Difference
The second trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor commenced this morning at the Central Criminal Court before Mr. Justice Wills.
Wilde was accompanied by his two sureties, Lord Douglas of Hawick and the Rev. Stewart Headlam, and when called upon to surrender
walked smilingly into the dock. His health had evidently benefitted greatly by his temporary freedom, owing to the result of the first trial.
The indictment differed considerably from that originally framed.
It was decided to take the case of Taylor first, although Sir E. Clarke opposed.
Sir Edward then asked that the case against Wilde should stand over until the next sessions.
The Jury were discharged, and the case was ordered to stand over until the next Sessions.
His lordship said he must wait and see the result of the other trial before offering any opinion on the application. Wilde was then
removed from the dock, and the trial of Taylor was proceeded with.
