LONDON, May 29. - Oscar Wilde, after he was sentenced, was taken to Holloway jail in the northern part of London. There all his money
and valuables were taken away from him by the warden. He was stripped to the shirt, and an officer wrote down in the prison register a minute account of
his appearance, the color of his eyes, hair, and complexion, and any peculiarities, such as a broken finger, tattoo marks, moles, etc.
Then Wilde was put into a hot bath and his shirt - the last vestige of his days of freedom - was removed. Emerging from the water he
found a full suit of prison clothes ready for him, from under linen to loose shoes and a hideous Scotch cap. His clothes are of dirty drab canvas
plentifully adorned with broad arrows.
Shortly afterward Wilde ate his first real prison meal - an allowance of thin porridge and a small brown loaf.
He was taken finally to Pentonville, hard by the Holborn viaduct, a prison for convicted criminals.
On his release Wilde, if he has worked well and behaved well, shall have earned the magnificent sum of $2.50, which he can have all at
once or it will be doled out to him by an agent of the Discharged Prisoners’ Aid Society if he (Wilde) elects to apply to that excellent institution when
once more free.
The Marquis of Queensberry declares that if the treasury does not reimburse him for the $10,000 he expended in defence of the libel
suit which led to the prosecution of Wilde he will ask some member to bring the question before parliament.
