THE JUDGE REFUSES BAIL.
Oscar Wilde Remanded to Jail Until
Next Thursday.
London, April 6– Oscar Wilde, who passed last night in the Bow street police station after his arrest by officers of the treasury department, was arraigned in the Bow street court this morning. The courtroom was crowded when Sir John Bridge, the presiding judge, appeared. Lawyer C. F. Fill, the Marquis of Queensberry’s junior counsel, acted as prosecutor for the treasury department. When the magistrate took his seat the doors leading to the cells were opened and Wilde was seen approaching with a stately step and carrying a silk hat in his hand. When he reached the center of the prisoners’ dock he calmly deposited his hat on the seat, bowed to Sir John Bridge, folded his arms and leaned on the rail of the dock in the same insolent manner which he displayed while on the witness stand on the Old Bailey.
