Difference
The case against Oscar Wilde was proceeded with to-day, when the accused was allowed to give evidence, and emphatically denied all the
charges laid against him.
Wilde, who was very weak, was seated in the box while giving his evidence. He stated that he always understood that Taylor was a
respectable man. Referring to his other associates, he said that he personally liked them and that their praise and the lionising which they bestowed upon
him were to him delightful.
Sir Edward Clarke, Q.C., who appears for Wilde, said that the witnesses who gave evidence against his client were a lot of blackmailers,
and that it was impossible to believe their statements.
Sir Edward Clarke, Q.C., counsel for the accused, declared that the witnesses for the prosecution were blackmailers, and that it was
impossible to believe them.
