LONDON, April 29. - The trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor was resumed in the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, to-day. A number
of letters written by the prisoners to young Mayor and others were read. The Judge said he had received letters from a distinguished literary man
expressing sympathy with Wilde and hope that the charges against him would be disproved.
The trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor was resumed in the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, today. A number of letters written by
the prisoners to young Maver and others were read. The judge said he had received a letter from a distinguished literary man expressing sympathy with
Wilde and hoping that the charges against him would be disproved.
C. F. Gill, who was Commoner Garson’s assistant counsel in the defence of the Marquis of Queensberry, proceeded to read the evidence
taken in the Queensberry trial relating to Wilde’s association with Alphonse Conway, a newsboy at Worthing.
Sir Edward Clarke, on behalf of Wilde, objected to the reading on the ground that the matter was outside the present indictment. The
Court declined to interfere, and also refused to exclude evidence regarding Wilde's relations with his fellow prisoner, Taylor. The case for the
prosecution was closed with to-day's testimony.
