The Chicago Tribune - Friday, May 24, 1895
London, May 23. - The Old Bailey Court was again crowded today when the trial of Oscar Wilde was resumed. Wilde entered the court room looking haggard and stood for some time at the foot of the jury box conversing with the Rev. Stewart Headlam, one of his bondsmen. They were joined later on by Lord Douglas of Hawick, whose eye is still discolored as a result of his encounter with his father, the Marquis of Queensberry. The Marquis was also in court, looking jaunty and confident. He watched Wilde closely and paid great attention to the evidence. Wilde, it was noticed, carefully avoided the gaze of the Marquis.
Wilde, Lord Douglas of Hawick, and Rev. Stewart Headlam remained in earnest conversation until the Judge took his seat. They listened attentively to all the testimony furnished, evidently weighing every word uttered as studiously as counsel on both sides. The earnest conversation of the trio was an incident which attracted much attention and was considerably commented upon. The evidence furnished at the previous trial was repeated in detail, no new points of any importance being made. After Sir Edward Clarke, counsel for Wilde, reviewed in full the evidence furnished by his client when the latter was examined upon the occasion of the trial of the Marquis of Queensberry on the charge of libel, he addressed the jury. At the conclusion of the day's proceedings the trial was adjourned until tomorrow.
