"He gives his name, sir, as Arthur Maguire." "Arthur what, sir?" said another of the turnkeys, looking earnestly at Phelim. "Why, sir, this is the fellow that swore the alibis for the Kellys ay, an' for the Delaneys, an' for the O'Briens. His name is Phelim O'Toole; an' a purty boy he is, by all report."
S -t, an' he gave me fifty ordhers to bring him back an answer this day. As for Phelim O'Toole, if you mane the rascal that swears the alibis, faith, I can't deny but I'm as like him, the villain, as one egg is to another. Bad luck to his 'dhroop, any how; little I thought that it would ever bring me into throuble ha, ha, ha! Mr. S t, what answer have you for the Square, sir?
As the prosecution made its case his triumph became fierce and fearful to behold; then when the defense began its crafty efforts he grew furiously indignant, a mighty rage shook him, he swelled and choked with resentment. "What do you think?" he inquired, one day. "They're proving alibis, one by one! It's infamous!"
Again the Republicans made their proverbial excuses, explaining that they not only faced a formidable opponent in Grover Cleveland but also the threat of a new People's party. The familiar ring of their alibis, which they had repeated since Reconstruction days, made Susan wonder when and if ever the Republicans would feel able to bear the strain of woman suffrage.
"Mavrone, oh! blessed Lord forgive me well I can hardly think so didn't he volunteer along wid yourself an' myself oh, sweet Jasus! what a life I lead oh, Mark Ratigan, Mark Ratigan, what will become o' me! -I swore away the lives of two innocent men I proved three alibis for three of as black villains as ever stretched a rope or charged a blunderbush!
I have thought of the blacklegs along Kanaka Creek. A robbery in Jackass Ravine was traced to that gang. But the rascals stand together, and are ready to defend a partner with alibis or pistols."
On the evening in question it was the evening after the bloody and unsuccessful attempt to rob the Benson stage, and several men were riding hard toward home and help and alibis he was spurring his sweating horse to Tombstone when he got sight of John Slaughter's double rig ahead of him.
He wants to be told without asking told, I mean, that each of the stories, those that have come to him, is a fraud and a libel. Qui s'excuse s'accuse, don't they say? so that do you see me breaking out to him, unprovoked, with four or five what-do-you-call-'ems, the things mother used to have to prove in court, a set of neat little 'alibis' in a row?
The very fact of their being compelled to supply themselves with alibis proves their guilty knowledge of the crime." Luckstone was too experienced an attorney not to be prepared to meet any new turn which the case might take.
Irish deaths, too, are very disloyal, and frequently at variance with the laws: nor are our births much better; for although more legitimate than those of our English neighbors, yet they are in general more illegal. Phelim, in proving his alibis, proved all these positions.
