London, May 21. - Alfred Taylor, who was jointly charged with Oscar Wilde with indecencies, was convicted this afternoon by a jury in
Bow Street Court. Sentence was postponed. Taylor was indicted with Wilde, but by means which excited great indignation the trials were made separate.
Taylor was tried first and Wilde released on bail. Taylor is wealthy, his father having left him an immense fortune. It is said his apartments where the
orgies in which he, Wilde, and the Parker brothers took part were furnished at an outlay of $200,000. Before his trial he threatened, if he were
convicted, to make public details which would connect with the scandal the names of some of the most prominent personages in England.
The feature of the trial today was a passage at arms between Sir Frank Lockwood, the Solicitor General and member of parliament for
York, and Sir Edward Clarke, counsel for Wilde and formerly Solicitor-General. The latter interposed an objection, whereupon Sir Frank Lockwood replied
severely: "You are not in this case."

The Marquis of Queensberry was among those present in court today. Wilde will be tried tomorrow.
