In cross-examination Oscar Wilde admitted that he was acquainted with men named Taylor, Parker, and Atkins. Taylor had introduced him to
five young men on separate occasions to whom witness had given money, but he was not aware that any of them were gentlemen's servants. He said he derived
pleasure from being in the company of bright, happy people. Witness had frequently been in Taylor's room. He was aware that both Taylor and Parker had
once been arrested, but he continued their friendship. Once he took Atkins and a youth named Price to Paris, and introduced them to another youth named
Ernest Scarp, who became acquainted with Lord Douglas when making the voyage to Australia. Wilde said he had made presents to Scarp and Mabor because he
liked them. Letters read in court proved that the Marquis of Queensberry was endeavoring to stop his son visiting Wilde. The son wired back to his father
that Wilde was a funny little man. The Marquis subsequently called at Wilde's house, where a furious scene took place. The latter denied the charges
levelled against him, and showed the Marquis the door. Witness wrote to the Marquis complaining that his wife encouraged his son's visits. Wilde's
friendship with Lady Queensberry and her sons remained unbroken. Certain letters from the youths already named showed that the writers were poverty
stricken, some imploring assistance or employment.
