London, April 19.—Oscar Wilde and his friend Alfred Taylor were arraigned in the Bow-street Police Court at noon for further examination. Wilde looked greatly fatigued and really ill. His hair was ruffled and his general appearance indicated carelessness.
Charles Parker was called to the stand and testified that Taylor upon one occasion told him he had gone through the marriage ceremony with young Mayer, he (Taylor) wearing woman’s clothing. After the ceremony there was a wedding breakfast, followed by an orgie.
Other witnesses were called to the stand and gave similar damaging testimony. At the conclusion of the examination Wilde and Taylor were fully committed for trial in the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey. Application was made for bail, but it was refused.
Wilde, in reply to the question whether he had anything to say, said : "Not at present."
