No man loved an alibi better than Jim
Brown, known in Ohio's past history as
"Chisf Of the counterfeiters Of Cuyaho-
ga" This band of outlaws, according to
the Cleveland Press, dealt principally in
bogus money, and their favorite way Of
escaping justice was by proving an alibi.
The band was so numerous, so scattered,
and, wlthal, 50 loyal, that any sort of
evidence to show that defendant was

alleged crime at the time of its commits

But he did ride 1t, and afterward told how
1t was done.
Finding himself certain to be arrested il
he stayed in Pittsburgh certain night,
he saddled his horse, splendid anil NAL,
and as soon as it was dark started out OF
his wild ride of one hundred miles. For
the first thirty miles his horse kept brave

noticed by the irregular reach an
labored breath that the terrible strain was
telling upon his faithful brute. At the
next tavern Brown procured a pint Of
whisky, and, putting half of it into a
small quantity of water, gave it to his
horse. Then on the road again, his
willing animal worked more steadily. AT
every hill he would dismount and run be
side his horse till it was passed, then on

give his horse more whisky and water. II
