The evidence for the prosecution was very strong, and the testimony of the principal witnesses was unshaken by a severe cross-examination. At the conclusion of the evidence Wilde, who made no statement, was committed for trial, bail being refused.

A man named Taylor, who it is asserted was Wilde's chief accomplice in the crime with which he is charged, was arrested during the day. When confronted with this man Wilde was palpably discomposed, turning very pale and trembling like a leaf.
