OSCAR WILDE ON TRIAL.
He Looks Careworn and Shows the Effects of Imprisonment.
London, April 26.—The trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor for unnatural crimes was begun in the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, to-day. Charles Parker and the other witnesses who testified at the preliminary hearings were called to the stand and repeated the stories they had previously told.

Both prisoners pleaded not guilty. The opening speech of the counsel for the prosecution was a repetition of his previous arguments.
