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."

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.
