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 do not approve of mystery."
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.
