San Francisco Chronicle - Tuesday, April 30, 1895

LONDON, April 29. - The trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor was resumed today. The evidence was chiefly a repetition of the former evidence. When the case for the prosecution was completed the court adjourned for the day. The defense will open to-morrow.

It has been learned that immediately after her husband was arrested Mrs. Wilde took her children and her belongings from the Wilde residence on Tite street and instructed her lawyer to institute proceedings for a divorce. The proceedings will hinge somewhat on the decision given in the present criminal proceedings against Wilde. Willie, Oscar's brother, formerly the husband of Mrs. Frank Leslie, who was divorced from him, had to raise the money last week to pay Oscar’s lawyers for their services. Willie and Oscar have not been on friendly terms for a long time. When the former visited the Old Bailey on Friday to inform his brother that the money had been paid to Sir Edward Clarke, Oscar’s counsel, Oscar said: "Don't come to see me. I don't wish to see my people."
