DISGUISE

A counterfeit habit; a dress intended to conceal the person who wears it. Webster.
Anything worn upon the person with the intention of so altering the wearer’s appearance that he shall not be recognized by those familiar with him, or that he shall be taken for another person.
A person lying in ambush, or concealed behind bushes, is not in “disguise,” within the meaning of a statute declaring the county liable in damages to the next of kin of any one murdered by persons in disguise. Dale County v. Gunter, 46 Ala. 118, 142.
