The trial of Oscar Wilde and his alleged associate in abominable conduct, the man Taylor, was continued at the Old Bailey to-day.
The evidence given was similar in kind to that taken for the defence in the recent trial of the Marquis of Queensberry on the charge of
criminal libel preferred against him by Oscar Wilde.
Some further details were given, but these are of a character so abominable that it is quite impossible to reproduce them.
The principal witness examined to-day was Charles Parker, twenty-one years of age.
The witness presents a very boyish appearance, and was hardly audible. He swore distinctly that he had been "procured" by Taylor for Oscar
Wilde.
The trial was not concluded.
