Times Union - Thursday, April 11, 1895
LONDON, April 11. - Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor were arraigned for examination in the Bowe street police court this morning. Wilde was defended by Commoner Clarke, who announced that he would not cross-examine any of the witnesses until they testified at the trial of the charges against Wilde. Counsel for Alfred Taylor again examined the young man Parker, who admitted that he received £20 from persons whose pursuit it was to extort money from gentlemen.
The hearing was adjourned for a week and Wilde and Taylor were again remanded without bail.
It is reported that Wilde has been ill since his confinement in jail.
The chief librarian of the British museum authorizes the United Press to deny the statement circulated yesterday that the books and publications written by Oscar Wilde had been withdrawn from public use in the library of that institution. An act of parliament compels the museum to keep in its possession and accessible to the public, copies of all publications copyrighted in the United Kingdom, except such as may be personally libelous. The question of withdrawing Wilde’s works has not been considered at all. The rumor of their withdrawal was probably due to the difficulty experienced by inquirers for the books in getting them, owing to the great rush of curious persons who desired to look through them.
