LONDON, May 23.—The Old bailey Court was again crowded to-day when the trial of Oscar Wilde was resumed. Wilde entered the court-room
looking as haggard as usual and stood for sometime at the foot of the jury box, conversing with the Rev. Stewart Headlam, the clergyman who has acted as

Marquis of Queensberry, in Piccadilly, on Wednesday afternoon.
The Marquis of Queensberry was also in court looking jaunty and confident. He watched Wilde closely and paid great attention to the
evidence. Wilde, it was noticed, carefully avoided the gaze of the Marquis. The evidence given at the previous trial was given in detail.
The Marquis of Queensberry was also in court, looking jaunty and confident. He watched Wilde closely and paid great attention to the
evidence. Wilde, it was noticed, carefully avoided returning the gaze of the Marquis.
Sir Edward Clarke, counsel for Wilde, reviewed in full the evidence given by his client when the latter was examined upon the occasion
of the trial of the Marquis of Queensberry on the charge of libel. This occupied several hours, at the expiration of which time Sir Edward addressed the
jury on behalf of Wilde.
At the conclusion of the day's proceedings the trial was adjourned until to-morrow.
