Oscar Wilde, upon resuming his place on the witness stand, admitted that he had attended tea parties in the rooms of a man named Taylor, which were artistically furnished and in which per- fumes were burning, He denied, however, that he had seen Taylor in woman's costume, Further questions upon the part uf Mr. Carson, counsel for the Marquis of Queensberry, brought forth the admission that Tay- lor introduced to Wilde five youths to whom Wilde gave money and took them to dinner at a restaurant. aware that one of them was a valet and another a coachman or that Taylor in Fitzroy Square, Wilde, in his answers to the questions put to him, exhibited confusion and con- tradicted himeelf frequently, He also lost his temper. Mr. Carson's questions in the main, pitiless and unprint- cross-examination of the plaintiff was concluded at noon after having lasted, including the time of yes- terday, over six hours, Sir Edward Clarke, formerly Sollcitor- General, leading counsel for Oscar Wilde then began the redirect examination of his client by putting in certain letters of the Marquis of Queensberry in which he called upon his son, Lord Alfred Douglas, to cease his “infamous tntl- mac; with the plaintiff, saying that his “blood turned cold at the sight of their Infamous faces." He added: “!1 hear that Wilde's wife will petition for a divorce on peculiar grounds. If you do not cease to let him disgrace us 1 shall feel justified in shooting him on sight" To this letter Lord Alfred Douglas replied by telegraph to his father, suy- ing: “What a funny little man you are." After the noon recess the crowd ip the court-room was larger than ever and the hall and stairs leading to it were filled ten deep with well-dressed men who were awaiting a chance to enter, The Marquis of Queensberry lunched with several of hia friends, and the sym- pathy of all present in court seems to be with him, Wilde kept the Court waiting for ten minutes, for which he apologized to Justice Collins, saying that he had been consulting his doctor, After the productions of other letters, the case for the plainuf! was closed an. Mr. Carson began his speech for the defense.
