OAKLAND, CALF, Nov. 2.-Edward
Moseley, 81 years old, and known as
the hoy bandit" has been transferred
to the Alameda county jail where he
is being detained on a charge of rob-
". He is alleged to have committed
the crime on the night of September
18th.
Young Moseley is also suspected of
the murder Of Henry Skolnick, who was
found shot through the side at Camp
bell and Pacific streets a few weeks
age. Skolnick's dying statement gave
a description that seemed to fit Mosely.
MoSely, who says he is an orphan and
halls from Baltimore, was arrested two
hours after the death of Skolnick. A
32-calibre revolver was found on him.
Besides the Scant description furnished
by the dying man, Mosely was Sus-
pected of the murder because the bull
let which killed Skolnick was of the
same calibre as the revolver found on
the boy.
Mosely declares he is innocent of
the murder. He maintains that at
the time of the shooting he was up
town. When he was arrested he had
only $4.88 in his pockets, whereas, he
pointed out, the man who shot Skol-
nick was supposed to have robbed his
victim Of SIS.
