LONDON, April 6. - Oscar Wilde's friend Taylor, whose name figured prominently in the Queensberry libel proceedings, was arrested this
morning. Later he was arraigned at the Bow street police court, with Wilde, charged with being an accessory. As Taylor stepped into the dock Wilde
smilingly recognized him.
The defendants had a preliminary examination, as a result of which both were remanded in custody. A request was made that the prisoners
be admitted to bail, but bail was refused. The only witness examined was Charles Parker, aged 19, who was introduced to Wilde by Taylor. His testimony was
of the most damaging character, and if his story is true, it conclusively proves the case of the Treasury against Wilde.
The Westminster Gazette, commenting on the results of Wilde's prosecution of the marquis of Queensberry, says:
"The case proves that it is untrue to say art has nothing to do with morality. Wilde’s art rests on a basis of rottenness and
corruption.
