke, Q.C., M.P., who appears for Wilde on his third trial for indecency, asked the judge not to send on the Savoy Hotel case to the jury, but his Honor Mr. Justice Mills said a sense of duty prevented him from withdrawing this portion of the case from the jury.
Mr. Judge dismissed the count of indecency against Wilde in connection with the alleged accomplice Shelley on the ground that Shelley's evidence lacked support and that it had been proved that he frequently suffered from delusions. Sir Alfred Mills added that he considered that there was nothing unnatural in the friendship between the two men, and that the evidence which had been adduced did not go to prove that it was otherwise than perfectly honorable.
