LONDON, May 23.— The trial of Oscar Wilde was resumed in the Old Bailey court this morning. Parker's servants and several servants of the
Savoy hotel were called to the stand and repeated their former testimony. Nothing new was elicited. The case for the prosecution was closed and Sir Edward
Clarke, on behalf of Wilde, argued that that part of the indictment charging Wilde with misconduct with unknown persons was not sustained by corroborative
evidence. The judge dismissed that part of the case which implicated Wilde in certain practices with Shelley, remarking that he believed Shelley to be
mentally deranged. The court then adjourned, Wilde being released over night on bail.
