Abstract: We prove new separability results about free groups. Namely, if $H_1,ldots,H_k$ are infinite index, finitely generated subgroups of a non-abelian free group $F$, then there exists a homomorphism onto some alternating group $f:Fwoheadrightarrow{A}_m$ such that whenever $H_i$ is not conjugate into $H_j$, then $f(H_i)$ is not conjugate into $f(H_j)$. The proof is probabilistic. We count the expected number of fixed points of $f(H_i)$'s and their subgroups under a carefully constructed measure.
