LONDON, May 22. — The second trial of Oscar Wilde was begun in the Old Bailey Court, before Justice Wills. There was a dense crowd of
interested spectators present in the court room. Wilde was very restless and looked 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.
