London, April 11. - Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor were arraigned for examination in the Bow street police court this morning. Wilde was
defended by Commoner Clarke, who announced that he would not cross-examine any of the witnesses until they testified at the trial of the charges against
Wilde.
Counsel for Alfred Taylor examined the young man Parker, who admitted that he was 21 years of age, and had been guilty of improper
conduct with many persons besides Wilde. Parker also admitted that he received 20 pounds sterling from persons whose pursuit it was to extort money from
gentlemen.
A young man named Atkins, a man called Shelley, and others, gave testimony.
The hearing was adjourned for a week, and Wilde and Taylor were remanded without bail.
It is reported that Wilde has been ill since his confinement in jail.

The Chief Librarian of the British Museum authorizes the United Press to deny the statement circulated yesterday that the books and
publications written by Oscar Wilde had been withdrawn from public use in the library of that institution. An act of Parliament compels the Museum to keep
in its possession and accessible to the public copies of all publications copyrighted in the United Kingdom, except such as may be personally libelous.
The question of withdrawing Wilde’s books has not been considered at all. The rumor of their withdrawal was probably due to the difficulty experienced by
inquirers for the books in getting them, owing to the great rush of curious persons who desired to look through them.
