Richard Kimble has used 118 aliases that we know of. But, it turns out there's another one, Eddie 'Glenn' Fry, which he used in an unseen episode which we see in flashbacks. Fry is recognized while Dick is using another alias, Bill 'purple' Hayes. Well, it seems Fry was murdered by the always drunk and abusive John Anderson. Only, Fry wasn't really murdered, he just disappeared. So Dick goes back to Black River to clear Anderson of the charge, since he knows what it's like being convicted of a murder he didn't do. He goes back and everyone looks like they've seen a ghost. Too late to save Anderson, as a posse shot him dead when he escaped. His girlfriend/housekeeper testified she saw him kill Fry, cause that's what she thought she saw. It's not really clear exactly what happened, but Dick must have somehow left without her seeing. Really, the whole show is kind of unclear about a lot of things. Anderson had two sons, and one wants to kill Kimble, or Fry, or Hayes, whoever. The other is more reasonable and tries to talk him out of it. Anyways, the good son winds up shooting the bad son as the bad son is about to shoot Kimble. Everyone comes in after that and Dick says he did the shooting, to protect the good son. The law kind of turns their back and allows Dick to leave and remain.....a fugitive.
