LONDON, April 6. -- A large crowd assembled this morning to hear the trial of Oscar Wilde. The charge was of inciting boys to terrible crimes, and of actually committing acts of grossest indecency. The prosecutor then related how in 1893 when Wilde was staying at the Savoy hotel, Alfred Taylor, who was arrested to-day, acted as a procurer for him. The prosecutor then told how Taylor approached two men named Parker, out of work, and told them how money could be made by going with him, and said Wilde was a man who gave much money to youths and men. They consented, and were introduced to Wilde. Wilde told Taylor that the younger Parker was the boy for him and took him to a hotel where he committed a crime.
Young Parker was then called and related with the minutest detail his intimacy with Wilde, at the Savoy hotel, at Albemarle, at Wilde's chambers, and at other places almost daily.
Wilde showed great uneasiness at Parker's testimony.
The counsel for Wilde asked leave to postpone cross examination of Parker, as the evidence had taken them by surprise. The trial of Wilde will take place in the Old Bailey.
