FARGO (AP) - A preliminary hearing for a former Barnes County jailer charged in a 2004 rape here has been delayed.

Moe Gibbs is charged with Class A felony gross sexual imposition in the rape of a 22-year-old woman on July 27, 2004.

The hearing, originally scheduled for Wednesday, was delayed a second time. Court documents indicate the latest delay is so attorneys have more time to go over DNA evidence. A new date was not immediately set.

Gibbs was linked to the unsolved rape by DNA, officials said, after voluntarily submitting a sample before his arrest on a murder charge in the Sept. 13 death of Valley City State University student Mindy Morgenstern, 22, of New Salem.

Gibbs is scheduled for trial in Morgenstern's death in June in Minot.
