London, April 19 — At the Bow Street Police Court today Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor, charged with serious misdemeanors, were brought
up on remand and were formally committed for trial, bail being refused in each case. It was noon before the prisoners were brought into the dock. Wilde
was much more pallid and distressed than he has seemed since he first appeared in court. It was necessary to allow him a seat in the dock, and he rested
there in a limp fashion, paying no attention to the proceedings.
LONDON, April 19. — At the Bow Street Police Court to-day Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor, charged with serious misdemeanors, were
brought up on remand and were formally committed for trial, bail being refused in each case. It was noon before the prisoners were brought into the dock.
Wilde was much more pailid and distressed than he has seemed since he first appeared in Court. It was necessary to allow him a seat in the dock, and he
rested there in a limp fashion, paying no attention to the proceedings.
After the evidence in the case had been presented a list of the charges of gross indecency against Wilde was read, and he was asked by
the Magistrate if he wished to say anything in reply. Wilde answered: "Not at present." Alfred Taylor was then charged with attempting to perpetrate an
abominable crime, and both prisoners were committed for trial.
