THE ALIBI SEASON.

The abb is the best defense. al
writers upon criminal law agree.
will probably be much in use within
the next few months in sections of tn,

returned against night riders. Twenty
eight men sued for damages by the

scene of the trial. to presume that any
defendant is guilty before the jury re-
turns verdict or to seek to discredi Il
the testimony introduced to prove the
absence of defendants from the scene
of the crime, but as the forerunners
OF other alibis the twenty-eight
offered at Padueah are interesting to
the public, says the Courier-Journal.
Mr.. Hyde proves an alibi by ply

Joe Murphy was at a friends house

Milton Oliver was chasing a horse

The Post-Intelligencer of Seattle,

appeared in the Sunday edition is of
such interest that it is reprinted

quered by science and will soon do

fines of great granite walls the Great
Northern is establishing the first of
