The opening speech of the counsel for the prosecution was a repetition of his previous arguments. The evidence given by the young man Parker was vastly more disgusting than the testimony he gave at the hearings in the Bow Street Police Court. Upon cross-examination he swore that Wood and Allen had received £400 blackmail from a gentleman with whom they were guilty of misconduct in the gentleman's lodgings, and that he himself had received £30 from the same person for the same reason.

It was no wonder that Wilde looked uncomfortable; for the evidence given by young Parker was vastly more disgusting than the testimony he gave at the hearings in the Bow Street Police court.
