This proof is usually made out by the testimony of witnesses ,
but it is presumed it might be made out by writings ;
as if the party could prove by a record properly authenticated ,
that on the day or at the time in question ,
he was in another place .
4 .
It must be admitted that mere alibi evidence lies under a great and general prejudice ,
and ought to be heard with uncommon caution ;
but if it appear ,
to be founded in truth ,
it is the best negative evidence that can be offered ;
it is really positive evidence ,
which in the nature of things necessarily implies a negative ;
and in many cases it is the only evidence which an innocent man can offer .
