London, April 4. -- There was unabated interest to-day at the Old Bailey in the taking of testimony on the second day of the trial of
the suit for libel brought by Oscar Wilde against the Marquis of Queensberry, but there were few notable persons present. The plaintiff arrived in court
at an early hour and took his seat at the table reserved for the solicitors. The Marquis of Queensberry entered a few minutes later, looking jaunty and
confident.
LONDON, April 4. -- There was unabated interest today at the Old Bailey in the taking of testimony on the second day of the trial of
the suit for libel brought by Oscar Wilde against the Marquis of Queensberry. The audience was largely composed of lawyers and reporters. There were few
notable persons present. The plaintiff arrived in court at an early hour, and took his seat at the table reserved for the solicitors. The Marquis of
Queensberry entered a few minutes later, looking jaunty and confident. Several of his friends rushed forward and shook the defendant's hand as he entered
the dock.
Mr. Carson's cross-examination of the plaintiff was concluded at noon, after having lasted, including the time of yesterday, over six
hours. Sir Edward Clarke, leading counsel for Wilde, then began the examination of his client.
After the noon recess the crowd in the court room was larger than ever, and the hall and stairs leading to it were filled ten deep with
well-dressed men, who were awaiting a chance to enter. The Marquis of Queensberry lunched with several of his friends, and the sympathy of all present in
court seems to be with him. Wilde kept the court waiting for ten minutes, for which he apologized to Justice Collins, saying that he had been consulting
his doctor. After the production of other letters, the case for the plaintiff was closed and Mr. Carson began his speech for the defense. It was terribly
denunciatory of Wilde, who left the court room as soon as the counsel for the defendant began to speak.
