London, May 23.— The Old Bailey was again crowded to-day when the trial of Oscar Wilde was resumed. Wilde entered the court looking as haggard as usual and stood for some time at the foot of the jury box conversing with the Rev. Stewart Headlam, the clergyman who is one of his bondsmen and is standing by him in his trouble. They were joined later on by Lord Douglas of Hawick, whose eye is still discolored as a result of his encounter with his father, Marquis of Queensberry, in Piccadilly on Tuesday afternoon, for which both were bound over yesterday in £500 bail to keep the peace. The Marquis of Queensberry was also in court, looking jaunty and confident. He watched Wilde steadily and paid great attention to the evidence. Wilde, it was noticed, carefully avoided returning the gaze of the Marquis. Wilde, Lord Douglas and the Rev. Stewart Headlam remained in earnest conversation until the judge took his seat and then they carefully listened to all the testimony furnished, evidently regarding every word uttered as studiously as the counsel on both sides. When the case re-opened the evidence furnished at the previous trial was repeated in detail and no new points of any importance are being made.
