WILDE JURY DISAGREES
RESULT OF THE SENSATIONAL TRIAL AT THE OLD BAILEY.
The Prisoner Remanded to Jail to Be
Tried at the Next Session of the Criminal Court.
LONDON, May 1.— The jury in the case of Oscar Wilde has disagreed. The accused will be tried again at the Central Criminal Court's next session.
In the Old Bailey Court to-day Justice Charles summed up the case against Wilde and Taylor. The justice said counsel for the prosecution acted wisely in withdrawing the charge of conspiracy brought against Wilde as he, Justice Charles, would have ordered the jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty on that specification. The justice urged the jury not to be influenced by Wilde's writings, saying that many great men had written indecently.
THE JURY RETIRED.
The jury retired at 1.30 P. M. At 3 P. M. they requested that lunch be given them. After lunch, the jury resumed their deliberations and afterwards returned and announced that there was no possibility of their coming to an agreement as to a verdict.
