AN ALIBI.—This colored man’s defin
ition of an alibi may help some of our
boys in khaki prove they were in camp
when they weren’t. Perhaps, also, it may
help out some of our civilian Nobles:
"What is an alibi? Well, sah, an alibi
is provin’ dat you was at a prayer meetin’,
whar you wasn’t, in order to show dat you
wasn't at a crap game, whar you was."
