THE LONDON SCANDAL.
WILDE IN THE WITNESS BOX. Press Association.- Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. London, April 30. The charges of conspiracy against Wilde and Taylor have been withdrawn, leaving only those of misdemeanour. Wilde is now in the witnessbox. He denies everything, and represents himself as the victim of blackmail. uATER. Taylor swears that he is absolutely innocent of the charge brought against him. Sir Edward Clarke, Q. 0., counsel for the accused, made an eloquent address to the jury, in which he claimed an acquittal on the ground that the chief witness for the prosecution was a man of questionable reputation. The judge sums up to-morrow.
