LONDON, May 20. - Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor were arraigned in the Central criminal court, Old Bailey, this morning for retrial.
Wilde was accompanied by his sureties, Lord Douglas, of Hawick, and the Rev. Stewart Headlam, and entered the dock smilingly. He is obviously very much
improved in health, and spirits as well. Sir Edward Clarke asked for a separate trial for Wilde, on the ground that the indictment against him differed
from that against Taylor. The court granted Wilde the separate trial and the first case, that against Taylor, proceeded.
Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor were arraigned in the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, this morning, for re-trial. Wilde was
accompanied by his surety, Lord Douglas of Howick, and Rev. Stewart Headlam, and entered the dock smilingly. He is obviously very much improved in health
and spirits as well. Sir Edward Clarke asked for a separate trial for Wilde, the indictment against him differing from that against Taylor. The Court
granted Wilde a separate trial and the first case, that against Taylor, proceeded.
Sir Edward Clarke urged that Wilde be tried first. The judge hoped that it would not make the least difference which of the prisoners
was tried first. He and the jury, he said, would do their best to see that the interests of either were not prejudiced. Sir Edward said he had never known
of a case more difficult than Wilde’s. Unless Wilde was tried first he must ask that the case be postponed until the next sessions and his client released
under bail in the meantime. The judge said in regard to postponing Wilde’s trial until the next sessions that he would wait and see the result of Taylor's
case.
