presence of Sheriff George Jones, Mar
shall Willard Armstrong, Prosecutor
r. G.. Sever and other officials. After

and two children living in asuburb of
Chattanooga, Tenn; a father, five
brothers and two sisters in New Al

Bates, a nurse in Christ hospital,
Cincinnati
Had Bank List.
Although he insisted he had never
done any bank jobs or other crooked
work, list of all state banks in Ohio
and the amount of deposits and
amount of bonds held by each was
found in Bates possession. He said
the bogus bank examiner credentials
originally belonged to Colonel Frank
Hunter, of the state banking depart
ment, and that they were stolen from
his office in Columbus, two weeks
ago. The name James E. Powell was
substituted for Hunters.
In his confession Bates stated that
he had been driven from Cincinnati
to College Corner and Oxford, but
neither of the banks looked good and
were to rob the bank there and compel
the driver of the automobile to drive
him to Richmond, where he would
take a train and escape. He said he
had worked for the American Canning
company but had gone short and had
been paying back the money.
Had Automatic Gun.
At the time Bates was arrested an
automatic gun and box of cartridges
were found in his possession, and he
wore black wig. His hair is blonde
and complexion fair and rosy, and has
blue eyes. He is we'll dressed, OF
good appearance and cultured man
ners. Officers took him to Dayton,
Friday, where finger print records and
Bertillion measurements were made
and picture taken.
Late Friday afternoon Bates was
taken before Squire L. T. Stephens
where II. R. Gilmore, local attorney
waived examination for him on an
affidavit charging carrying soncealej
weapons, and he was held to the grand
jury under $1,000 bond He was re
manded to Jail in default of bond.
Police say they believe they have
a good catch in Bates. They have
learned he has several aliases, they
declare.
