<b><center>THE WILDE CASE</center></b>
<center>TO-DAY'S PROCEEDINGS</center>

The trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor was resumed at the Old Bailey to-day, before Mr. Justice Charles. There was again a large attendance. - Mr. Horace Avory and Mr. C. F. Gill appeared for the prosecution; Sir E. Clarke, Mr. C. Mathews, and Mr. Travers Humphreys represented Wilde; Mr. J. P. Grain and Mr. Paul defended Taylor; and Mr. Leonard Kershaw watched the case for the witness Sydney Mavor.

Alfred Wood again went into the box, and was cross-examined by Sir E. Clarke. He said he went to American in 1893, and returned the following year. He represented to Mr. Wilde in 1893 that he wished to get away from the persons he was connected with, and it was by that representation that he obtained ₤30 from Mr. Wilde. When he came back from America he was taken ill, and had not been in any employment since. The cross-examination was directed to the subject of the letters of which witness obtained possession. He admitted that when he pretended to give up the letters to Mr. Wilde he knew that one letter was in possession of Allen and that it had been copied.

Thomas Price, 10, St. James's-place, proved that Wilde occupied rooms there, and that he was visited by Taylor and other persons.

Frederick Atkins repeated the evidence he gave at the police-court.

After some further evidence, Sir E. Clarke asked if his Lordship would rise at four o'clock and not sit again till eleven o'clock on Monday. - His Lordship assented.
