The Washington Post - Tuesday, April 30, 1895
London, April 29.—The trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor was resumed in the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, to-day. A number of letters, written by the prisoners to young Mayor and others were read. The judge said he had read a letter from a distinguished literary man expressing sympathy with Wilde and a hope that the charges against him would be disproved.
Mr. C. F. Gill, who was Commoner Carson’s assistant counsel in the defense of the Marquis of Queensberry, proceeded to read the evidence taken in the Queensberry trial relating to Wilde’s association with Alphonse Conway, a newsboy at Worthington.
Sir Edward Clarke, on behalf of Wilde, objected to the reading on the ground that the matter was outside the present indictment.
The court declined to interfere and also refused to exclude evidence regarding Wilde’s relations with his fellow-prisoner, Taylor.
The case for the prosecution was closed with to-day’s testimony.
It is announced that Mrs. Oscar Wilde has filed suit for a divorce.
