CHIEF SAYS BATES' MOVE HIS IDEA Maloney Denies He Was Influenced Although Chief of l'olice John L. Maloney emphatically denied that any police commissioner was responsible for the transferring of Patrolman William S.
Bates from duty at the District Court to Police Headquarters and members of the Police Commission claimed to know nothing about the matter, reports persisted in police circles last night that a commissioner was behind the veteran officer's shift. P'atrolman Bates began his new duties yesterday being on duty at the desk at Police Headquarters from 8 a. m. to D. m.
About 13 Years Bates had been assigned to the District Court for about 15 years. Chief Maloncy announced the change in the officer's duties Saturday. Immediately, police ago Chief officers Maloney recalled that hud some one day ordered Officer Bates transferred from the court to headquarters and the next day had rescinded this order. They said it was gencrully agreed in the department that one commissioner had decided that Bates was not needed in the court. Chict Maloney last night said, "Absolutely not," when asked if a police commissioner had told him to transfer Patrolman Bates or had suggested the shift.
The chief made it plain that he did not like published reports to this effect. He said, "I needed somebody in the office and it was impossible to take anybody off street duty." Much Comment Atty. Joseph E. Kerigan said he personally had nothing to do with the transfer and he did not believe any of the other commissioners did. He said he knew that Chief Maloney had been considering rearranging some of the details on the day squad to sec if he could not get more men for strect duty.
He stated that any such changes are and should be entirely up to the chief. The reports that a commissioner was responsible this change occasioned much comment in the department because the officers feel that in the past the commissioners have mixed far too much in the detailing of officers. Practically every member of the force thinks that the commissioners should leave this duty in the chief's hands. The present commission has, as far as the rank and tile is aware, refrained pretty much from interfering in the running of the department and this is believed to be the Arst time that a report of such interference by this commission has gained such headway.
