The notice of the bank failure, appearing in the _Jacksonville Herald_,
was dated July 5th. This could not have reached Delavin at a remote part
of Cuba, unserviced by planes, in time for him to get back to New York
on the 6th.
His alibi, therefore, was completely broken, as he said the newspaper
clipping brought him back.
Time is the herald of truth.
