The North American - Monday, April 29, 1895
London, April 27 — The trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor, charged with serious misdemeanors, was resumed at the Old Bailey Court yesterday [...] The witness was also questioned by counsel with the view of showing that he received £500 from a foreign count whose yacht was lying at Scarborough, but the witness denied having received the money.
When Edward Shelly, the former employee of Matthews and Lane, was testifying, and was asked to tell the jury what had occurred in Oscar Wilde’s rooms, the witness pathetically appealed to counsel to read it from his previous deposition and thus spare him the shame of repeating it. Counsel, however, made the witness repeat his story. The day was occupied by the examination of the same witnesses who have already been on the stand.
