The Brooklyn Citizen - Sunday, June 2, 1895
LONDON, June 1.– Oscar Wilde will serve his two years’ sentence in Wormwood Scrubbe Prison. The prison doctors affirm that his heart is weak, and he has, therefore, not yet been placed on the treadmill, but he has been compelled to pick oakum. His health is broken, and he hardly sleeps. Taylor, his accomplice in the detestable crimes, takes prison life in a lighter manner. Certain low-class paupers clamor for the arrest and trial of the known associates of "Co-cou," as Taylor is nicknamed. The police actually arrested several male street pests, but they were afterward liberated, the Government being unwilling to create any further social malador.

Taylor takes prison life in a lighter manner. Certain low class papers clamer for the arrest and trial of the known associates of "Cocoa," as Taylor is nicknamed. The police actually arrested several persons, but they were afterward liberated, the Government being unwilling to create any further social malodor.
