LONDON, April 7.
Oscar Wilde was brought up at the Bow-street Police Court this morning, charged with criminal offences, the nature of which was
indicated by the evidence in the recent libel action brought against the Marquis of Queensberry.
The evidence for the prosecution was very strong, and the testimony of the principal witnesses was unshaken by a severe
cross-examination. At the conclusion of the evidence Wilde, who made no statement, was committed for trial, bail being refused.
Taylor, who it is asserted was Wilde's chief accomplice in the committal of the crime with which he is charged, was arrested during the
day. When confronted with this man Wilde was palpably discomposed, turning very pale and trembling like a leaf.
