London, May 20.- Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor were arraigned in the Central Criminal Court Old Bailey, this morning, for re-trial.
Wilde was accompanied by his sureties, Lord Douglas of Hawick and the Rev. Stuart Hedlam, and entered the dock smilingly. He is obviously very much
improved in health and spirits as well.
Sir Edward Clarke asked for a separate trial for Wilde on the ground that the indictment against him differed from that against
Taylor.
The court granted Wilde a separate trial, and the first case, that against Taylor, proceeded.
Charles and William Parker, the brothers who gave evidence at the first trial were again called as witnesses and repeated the testimony
they gave before, except that the cross-examination to which they were subjected elicited from them further admissions as to their blackmailing
practices.
Counsel for Taylor instanced four cases in which the Parker brothers separately or conjointly with Wood and Allen had extorted hush
money.

London, May 21.- The trial of Alfred Taylor was resumed in the Old Bailey Court this morning. Taylor was called to the stand and
repeated the statements he made in the witness box at his previous trial. In reply to a question in regard to the visitors at his rooms Taylor asked to be
allowed to write their names. The Judge said : "If the names are written I will read them aloud. I don't approve of mystery." Taylor did not write them,
but mentioned a few which have already been connected with the case. There were no notable names among them. He denied that he had gone through a marriage
ceremony with a man named Mason.
After the libel trial of Wilde against Lord Queensberry, the latter's solicitor he said, had asked him to make a statement against
Wilde, but this he had refused to do. He admitted that he had written a letter to the man Mason signing himself "with love."
