LONDON, May 1 - The Old Bailey court room was crowded at the opening of the Wilde trial this morning.
London, May 1. -- The old Bailey court room was crowded at the opening of the Wilde trial this morning.
Wilde looked careworn and anxious, but Taylor maintained the air of unconcern which has characterized him throughout.
Justice Charles, in the beginning of his charge, said the evidence had not sustained the charge of conspiracy, and he therefore
directed the jury to acquit the prisoners of those charges.
Justice Charles, in the beginning of his charge, said that the evidence had not sustained the charge of conspiracy, and he, therefeore
directed the Jury to acquit the prisoners of those charges.
The judge then proceeded to analyze the evidence, solely referring to Wilde, and begged the jury to dismiss from their minds all press
comments and other outside expressions of opinion upon the case.
It was a wholesome rule, he said, to refuse to accept the uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice.
He was of the opinion, however, that there was corroboration in the testimony of all the witnesses in the sense that the law
required.
It did not, it was true, amount to seeing the actual act, but it showed the relations and general conduct of the parties.
The judge, in concluding his charge, said the case was one of great importance to the community. If the jury believed that the charges
against the prisoners were true they should say so fearlessly.

The jury retired at 1.30 o'clock p m.
The jury disagreed.
After deliberating three and a half hours the jury returned to the court room and announced that they had failed to agree on a
verdict.
They were thereupon discharged, and the prisoners were remitted for a new trial. Application was made for the admission of Wilde and
Taylor to bail, but the judge refused to accept bail for either of them.
