FATTY BATES AMAZED
Held in $500 Bail and Fined $40
by Justice Voorhis.
Says Monaghan BIackmaiIed Him
and He Is Much Abused.
Is Going to Sue the Park Board for
False imprisonment.

Charles F. Bates who rejoces in the
pet names OF Fatty" and Papa" was
in Yorkville Police Court this morning
indignant and defiant. He went there
bright and early to answer the charge
of reckless driving in Central Park,
made against him by Park Policeman
Monaghan. Bates was arrested shortly
before o'clock last night on Il charge
of speeding his trotter recklcssly on the
circle in front OF the Casino. He would
have been held as a prisoner in the
Arsenal all night had not Thomas ].
Dunn furnished $500 bail for his ap-
pearancc this morning
Mr.. Bates was gayly attired and seemed
very anxious to place his side of the
story before Justice Voorhis. To the
usual questions he curtly replied that
he was twenty-seven years old, and
lived at l West Seventy-se street.
Then he broke loose
This case is one of backmall," he ex-
claimed. THE policeman is insane and
his language was beastly. The trouble
all came about this way; When Mon
Afghan was stationed at the Seventy-sec-
ond street entrance to the park, used to
pay 81 a week to him for the
loose around the park. Three weeks ago
Monaghan was transferred to the Casino
and therefore did not get his weekly sum
from me. Since then he has entertained
grudge, and has been awaiting an OPP
portunity to injure me.

with Berry Wall and another friend.
The gentlemen liked the style Of my
horse and asked me to let him out They
stood aside while l drove him up and
down the circle.

there, arrested me for fast driving: l

Policeman Monaghan then managed to

Monag CHAN denied emphatcaly that he
ever received money from Bates.
cident by sayii there were about four
teen policemen, around him when the
arrest was made. They made so much
noise that the horse was frightened and
! ran.
Justice voorhis then said he thought
he had sufficient evidence. He surprised
the bluff defendant by holding him In 500
bail for violating a Park ordinance and
fined him SO for reckless driving and re-
sistinS arrest.
The fat face of Bates was a study
when the decision was announced. He
clustered out something about paying
the fine under protest Then he pulled
out SO bill. handed 1t to the clerk, ar
ranged about bail and went away.
| Bates's chief claim to fame Is that he
came ont victorious in the suit brought
by Annette T.. McGrath. in which she
tried to establish a marriage between
them.
