San Francisco Chronicle - Saturday, April 20, 1895
LONDON, April 19. - At the Bow-street Police Court to-day Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor, charged with serious misdemeanors, were brought up on remand and formally committed for trial, bail being refused.
Wilde was much more pallid and distressed than he had seemed since he first appeared in court. It was necessary to allow him a seat in the dock, and he rested there in a limp fashion, paying no attention to the proceedings.
The list of charges of gross indecency against Wilde was read. He was asked by the magistrate if he wished to say anything in reply. Wilde answered, "Not at present."
Counsel on behalf of Wilde made an application for bail, but the presiding magistrate replied that he considered the evidence so serious that bail could not be allowed.
