LONDON, April 11.-Great crowds
of people were gathered outside and
inside the Bow street police court
today when Oscar Wilde and Alfred
Taylor were brought from the prison
at an early hour in black maria
in order to be examined on remand
on the charge of having committed
serious misdemeanors. The court
opened at IL o'clock with both pris-
oners in the dock Wilde looked bag
gard and worn, and 1t was noticed
that he has greatly changed since
he appeared on the witness stand or
the Old Bailey to prosecute his suit
for libel against the Marquis of
Queensberry, the collapse of which
action in such an unexpected and
sensational manner led to his arrest
and the subsequent terrible dis
closures. Wilde today was much
more subdued, although he smiled
once or twice at certain questions
which were put to him. But he
seemed to

as ever, carrying shining silk hat
in his hand, and displaying on his
ungloved fingers many sparkling

as procurer for the author and dra-

the seriousness of the charges
brought against him as was expect

acted as counsel for Taylor. The
prisoners are evidently making a
desperate fight. Their lawyers to-
day delayed the proceedings in
every possible way, and the exam

be a protracted affair. Taylor's
lawyers said that they would recall

Saturday last, and who related at

of his intimacy with Wilde, was
again placed in the witness box to-

that Wilde took him to Paris in
1893. Further testimony furnished
by the same witness was similar to
that given by young men and boys
who have been previously examined
on this extraordinary case. He
