WILDE CASE TAKES A PECULIAR TURN.
Indignant Comment in London at the Way
He Is Being Shielded.
London, May 20. - The Old Bailey Court was crowded today when Justice Wills, accompanied by the Lord Mayor of London, the Rt.-Hon. Sir Joseph Ronals, and several Aldermen took their seats upon the bench preparatory to the commencement of the second trial of Oscar Wilde. Wilde appeared, accompanied by Lord Douglas of Hawick and the Rev. Stewart Headlam, his bondsmen. He walked smilingly into the prisoners' dock, where he took his stand beside Alfred Taylor, charged with similar offenses.
LONDON, May 20. - The Old Bailey court was crowded today when Justice Wills, accompanied by the lord mayor of London, Right Hon. Sir Joseph Ronals and several other aldermen, took their seats upon the bench preparatory to the second trial of Oscar Wilde, charged with serious misdemeanors. Wilde had previously been driven to Old Bailey by Lord Douglass[sic] of Hawick, and 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 prisoners dock, where he took his stand beside Alfred Taylor, charged with similar offences.

Sir Edward Clarke immediately made an elaborate argument in favor of having Wilde tried separately. The Judge agreed to this and decided to try Taylor first. Wilde looked pleased as the Judge allowed his bail to be renewed. It is now probable Wilde's case will go over until next session of the Central Criminal Court, and there is evidently but slight chance of his conviction. In consequence indignant comment is heard on allsides at the turn events have taken.
In the meanwhile, the trial of Alfred Taylor proceeded.
