LONDON, May 21, 1895. When the trial of Alfred Taylor was resumed in the Old Bailey Court in the 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 do not approve of mystery."

visitors at his room he asked to be allowed to write their names. The Judge said: "If the names are written I will read them aloud. I do not approve of
mystery."
Taylor did not write the names, but mentioned a few which have already been connected with the case. There were no notable names among
them.
The evidence was concluded with Taylor's testimony, and counsel began their addresses to the jury. The Judge, in summing 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 evidence was ended with Taylor's testimony, and counsel began their addresses to the jury. The Judge, in summing up the evidence,
directed the jury to acquit Taylor as regarded his complicity with the young man Wood, leaving them to decide upon three charges on which Taylor is
alleged to be guilty. The jury retired at 3:25 P.M. The Marquis of Queensberry occupied a seat in court.
When the Jury returned to the court room and had been polled, the foreman stated that they, though disagreeing on one count, found
Taylor guilty on two counts, in regard to Charles and William Parker.
Taylor's sentence was deferred until a verdict should be reached in the trial of Wilde, which will begin to-morrow.
