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 as haggard as usual and stood for sometime at the foot of the jury box, conversing with the Rev. Stewart Headlam, the clergyman who has acted as one of his bondsmen and who is standing by him in his trouble.

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, in Piccadilly, on Wednesday afternoon.

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 returning the gaze of the Marquis.

Wilde, Lord Douglas and the Rev. Stewart Headlam remained in earnest conversation until the Judge took his seat and then they carefully listened to all the testimony furnished. The earnest conversation of the trio was an incident which attracted much attention and was considerably commented upon.

The Rev. Mr. Headlam has taken great interest in the Wilde case. He is one of the most popular clergymen in London and admires stage dancing as being graceful and not injurious to public morals He is the founder of the Stage and Church Guild, has published a treatise on “The Functions of the Stage,” is editor of The Church Reformer and is well known as a lecturer and writer.

Most of the day was occupied in hearing the testimony of several witnesses against Wilde, who testified at the previous trial, which resulted in a disagreement of the jury. Then Sir Edward Clarke, counsel for Wilde, read 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, which resulted in the acceptance by Wilde of a verdict of not guilty.

The reading of this testimony occupied several hours at the expiration of which time Sir Edward addressed the jury in behalf on Wilde, and then the trial was adjourned until to-morrow.
