Poor OLD ALrBI-In recent trial in
this city one of the prisoners attempted to
establish an alibi, and perhaps might have
succeeded had the number of witnesses not
been too great. Three witnesses agreed
tolerably well on certain points, not differ
ing to any material extent, but the fourth
came in and knew more than enough. She
swore positively that accused was at home
all day, and that she had seen him every
few minutes from breakfast until supper.
The most reliable testimony was to the eff
feet that accused had visited a distant store,
and another person had seen him on horse
back away from home on that eventful day.
The old woman had sworn that the pris-
oner had not been outside his own house,
and she stuck to it without finchiHg.
