Long, who Is representing ths young man. This same information, th witnesses declare, was placed in the hands of th detactlves before Musa was arrested, but notwithstanding this fact th detectives proceeded to get a warraiK and take him mto custody after efforts to have a reward offered proved successful.: " : - . The testimony of these witnesses Is thst Musa waa Jn th country at the hour he is accused of having purchased a revolver at th Northwest Gun store snd that i he Is known to have been there 10 minutes after the shooting took plac. which could not have been possible had he been the murderer, aa it 1s Impos sible to resch the. place where he. is said to hare been in less time than two hours from th city. ,7 Mr.. Long has been working steadily in behalf of his client sine he took th case and haa been able to trace his movements -through nearly every hour of time from the evening of February 18 to o'clock Saturday night. . "Four men who know Musa well." said Mr. Long, "saw him and talked to him at 4 O'clock Saturday afternoon. He was then In ths vicinity of his home near Sandy. He was Identified by th gunstor man as ths person who pur chased a gun in his stors on Saturday afternoon. . Had he bought It at noon he could not -possibly have gotten where h was at 4 o'clock.

He declared It was an outrage to keep a man against whom there Is so little evidence In Jail wher he cannot provide for a dependent wife and baby. . Th state authorities wanted a postponement to secure further evi dence, and finally ths court set the case for May 7. ... "I can't understand why th police, who admit that their case la weak," said Mr. Long. "Insist upon postponing the trial unless it be that they realise they have mad a blunder and simply want to hold Musa to keep matters quiet while they are casting about for some other clue." . , Ths polic say they are simply work ing on mor evidence against Musa.
