THE CHARGE AGAINST TAYLOR.
A VERDICT OF GUILTY.
At the resumed trial of Alfred Taylor on charges of misdemeanour at the Central Criminal Court to-day, Taylor left the dock and entered the witness-box. He gave his evidence with perfect self-possession.
In re-examination, Taylor stated that many of the persons whose names had been mentioned were old acquaintances. With none of these had he ever misconducted himself.
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 Taylor's guilt.
