The hearing of the case against Oscar Wilde and Taylor was resumed to-day, when the charge of conspiracy was withdrawn, but the charge of
misdemeanour is being proceeded with.
Mr. Wilde went into the witness-box, and denied everything that had been charged against him, alleging that he himself was the victim of
blackmail.
Taylor, who also gave evidence, swore that he was absolutely innocent of the charges made against him.
London, May 1.—Taylor swears that he is absolutely innocent of the charge brought against him.
Sir Edward Clarke, Q.C., who appeared for the defence, addressed the jury in an eloquent speech, and claimed an acquittal for the accused
on the ground that the chief witness for the Crown was tainted.
The court adjourned at the close of Sir Edward Clarke's address, and the Judge will sum up to-morrow.
