The Philadelphia Inquirer - Friday, May 24, 1895
LONDON, May 23. — The Old Bailey Court was again crowded to-day 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 Rev. Stewart Headlam, one of his bondsmen.
The Marquis of Queensberry was also in court, looking jaunty and confident. Wilde carefully avoided the gaze of the Marquis and listened attentively to all the testimony furnished. He seems to fear the verdict.
When the case was reopened the evidence furnished at the previous trial was repeated in detail, no new points of any importance being made. The trial continues to-morrow.
The Judge in the Wilde case to-day ordered the withdrawal of the count against the defendant concerning Wilde's connection with the witness, Shelly, as the latter's statements were uncorroborated.

LONDON, May 23. - The Old Bailey court was again crowded today when the trial of Oscar Wilde was resumed. Wilde, looking haggard, stood sometime at the foot of the jury box conversing with Rev. Stewart Headlam, one of his bondsmen.
They were joined by Lord Douglas of Hawick, whose eye is still discolored as a result of his encounter with his father in Piccadilly. The Marquis of Queensberry 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. The evidence given at the previous trial was repeated in detail.
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. This occupied several hours, at the expiration of which time Sir Edward addressed the jury on behalf of Wilde.
At the conclusion of the day's proceedings the trial was adjourned until tomorrow.
