THE PROSECUTION OF OSCAR WILDE.
Mr. Justice Charles resumed the hearing of the charges against Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor yesterday at the Central Criminal Court. There was again a large attendance of the public. Ihe evidence for the prosecution was continued by the examination of shorthand writers who took notes in Wilde v. Marquis of Queensberry. The masseur, Mr. M, Anton Migge, and members of the staff of the Savoy Hotel were then called against Wilde. The Clerk of the Court produced the indictment in Wilde v. Queensberry for libel. It was agreed that Mr. Gill should read from the beginning of the cross-examination. The publications upon which Wilde had given answers were the "Chameleon," "Dorian Grey," "The Priest and the Acolyte," and "Phrases and Philosophies for the Young," the answers disclosing not only how far he identified himself with the principles therein enunciated, but his views generally upon art morality. The case was adjourned.
