LONDON, ENG., April 30. -- In Old Bailey to-day Oscar Wilde testified in his own behalf. In poetic language he denied the charges
against him. During his argument for the defense Sir Edward Clarke appealed to the jury not to convict Wilde unless the evidence against him was
overwhelming, and asked the jury to liberate from a terrible position "one of the most renowned, accomplished men of letters."
Sir Edward Clarke, in concluding his address to the jury, contended that there was no real evidence against Wilde, except that of
blackmailers, whose testimony should be utterly discredited. Counsel then appealed to the jury not to convict his client, unless the evidence against him
was overwhelming, and asked the jury to liberate from a terrible position "one of the most renowned, accomplished men of letters."
