London, May 22.— The second trial of Oscar Wilde began to-day at Old Bailey before Justice Wills. A dense crowd of interested spectators
were present. Wilde was very restless and looks worried and careworn.
The Solicitor-General, Sir Frank Lockwood, in opening the case for the Treasury, said the indictment covered acts of gross indecency
during the period extending from February to October, 1893. He then recited the charges made against Wilde in connection with Edward Shelley, Alfred Wood
and others.
The Marquis of Queensberry was present at the trial. During the morning session Wilde was taken ill and was obliged to leave the court,
but returned later.
