Hidden Identity and Rooftop Conspiracy Trial Opens

In Hyde Park two officers watched suspects before arresting them in a case tangled with disguises and a possible conspiracy. Simpson hidden as a livery servant and Stacey, a former valet to Sir Frederick Roe, faced a jury amid remarks about rumours and public figures. The defense stressed witnesses' credibility and the defense claimed the indictment misrepresented facts while praising Sir F Booth's public service. Evidence from police constables and other witnesses was presented as the trial progressed with the jury to consider the last count on intent. The judge and counsel debated the case, remarks about the Queen's leaves and rank creating sensational rumor, and the trial continued. Judgment was deferred to the next session.
