London, Tuesday.The trial of Alfred Taylor on certain serious charges was resumed at the Old Bailey to-day. Taylor, on going into
the box, gave an emphatic denial to the whole of the allegations.
Mr Grain, addressing the jury, appealed to them to place no reliance upon the testimony of blackmailers and accomplices, and maintained
that the prosecution had failed to establish Taylors guilt.
The Solicitor-General replied on behalf of the Crown submitting that the evidence left no doubt as to the accused's guilt.

Justice Wills, in summing up, said it was an established rule that a prisoner ought not to be convicted on uncorroborated evidence of
accomplices, and it was for the jury to say what weight ought to be attached to the evidence adduced in corroboration of the statements of accomplices.
They should satisfy themselves before giving an adverse verdict, that corroborative evidence warranted conviction. His lordship, reviewing specific
charges, said he was abuntly justified in not withdrawing the case from the jury.
