London, April 26 — The trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor, for unnatural crimes, was begun in the Central Criminal Court, Old
Bailey, today. Chas. Parker and the other witnesses who testified at the preliminary hearing were called to the stand and repeated the stories they had
previously told. Wilde looked careworn and anxious and was much thinner than usual. The fact that he had his haircut short added to his attenuated
appearance. Taylor maintained his air of unconcern. Both prisoners pleaded not guilty. The opening speech of the counsel for the prosecution was a
repetition of his previous arguments. The evidence given by the young man Parker was vastly more disgusting than the testimony given at the Bow Street
Police Court. Upon cross-examination he swore that Wood and Allen had received £400 blackmail from a gentleman with whom they were guilty of misconduct in
the gentleman’s lodgings and that he himself had received £30 from the same person for the same reason.
