TAYLOR FOUND GUILTY.
Queensberry and His Son Indulge in a Scrimmage.
London, May 21.- The jury returned a verdict of guilty in the case of Alfred Taylor. Sentence was postponed. The feature of to-day’s trial was a passage at arms between Sir Frank Lockwood, Solicitor-General, and member of Parliament for York, and Sir Edward Clarke, Q. C., Counsel for Wilde, and formerly Solicitor-General. The latter interposed an objection, whereupon Sir Frank Lockwood replied severely, "You are not in this case." The Marquis or Queensberry was among those present in court to-day. The charges against Taylor, in brief, were committing acts of indecency with the brothers Parke. Wilde will be tried to-morrow with a fresh jury.
