Club Scandal.
Oscar Wilde and Taylor.
Grand Jury
Finds True Bill.
ACCUSED PLEAD "NOT GUILTY."
LONDON, April 23.
The charge of having committed a misdemeanour preferred against Oscar Wilde, poet and dramatist (who was arrested on the acquittal of the Marquis of Queensberry on a charge of criminally libelling Wilde), and the charge of felony against Taylor (said to be Wilde's accomplice) have been advanced a further stage, the grand jury having found a true bill in both cases. Counsel for the accused, on the cases being called at the Central Criminal Court, to-day, stated that they intended to plead "not guilty," and to fight the charges to the bitter end.
