Oscar Wilde will serve his two years’ sentence in Wormwood Scrubbs prison. The prison doctors affirm that his heart is weak, and he has
therefore not yet been placed on the treadmill, but has been compelled to pick oakum. His health is broken, and he hardly sleeps. Taylor, his accomplice
in the detestable crimes, takes prison life in a lighter manner. Certain low-class papers clamor for the arrest and trial of the known associates of
"Cocoa," as Taylor is nicknamed. The police actually arrested several male street pests, but they were afterward liberated, the government being unwilling
to create any further social mal-odor.
A London despatch states that Oscar Wilde is serving out his sentence at Wormwood Scrubb's prison, and not Pentonville. The prison
doctors affirm that his heart is weak, and he has therefore not yet been placed on the treadmill, but he has been compelled to pick oakum. His health is
broken, and he hardly sleeps. Taylor takes prison life in a lighter manner. Certain low class papers clamer for the arrest and trial of the known
associates of "Cocoa," as Taylor is nicknamed. The police actually arrested several persons, but they were afterward liberated, the Government being
unwilling to create any further social malodor.
