LONDON, Tuesday Night.— The trial of Alfred Taylor, the associate of Oscar Wilde, for offences under the 11th section of the Criminal Law
Amendment Act, was continued to-day before Mr. Justice Wills.
London, May 21. -- The trial of. Alfred Taylor, the associate of Oscar Wilde, for offences under the 11th section of the Criminal -Law
Amendment Act, was continued at the Central Criminal Court to-day.
The jury found Taylor guilty on two charges of indecency connected with the young men Parker. They disagreed, however, on the charges of
procuration. Sentence was postponed.
When the jury had retired in Taylor's case Sir Edward Clarke, Q.C., M.P., who is defending Wilde, asked that the charges against his
client might be proceeded with immediately.
Mr. Frank Lockwood, Q.C., who appeared for the prosecution, at once rose and angrily declared that he expected some similar request would
be made, the defence availing themselves of the position arising from separate trials.
Mr. Justice Wills said he would defer his decision until Taylor's case had concluded.
It was ultimately decided that the charges against Wilde should be proceeded with to-morrow before a fresh jury.
LONDON. Wednesday, 1 p.m.— The trial of Oscar Wilde commenced this morning. He is charged with indecency towards Alfred Taylor, Charles
Parker, Edward Shelley, and a young man named Woods. The Marquis of Queensberry attended the court.
The evidence against Wilde remains unshaken.
