LONDON, April 6. -- Oscar Wilde was taken to the police court this morning to be examined. Taylor, who had procured boys for Wilde, was arrested and put in the dock with Wilde. The testimony of Parker, one of the boys upon whom Wilde committed an unnatural crime, was so direct that Wilde's attorney said he was taken by surprise and asked for a postponement.
Sir Archibald Douglass, brother of the Marquis Queensberry, has written a letter saying that the statement credited to Lord Douglass of Hawick, the eldest son of the Marquis of Queensberry that all the family the latter disbelieve absolutely and entirely all charges made against Oscar Wilde, is unauthorized by his mother, his sister or himself. Sir Archibald Douglass adds: "We certainly believe the charge made against Wilde."
Taylor was arrested today and preserved his cheerful demeanor and asked the detective who took him into custody what his sentence was likely to be. The Sun of this city says that another sensational arrest is possible before Thursday next, the day when Oscar Wilde will be brought to Bow street court on remand.
The Marquis of Queensberry has authorized the Globe to deny that there is any truth in the story cabled to the United Press saying that he had written to Oscar Wilde saying: "If the country allows you to leave all the better for the country, but if you take my son with you I will follow you wherever you go and shoot you."
