Does "out of town" really need to be redefined as "located away from a town?" Actually, since "go" is used, it really should be "leave a town." Or "robber" redefined as "a criminal who steals?" (Why not "a criminal who robs?" -- oh, wait a minute ...) Then "highwayman" -- which is a word that really could use a definition -- gets the vague "one who steals." Yeah, but ... but, there's a lot more to it than that. And then they have "awake" defined as "to stop sleeping," -- which is inaccurate in context. They're defining the verb "awake" instead of the adjective "awake," i.e., "not sleeping." And they have "publicly" defined as "by most of the people?" -- when it should be defined as "without concealment, openly." And "suspicion" (in context) would better be defined as "slight degree ... hint," instead of "a feeling of doubt."

I'm not seeing much in this feature that's worth a lot, if this page is of indication of its accuracy.
