THE LONDON SENSATION.
WILDE AND TAYLOR REMANDED AND REFUSED BAIL.
One Witness, If His Testimony Can be
Relied On, Proved the Case Against the Erotic Poet Who Smiled Upon His Partner.
London, April 6.- Oscar Wilde was taken to a cell in the Bow street station after the charge indicated by his testimony in court was read to him. Mr. Alexander, of the St. James' Theatre, said that The Importance of Being Earnest would be kept on the stage pending the public verdict. It is reported that the Criterion, to which An Ideal Husband was to be transferred from the Haymarket, has decided to put the play on its stage.
The jury to-day found the Marquis of Queensbury not guilty of libel, and further declared the charges against Oscar Wilde to be true and made for the public good. Wilde was taken to a cell in the Bow street station after the charge indicated by his testimony in court was read to him. Mr. W. A. Alexander, of St. James' theatre, said that "The Importance of Being Earnest" would be kept on the stage pending the public verdict. It is reported that the Criterion, to which "An Ideal Husband" was to be transferred from the Haymarket, has decided to put the play on its stage.
Wilde's friend, Taylor, was arrested today. Wilde was arraigned this morning, charged with inciting young men to commit a foul crime, also with having committed the crime himself. Alfred Taylor was also placed in the prisoners' dock charged with being accessory to Wilde's crimes. Wilde greeted Taylor smilingly. The young man Parker was the first witness examined. He testified to his introduction to Wilde by Taylor, meetings between witness and Wilde, conversations and conduct at meetings (too filthy for publication). He swore he received money and presents from Wilde. Parker's story, if true, proves the case against Wilde. Counsel for defendants reserved the right to cross-examine Parker. Both Wilde and Taylor were remanded; bail refused.
