London, April 11 — Crowds gathered outside and inside of the Bow Street police court today, where Wilde and Alfred Taylor were brought
from prison at an early hour in the Black Maria in order to be examined on remand on the charge of having committed serious misdemeanors.
LONDON, April 11. -- Crowds of people gathered outside and inside the Bow Street Police Court this morning when Oscar Wilde and Alfred
Taylor were brought from the prison an early hour in a Black Maria to be examined on remand charges of having committed misdemeanors.
Wilde looked haggard and worn and greatly changed since he appeared in the witness stand at Old Bailey to prosecute a suit for libel
against the Marquis of Queensberry, the collapse of which action led to the arrest and of the subsequent terrible disclosures.
Wilde today was more subdued, although he smiled once or twice at certain questions which were put to him, but he seemed to realize the
gravity of the situation. He was faultlessly dressed, carrying a shining silk hat in his hand, displaying on the ungloved fingers many sparkling gems.
Wilde was much more subdued, although he smiled once or twice at certain questions which were put to him. But he seemed to realize the
gravity of the situation in which he found himself.
Taylor, charged with being a procurer for Wilde, behaved in the same sneering and indifferent manner as when arraigned last week.
The charges against Wilde were confirmed by Charles Parker, a nineteen year-old witness, and Fred Atkins, a variety singer, twenty
years old. Atkins said Wilde took him to Paris in 1893. Further testimony was givens similar to that by young men and boys, who have been previously
examined. Wilde gave him a silver cigarette case and money.
VIEWS OF FRIENDS.
London, April 11 — Friends of Wilde who first were astounded at the awful charges are whispering to each other of his guilt. Some,
however, believe the charges have been invented by Queensberry, and that the witnesses, all newsboys, or discharged lackeys or errant men out of place,
have been subpoenaed, and when the time comes Wilde will speak out and disperse the terrible cloud under which he now lies.
