A youth named Alfred Wood was ex- amined, and was then cross-examined by Sir Edward Clarke, Q. C., counsel for Wilde, but his evidence was not shaken. Frederick Atkins, another youth, de- scribed as a variety singer, gave evi- dence as te knowing Alfred Taylor and others mentioned during the trial. ‘This witness was also questioned with the view of showing that he re- ceived £500 from a foreign count, whose yacht was lying at Scarborough, but the witness denied having recetved the money. After Atkins had repeated his pre- vious testimony concerning his intl- macy with Wilde, and how he accom. panied him to Parts as his secretary, Sir Edward Clarke severely cross amined him, endeavoring to show that Atkins was a professional blackm: and that he had blackmailed gent at Nice, Paris and various other p Bir Edward asked: “Did you, two years ago, extort a large sum of money from two Americans who were staying at the Hotel Victo- ria?" Atkins, in reply, said he had not black- mailed the two Americans whose names, ft should be added, did not transpire. When Edward Bhelly, the former em- ployee of the publishers Matthews & Lane, was testifying and was asked to tell the jury what had occurred in Oscar Wilde's rooms, the witness pathetically appealed to counsel to read It from his previous deposition and thus spare him the shame of repeating It. Counsel, however, made Shelly repeat his story, ‘The trial was finally adjourned until Monday. aces, a QUEEN WILHELMINA’S VISIT.
