HOPES FOR OSCAR WILDE.
The Chances for His Conviction Are
Thought to Be Slight.
LONDON, May 20. - The Old Bailey Court was crowded to-day, when Justice Wills, accompanied by the Lord Mayor of London, Sir Joseph Ronals, and several Aldermen, took their seats upon the bench preparatory to the second trial of Oscar Wilde, who is charged with serious misdemeanors.
LONDON, May 20. -- The Old Bailey Court was crowded at 11 o'clock this morning when Justice Wills, accompanied by the Lord Mayor of London, Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph Renals, and several Aldermen took their seats upon the bench preparatory to the commencement of the second trial of Oscar Wilde, who is charged with serious misdemeanors.
Wilde had previously been driven to the Old Bailey, accompanied by Lord Douglas of Hawick and the Rev. Stewart Headlam, his two bondsmen. He looked haggard, but had apparently improved in health since his release on bail, and walked smilingly into the prisoner's dock, where he took his stand beside Alfred Taylor, charged with similar offenses.
Sir Edward Clark, Q.C. counsel for Wilde, made an elaborate argument in favor of having Wilde tried separately.
The Judge agreed to this and decided to try Taylor first.
Sir Edward Clarke then dwelt at length on the great injustice done his client by having to wait while Alfred Taylor was tried. But in spite of the argument of his counsel, Wilde looked only too pleased as he stepped from the dock and the Judge allowed the bail to be renewed and he was again released from custody on bail.

But in spite of the argument of his counsel, Wilde looked only too pleased as he stepped from the dock, and the Judge allowed his bail to be renewed, and he was again released from custody, after filing his personal bond in $12,500 and finding two sureties, Lord Douglas, of Hawick, and Rev. Stewart Headlam, in $6,250 each.

It is probable that Wilde's case will go over until the next session of the Central Criminal Court, and there is evidently but a slight chance of his conviction. Indignant comment is heard on all sides at the turn events have taken.
