WILDE TESTIFIES AGAIN.
He Becomes so Eloquent that He Provokes a Burst of Applause.
London, Apr. 30. -- At today's trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor Counsellor Gill intimated that the prosecution withdrew the charges of conspiracy. The court said that after the evidence which had been given the counts charging conspiracy were needless.
Sir Edward Clarke said: "Then I ask for a verdict of not guilty on those counts." The court refused to consent to such a verdict, saying that he would simply accede to the application of Mr. Gill to have the charges of conspiracy withdrawn.

Sir Edward Clarke then addressed the jury for the defence. He cited Wilde's literary works, and argued that in no instance had his client written anything that would lead any one to suppose him guilty of the practices alleged. Sir Edward explained the ending of the Queensberry trial, saying that Wilde's counsel were entirely responsible for its abrupt termination. It became clear, he said, that the jury would not convict Lord Queensberry, and he, therefore, advised Wilde to accept a verdict against himself.
