The Old Bailey court was crowded at 11 o'clock this morning when Justice Wills, accompanied by the Lord Mayor of London, the 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 was
accompanied by Lord Douglas of Hawick and Rev. Stewart Headlam, his two bondsmen. He looked haggard, but walked smartly into the dock, where he took his
stand beside Alfred Taylor, charged with a similar offence. Sir Edward Clark, Q C., 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 Clark then dwelt on the great injury which had been done his client by
having to wait while Taylor was tried, but Wilde looked pleased as he stepped from the dock and was again released after filing his personal bond in
$12,500 and finding two securities. It is probable Wilde's case will go over to the next session of the central criminal court.
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, the 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 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 smartly into the prisoners’ dock, where he took his stand
beside Alfred Taylor, who is charged with a similar offence. Sir Edward Clark, 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 Clark then dwelt at length on the great injury
which had been done his client by having to wait while Taylor was tried, but in spite of the argument of his counsel Wilde looked only too pleased as he
stepped from the dock and the judge allowed his bail to be renewed and he was again released from custody after filing his personal bond in $12,500 and
finding two securities. Lord Douglas of Hawick and the Rev. Stewart Headlam, in $6250 each. It is now probable that Wilde’s case will go over to the next
session of the central criminal court, and there is evidently but very slight chance of his conviction.
