At the Central Criminal Court, London, yesterday, before Mr Justice Wills, Oscar Wilde, 40, author, surrendered to take his trial a second
time on an indictment charging him with certain misdemeanours. The Solicitor-General said the charges alleged against the prisoner extended over a period
from February, 1892, down to about March 1893. He thought the jury, after they had heard the evidence, would be of opinion that the statements of the
witnesses were fully corroborated, so far as they possibly could be. Oscar Wilde gave money to Wood in March, 1893, and Wood went to America. Edward
Shelley detailed the circumstances under which he made the acquaintance of Oscar Wilde and as to his relationship with the prisoner, his evidence being a
repitition of that given at the last trial. Wood and Charles Parker having given evidence, the case was adjourned until to-day.
