London, April 6.—Oscar Wilde’s friend, Taylor, was arrested and taken to the Bow-street Police Station this morning. When Wilde was
arraigned in the Bow-street Police Court this morning, Alfred Taylor was placed in the prisoner’s dock, charged with being accessory to Wilde’s crimes. As
Taylor stepped into the dock Wilde smilingly recognized him. Taylor is a man of medium size with sharp features and a fair complexion.
Charles Parker, 19 years of age, was the first witness examined. He gave in detail the particulars of his introduction to Wilde by
Taylor, and stated that the latter said Wilde was "Good for money." Parker testified that he had frequently dined with Wilde at various restaurants, and
detailed the conversations between them on these occasions. He also told of visits to the Savoy Hotel with Wilde, and of meeting Wilde at his chambers at
St. James’ Place.

St. James place. He made fre-quent visits to the latter place. Parker described the conduct of himself and Wilde at these meetings, and swore that he had
received money and other presents upon almost every occasion.
The story told by Parker, if true, proves the case of the Treasury against Wilde. Counsel for Wilde and Taylor reserved the right to
cross-examine Parker.
