The New York Times - Saturday, April 27, 1895
LONDON, April 26. -- The trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor was begun in the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, to-day. Charles Parker and the other witnesses who testified at the preliminary hearings were called to the stand and repeated the stories they had previously told.
Wilde looked careworn and anxious, and was much thinner than usual. The fact that he had had his hair cut short added to his attenuated appearance. Taylor maintained his air of unconcern.
Both prisoners pleaded not guilty. The opening speech of the counsel for the prosecution was a repetition of his previous arguments.

London, April 26.- The trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor for unnatural crimes, was begun in the Central Criminal Court (Old Bailey), to-day. Charles Parker and other witnesses who testified at the preliminary hearings, were called to the stand and repeated the stories they had previously told.
Wilde looked careworn and anxious and was much thinner than usual. The fact that he had had his hair cut short added to his attenuated appearance. Taylor maintained his air of unconcern. Both prisoners pleaded not guilty. The opening speech of the counsel for the prosecution was a repetition of the previous arguments.
The evidence given by the young man Parker was vastly more disgusting than the testimony he gave at the hearing in the Bow street police court. Upon cross examination he swore that Wood and Ailen had received £400 blackmail from a gentleman with whom they were guilty of misconduct in the gentleman's lodgings, and that he had himself received £30 from the same person tor the same reason.
