London, April 26. -- Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor were brought for trial today at the Old Bailey and pleaded not guilty.
Men and women, twenty deep, filled the corridors of the Old Bailey and fought vainly for standing room. The jury, composed of highly intelligent, appearing middle-aged tradesmen, was polled at 10.20 A.M. and a few minutes later Wilde and Taylor were escorted into court and placed in the prisoners' dock. Wilde was dressed as upon his former appearance in court, but his face was drawn and haggard, his hair had been cut and his swagger had entirely disappeared.
Justice Charles opened court, and a lengthy discussion followed as to whether the prisoners should be tried on all of the twenty-five separate counts of the indictments. Sir Edward Clarke, Q.C., for the defense, objected to such a course, but the judge overruled him, and the prisoners then pleaded not guilty.

C.F. Gill, on behalf of the Treasury, opened the prosecution, reciting the known history of the case, dwelling upon the association of Wilde with Taylor, and giving a graphic description of Taylor’s darkened perfumed rooms where Wilde was in the habit of meeting his associates. Counsel went in detail through the various charges, reviewing all the testimony already presented.
