Sir.
In continuation of my No. 24 of the 16 th instant, I have the honour to
report that Mirza Hamza has received telegrams from Suliman Effendi of the
Baghdad Police that Yusuf-bin-Amara and his sister were there at the end of
Zi Hijjah and thence went to Kerbela, and Salih Effendi says that they were
there till the 11 th Muharram.
This appears to prove his alibi, and Mirza Hamza says that this, with the
two dead sons of Chubaidh, shows the sort of evidence the Turks have. They want
to get hold of the Madan because they were parties to a tribal fight on which
several were killed on each side, as was Shinawah. He says he puts himself in
our hands, but this is so evidently a trick to get hold of the men for other reasons,
that he would like a guarantee of their release on proving their alibi. This I
told him was impossible.
I have, etc.
