PHYSICALLY WEAK.
Wilde was then called to the stand and repeated the testimony he gave at the previous trial. Wilde was physically weak and was allowed to sit while testifying. He was cross-examined by Sir Frank Lockwood, who questioned him in regard to his letters to Lord Alfred Douglas, in which he wrote: "I know that Hyacinthus, who was loved by Apollo, was you in the Greek days."
Wilde was then called to the stand and repeated the testimony he gave in the previous trial. Wilde was physically weak and haggard, and was allowed to sit while testifying. He was cross-examined by Sir Frank Lockwood, who questioned him in regard to his letter to Lord Alfred Douglas in which he wrote:
Wilde said he referred to an old poetic idea, not to a sensual, ignoble love. Regarding the young men he had met in Taylor's
rooms
he said he had not asked their business. He liked them, he said, because they admired and praised him. He repeatedly denied that he had been
guilty of any misconduct.
Wilde said he did not refer to love between men, but to an old poetic idea - not to a sensual, ignoble love. Regarding the young men he had met in Taylor’s rooms, he said he had not asked their business. He liked them, he said, because they admired and praised him. He repeatedly denied that he had been guilty of any misconduct.

LOCKWOOD CAUTIOUS.
Wilde's testimony brought out nothing new. Sir F. Lockwood, throughout his cross-examination, carefully avoided giving the defendant any opening for a literary speech. Sir Edward Clarke, in his speech to the jury on behalf of Wilde, maintained that the coherent account which Wilde had given of his relations with Taylor and others entitled his word to be accepted in preference to the allegations of a horde of blackmailers who had long been the pests of London.
