“Ten Minute Alibi”

WATERTIGHT ALIBI" WHICH SUCCEEDED

There is much magic in an alibi. It is such a simple and yet so potent a weapon if effectively wielded.

To the untutored mind of the ardinary malefactor, it is, almost a necessity His first ides in nine cases out of ten, when, gripped by the arm of the law is to cry aloud "I didn't do it. I couldn't have done it. I wasn't there." .

"Vell" said Mr. Weller to his Ron Sam, "Now I suppose Mr. Pickvick will want some witnesses) to speak to his character or per-1 haps to prove an alleybì- I've gòti some friends who'll do either for him but my advice 'ud be this here: -never mind the character but stick to the alleybi: Nothing lika an alleybi, Sammy, nothing."

This advice was given before the famous breach of promise action "Bardell v. Pickwick" which ended In Judgment for the plaintiff withị £700 damages. On hearing the news Mr. Weller asks sadly of his Ron "Oh, Sammy. Sammy, why weren't there an alleybi?"

The weak point about Mr. Weller's idea of an alibi was his apparent conviction that it could
