The Queenslander - Saturday, May 11, 1895

The case against Oscar Wilde and Taylor was resumed this morning, the address of the counsel for the accused having been concluded yesterday.

The presiding Judge, Sir Arthur Charles, summed up in favour of the accused, and laid emphasis on the fact that several of the witnesses for the prosecution were undoubted blackmailers.

After deliberating for some time the jury announced that they were unable to agree, and they were thereupon discharged.

The accused will be re-tried, and meantime they were remanded to gaol, bail being refused.
