29th last. :There was a Conflict of
.evidence , ,as to 'what • actually took
place.The•defence had offered equally
-credible evidence to establish an alibi.
—the evidence of Frank .Moore, uncle
of the accused,; while he may be: a.
reputable man, was not to be given
the same stress as that :of 'Lamont,
Denman arid S,parling. Moore had,an
interest in the case. It, was signi•fie-
ant that any man weeks after could

that the. whisker effect could be had,
with a make-up."`Men•'who rob banks
ado not leave their photos behind, they
do not leave their fingerprints; they
were gloves, as it has been testified
that these nien,•did: One 'does• not
need to lave more than ordinary in-
telligence- to disguise himself. The
seine applies to the foreign •accent
which. the robbers are said to have
used at the time .of the •robbery."
