London, May 20 — Old Bailey Court was crowded today at 11 o’clock in the morning, when Justice Wills, accompanied by the Lord Mayor of
London, Right Hon. Sir Joseph Renals and several aldermen, took their seats upon the bench, preparatory to the commencement of the second trial of Oscar
Wilde. Wilde had previously been driven to the Old Bailey. He was accompanied by Lord Douglas, of Hawick, and Rev. Stewart Headlam, his two bondsmen. He
looked haggard, but had apparently improved in health since his release on bail, and walked smilingly into the prisoner’s dock, where he took his stand,
beside Alfred Taylor, who is charged with similar offences. Sir Edward Clarke, Q. C., counsel for Wilde, immediately made an elaborate argument in favor
of having Wilde tried separately. The judge agreed to this and decided to try Taylor first. Sir Edward Clarke then dwelt at length on the great injury
which was done his client by having to wait while Alfred Taylor was tried, but, in spite of the argument of his counsel, Wilde looked only too pleased as
he stepped from the dock. The judge allowed his bail to be renewed, and he was again released from custody after filling his personal bond in $12,500, and
finding the securities, Lord Douglas of Hawick, and Rev. Steward Headlam, in $6,250 each. It is now probably that Wilde’s case will go over until the next
session of the central criminal court and there is evidently but a slight chance for his conviction. In consequence indignant comment is read on all sides
at the turn events have taken. Meanwhile the trial of Alfred Taylor is proceeded with.
London, May 20.- The Old Bailey court was crowded to-day at 11 o'clock in the morning when Justice Wills, accompanied by the Lord Mayor
of London, Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph Renals, and several aldermen, took their seats upon the bench preparatory to the commencement of the second trial of Oscar
Wilde. Wilde had previously been driven to the Old Bailey. He was accompanied by Lord Douglas, of Hawick, and Rev. Stewart Headlett, his two bondsmen. He
looked haggard, but had apparently improved in health since his release on bail, and walked smartly to the prisoners' dock, where he took his stand beside
Alfred Taylor, who is charged with a similar crime. Sir Edward Clarke, Q. C, counsel for Wilde, immediately made an elaborate argument in favor of having
Wilde tried separately. The judge agreed to this and decided to try Taylor first. Sir Edward Clarke then dwelt at length on the great injury which would
