ne Old Bailey Crowded at the Trial
His Friends Confer.
London, May 25.-The Old Bailey
:ourt was again crowded today when
the trial OF Oscar Wilde was resumed.
Wilde entered the court room looking
haggard, and stood for some time at
the foot Of the jury box, conversing
with Rev. Stewart Headlam, one Of
the b0ndsmen. They were Joined
later on by Lord Douglas Of Hawick,
whose eye 10 still discclored as 4 re-
suit OF his encounter with his father,
the Marquis Of Queensberry, In Pic
cadilly, for which they were bound
over yesterday In f1OO each to keep
the peace. The Marquis Of Queens
berry was also in court, looking con.
6dent and Jaunty. He watched Wilde
closely and paid great attention to the
evidence. Wilde, It was noticed, care
fully avoided the gnxe of the Marquis.
Wilde, Lord Douglas Of Hawick and
Rev. Stewart Headlam remained in
earnest conversation until the Judge
took his seat. They listened atten-
lively to all the testimony furnished,
evidently weighing every word a. stu
diously as counsel on both sides. Tho
earnest conversation of the trio was
an incident which attracted much at.
tention, and was considerably COM
mented upon. When the case was re-
opened the evidence furnished ut the
previous trial was repeated in detail,
no new points Of any importance .bes
Ing made.

gled mass, surging back and forth
across the bottom Of the pit and upon
