PARKER'S BEASTLY TESTIMONY.
London. April 26.- The trial of Wilde and Taylor for unnatural crimes began today. The witnesses who testified at the preliminary hearings repeated the stories they previously told. Wilde looked careworn and thinner. Taylor maintained an air of unconcern. Both prisoners pleaded not guilty. Counsel for the prosecution in opening scathingly arraigned the prisoners.
The evidence given by Parker was vastly more disgusting than the testimony he gave at the former hearings. He swore that Wood and Allen had received £400 blackmail from a man with whom they were guilty of misconduct.
Dwyers' horses, Banquet Second and Don Alonzo, which entered in Carleton handicap at Pontefract to-day did not start.
