三個星期後，2月27日，圖靈和阿諾德到威姆斯洛地方法院出席聽證會。

The CID officer, Mr Wills, described the circumstances of the arrests, and read out the statements in full.

刑事偵查局的威爾斯描述了詳細的逮捕細節，並宣讀了完整的調查陳述。

There was another prosecution witness: Alan's bank manager, whose ledgers corroborated the detail of the ￡7 cheque.

圖靈的銀行經理作爲證人，提交了關於7英鎊支票的一些證據。

There was no cross-examination. Alan's solicitor 'reserved his defence', and obtained his release on ￡50 bail.

圖靈並未受到交叉審訊，他的律師爲他保留了辯護權，並以50英鎊把他保釋在外。

Arnold, however, was held in custody pending the trial proper, to be held at the forthcoming Quarter Sessions.

但阿諾德則不一樣，他要一直待在看守所，直到開庭審理。

The local newspaper5 reported the court appearance and the gist of the story.

當地報紙隨後報道了聽證情況和整個事件的要點，

They printed both men's full addresses, in the usual way, and a photograph of Alan.

還刊登了兩人的地址，以及一張圖靈的照片。

The case was not taken up in the Manchester papers, but there was certainly a possibility of the forthcoming trial being reported widely.

當然，對圖靈來說，上報紙並不新鮮。這件報道本身，並未佔據很大篇幅，但是誰也沒法估計，這會進一步地導致什麼。
