London, May 21.- The trial of Alfred Taylor was resumed in the Old Bailey Court this morning. Taylor was called to the stand and
repeated the statements he made in the witness box at his previous trial. In reply to questions in regard to the visitors at his rooms, Taylor asked to be
allowed to write their names. The Judge said: "If the names are written I will read them aloud. I don't approve of mystery." Taylor did not write them,
but mentioned a few which have already been connected with the case. There were no notable names among them. He denied that he had gone through a marriage
ceremony with a man named Mason. After the libel trial of Wilde against Lord Queensberry, the latter's solicitor, he said, had asked him to make a
statement against Wilde, but this he had refused to do. He admitted that he had written a letter to the man Mason, signing himself, "With love." The
evidence was concluded with Taylor's testimony, and counsel began their addresses to the jury. The judge, in summoning up the evidence, directed the jury
to acquit Taylor as regarded his complicity with the young man Wood, leaving them to decide upon the three charges in which Taylor is alleged to be
directly guilty. The jury retired at 3.25. The Marquis of Queensberry occupied a seat in court in the forenoon. Taylor was found guilty on several counts
in the indictment. The court deferred his sentence.
LATER- Another report has it that the Marquis and Lord Alfred fought in the street with sticks and fists, the son getting much the worst
of it, showing several contusions on the face. The Marquis upon leaving the police station showed no traces of having been engaged in an affair. He was
cheered by the crowd until he drove off in a cab.
