Old Bailey courtroom was crowded almost to suffocation this morning when Mr. Carson resumed his speech in behalf of the marquis of Queensberry. It would be his painful duty, he said, to put upon the witness stand men who would speak freely of the nature of their connection with the plaintiff, Wilde. The ages of these men have varied from eighteen to twenty-five years. They were of a class of servants, valets, etc., not belonging to Wilde's station in life, nor interested in literature or art, yet they addressed this distinguished dramatist by his Christian name, "Oscar," he in turn calling them "Charley," "Freddy," etc.

Proposition of Oscar's Counsel.
Sir. Edward Clarke interrupted Carson and said he had undertaken great responsibility in defending Wilde against the charges made against him by the marquis of Queensberry. In regard to the literature which Wilde had published and upon which Mr. Carson had questioned him, he (Sir Edward) had come to the painful conclusion that it could not be expected that the jury would find a verdict of guilty on the actual words used by the defendant. He had consulted with Wilde in the interim of the adjournment of court, and in order to save the court the painful details connected with the rest of the case he was prepared to accept a verdict of the jury in regard to Wilde's literature. The judge interposed and said if the jury were satisfied in agreeing upon a verdict on one point of the case they must return a verdict of guilty or not guilty as regards the entire case.
