And one night when he was going on a sidecar into Castleblayney he was ambushed about 1 mile outside the town by two men Niall Grant Castleblayney, Co Monaghan and Brian Quinn Castleblayney, Co Monaghan. Quinn had a Muzzleloading gun and he shot but missed. Grant had an Iron bar. Bateson was a big able man and he was nearly getting away but they killed him.
